Sometimes media codes are not recognized by the burner without a firmware update. Visit this site: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_search.php

and put the model of your drive in the search box and hit search. It will show you if you need a firmware update. If you do, download it to your desktop. Turn off all programs. Double click on the download file and it should self install or give you directions to install.

If you have problems, post back with your burner number and I will look it up for you.

Cheers.
