Your drive probably dates back way before they started following MMC specifications.

Sorry but you're out of luck, your drive is not supported.

I might be able to figure something out if you press F8 before clicking the write button, then press F8 again after it has totally failed.

SAVE the log as a file and attach it in a post.

Hi guys,

The CD-RW drive is rather old as is the box itself. Hmm, I may be SOL then. When I get home tonight I'll try the F8 tip and post a full log.

Thanks for your help.
