LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 You'd need a WG series firmware, not WY as found on FirmwareHQ.com For that you'll need to speak with whoever made your laptop. Have you tried burning at all the supported write speeds? (2.4x, 4x, 6x) Failing that, read this: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 The other option is to buy a decent external drive that supports your current discs a little better.
ThreeSixty Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 You have a LG pure drive. You shouldnt have trouble with upgrading it, The older generation ones were virtually not updateable http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1148-fi...0nwy04.exe.html <<<< This is where to get the firmware from. It maybe a gateway drive but it has an LG oem running it. Also its an setup file so itll be very easy to install. Just follow the instructions in the setup
ThreeSixty Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 OOps didnt realize it wasnt compatible lightning. Like lightning said. Try a external!
kandygs400 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 ACTUALLY I GOT IT TO WORK.....i did what you did THREESIXTY i went back and used the older version of image burn v2.4 and it worked perfectly fine...didnt stop or anything and it wrote at 4x speed and read at 4x speed...v2.5 read at 6x but only wrote at 2.4x's...i dunno why the older one worked and the newer one didnt...all the settings were the same? lighting would you happen to know why? THANKS GUYS!
mmalves Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Because you wrote at 4x when it was failing before with 2.4x speed. It all depends on the burner/firmware/media/write speed combination: the software doesn't control burn quality or anything like that.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Did you actually try selecting 4x in the 'Write Speed' drop down?! If not, obviously it wouldn't burn at that speed
