well at any rate i followed ur advice and updated from BS0Y to CS0T i'll try again and see if this fixed my problem

just to clarify your last post: csot for the 1653 and not the 1633s? i installed the update already for the 1633s, not the 1653

I would wait for rpc1 to come back roger that, any idea why it's down? typical? Ok, after locating the CodeGuys mirror site, I downloaded and installed, the correct firmware update. Installation went without a hitch. I tried to reburn the exact same image file as before. No error message whatsoever. One thing I noticed though, as the completion percentage began to rise, the read/write lights on my burner were dormant. Upon completion, I removed the dvd-r, turned it over, and I could tell that nothing had actually been burnt. According to ImgBurn, the process was completed sucessfully. Any ideas here? Why would the program believe everything went fine, but it never actually wrote anything to the disk?

After searching forever, I found this link: http://codeworks.cdfreaks.com/cgmirror It's a mirror site with full download access. W00t.

Yeah I noticed that when trying to get to their site. Are there any other 3rd party sites offering the firmware upgrade that I will need? (and yes, I have a Gateway) I was reading some other forums, and another guy was unable to upgrade the firmware with the link posted above, http://www.liteonit.com/DOWNLOADS/ODD/SOHW...re/DR16BS0Y.zip, all references pointed towards the CodeGuys site for the correct firmware upgrade.

alright thank you digi for your help. i'll post a screenshot of the log when I get home, and update the firmware as well.

Can you just look at this error message? I am at work and don't have access to any log that you mentioned.

I am receiving this error message. I am following the guide step by step for burning a dvd image file (video). This error message occurs each time, regardless of the image I am attempting to burn. Below is a screenshot. Your input is greatly appreciated. http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-...606924_1122.jpg Can't use the code to insert a screen shot, if you can follow that link please do so. Thanks.
