mmalves Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I 19:02:53 Destination Device: [1:1:0] DVD+RW RW5125 1.27 (F:) (ATA)I 19:02:53 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Speeds: 2x, 2.4x) See if this firmware update works. Remove any disc and close the tray before updating. Reboot after it has finished. Anyway you really should get a new burner, yours is ancient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
