I've looked a bit more into it and I can't find and firmware. I can't even find the manufactures site. It is a "Pacific CDWRITER IDE5224". Even more worring is that when i brought the CD-RW Drive there was no driver disc with it. Windows XP Home must of provided them.

Something strange happened... I could not write at 4x with Nero, so i tried different firmwares, different disc brands, etc. but nothing changed... until...
one day i bought a dvd-r by a brand called "General, That's write" and now Nero says that my dvd burner is 4x, even when i use the dvd-rs it used to recognize as 2x discs earlier.
I have the same firmware as before (A301), and i haven't installed any new burning software, nor new drivers. This doesn't make any sense, however i hope it helps somebody.

I purchased the LGE GSA-4040B with high hopes after reading a review and comparo of like 11 different DVD-+RW units at Tom's Hardware.
Installed without a hitch, had no problems, but also could not burn higher than 2x with -R discs. Haven't tried any other media yet.
Anyhow, updated from Firmware version A300 to A302, and still the same results.
However, I used the Nero infotool application to re-scan the drive, and it now recognizes as a 4x and I have since burned 4 DVDS at 4x.
Try that, may solve your problem.

It is part of the Nero toolkit, I got it with Nero 6. That's really all I know, if you have Nero you should have it... otherwise google around a bit I'm sure you can find it.

Thanks for that tip. I shall try it out. Have you found any good offers on Google yet. However thinking about it, is it just because I have the freebie version that they give away with CD-RW Drives.

hey all, I have the same burner and the same problem. I installed the Nero oem software that came with the burner and it recognized the burner only at 2X infact every burning software i downloaded was the same only 2x so i updated the firmware only casused more problems and had to unistall then i tryed a new version of Nero, its Nero 6 Ultra Edition finally it works on 4x, just try a new version of Nero and it should fix its self, oh yeah make sure all the previous Nero files are off your computer before installing Nero 6 Ultra Edition.

I just finished burning @ 4x with dvd-r using Nero and the lg dvd writer. I had to goto the infotool folder in Nero and enter the value of 4...also when u goto burn you have uncheck the enable highly compatible mode otherwise it just reads the dvd-r as a dvd-rw(the max write speed for those is 2x).
