Can anyone give me suggestions as to which brand of CDRW or DVD+R will work on my Thompson drive? Having some trouble!

what trouble are you having? i've used all kinds of brands of cdrw with mine and all have worked so far. i use -R/RW discs and all the brands i've tried have worked in my thompson drive too. i generally use DVDpro, Accu, Princo, and memorex DVD-R/RW. it could be the way you're making the ISo, what trouble are you having?

So far I've been using HP CDRW. I also have DVD+R's(haven't tried them yet though. How should I be creating the ISO? Which brands have you used of CDRW's?

i use memorex, imation, fuji, etc. i'd use craxtion to make your iso's, i use it and it's about the best program i've used.

i have heard that the cromwell bios can be very unstable/unreliable with certain issues.

my advice would be to re-flash the chip with the latest xecuter bios, can be found at http://www.g4merzo1d.co.uk.tt

then burn iso's to memorex 700mb cd-rw. i use them and NEVER had a problem with them, not even with an iso which was only 3mb!!!

Hope this helps
