coldseptembers Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) Hi All, I am having issues burning DVD+RW Verbatim DataLifePlus media on my Lite-On DVD+-RW LH20A1L. I was able to burn a DVD+RW the other day (with some issues), but whenever I try to burn a DVD+RW now, I receive the following errors: I 22:36:25 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started! I 22:36:25 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2) I 22:36:25 Total Physical Memory: 522,928 KB - Available: 299,760 KB I 22:36:26 Initialising SPTI...

I know this drive is definitely capable of burning to most DVD formats. Also, I checked for a firmware update, but there is none currently available. If anyone could give me any suggestions or point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 If the DVD+RW's you're trying to use there are in A1 condition (or new), all you can do is avoid using those particular discs until the firmware is fixed. I did actually manage to locate a BL04 firmware for the drive so give that a try. http://club.cdfreaks.com/showpost.php?p=18...p;postcount=143 Lots of posts over at the cdfreaks forum are saying the drive can't burn anything, not even TYG02 - which are probably the best media ever created.

coldseptembers Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) My gosh, what a quick reply! Thanks a lot Lightning! I did look on the official Lite-On website for the firmware update and couldn't find anything, but I'm glad you were able to locate a firmware update. I updated that and I'll see how I make out. I sure hope I didn't buy a crappy drive...I just bought it from newegg.com, and it received high ratings. Maybe I'll buy some new media and experiment. Thanks again for you help, I really appreciate it. Edit: Low and behold, the firmware update allowed me to erase, reformat, and burn to the Verbatim DataLifePlus DVD+RWs! Thanks a million! You better believe I'm going to donate! Edited August 12, 2007 by coldseptembers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
