You're using discs that the drive doesn't like/support. A firmware update may fix that if you can find one.

 

As you seem to be burning double layer discs, ensure you're using Verbatim DVD+R DL's. The others are useless in comparison.

Thanks for the note: I'm using Datawrite DVD+R DL.....I will purcahse some Verbatim and give it go. that might explain why sometimes it does not even reconise that there is a disk in the drive...but others it does (then fails to burn...)

 

where would one go for a firmware update? what is it exactly (new driver?)

 

Thanks

A drives firmware is like the 'operating system' for it.

 

It controls what the drive can and cannot do.

 

Go here and download PYS3

Install that and then try again.

one of `the members CraigOsborn has the same drive and nothing but problems with it you can read the thread, look for his name further dowm the this page

[dontasciime]

And yet i have the liteon version 160P6S and its very good, not one failed burn from over 400+ disc's

this assumes you are correct in saying your drive is SONY DW-Q120A..

 

You could cross flash it to the same as mine a liteon 160P6S

 

i have uploaded the files you need, this would be at your own risk though.
