Imgburn Failed

[jtheod]

Purchased this computer a while ago. Made one CD with Ashampoo. Tried again, and get calibration error. Tried Nero and get Calibration error. Afterdawn advised I try you guys. Here is my log: I accidentally put a DVD into the tray instead of a CD on the first failure:

Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished) and try burning at 16x or 24x.

Updated firmware, still no burn:

How old is that burner? Is it still under warranty? Could you try with Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs?

 

It seems weird that it can't burn CDs, but then again I have a similar model of the same brand and it died for CD media a few months ago

I have no idea how old it is, but I will try the other discs you mentioned. Thanx!!
