Hey, do you have an recommendations? I've looked on the net and have gotten varied responses - some people seem to favour the Sony DRX840U.

Hi Everyone, First off I've already tried to look for this error in other forum posts but haven't been able to find a solution. I'm currently burning iso images to Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5 GB Discs using ImgBurn. However, for the last 7 discs, I've been stopped at exactly 51%, coinciding to the new layer write. I've successfully burned 4 discs from my current batch of 20. Before Verbatim I tried Aeone and only one of the 10 discs worked - most proceed to 100% but then disc finalising failed with the error "No Write Current". Anyway here is the relevant info: The error messages from the last two burns were: I/O Error!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Jen
