Drive is only 3 yrs old maybe more? Nah it couldn't be that :rolleyes:

Seriously you seem to know what could be problems so you should test those theories. I know I just replaced 2 1yr. old Samsung SH-203b drives as they wouldn't burn my Memorex DVD+R DL media at 8x with 2 Samsung SH-223Q drives. The drives are so cheap today if you do a lot of burning be worth it to upgrade anyways

Thank you for your opinions :).

 

Both are right that it's time to buy a new one, so I'll have to read the reviews on cdfreaks or cdrinfo.

 

I'll have to read about Pioneer, Samsung or Lite-on because I can

Yesterday, after a reboot, I just started ImgBurn (without other programs running on the background) and burnt a DVD+DL. This was the error:

It messed up just as it started writing layer 1. So, the drive has had it - it can't focus into layer 1 to write.
