hello everyone, i have burned before with 100% success, but have recently had to reformat my drive and reinstall everything. sence then i have been unable to burn. after reading threads it may seem that i need to update the firmware for that drive. i am unsure how to do that and where to start. here is a log of my most recent attempt.

I first did a test and it worked fine as you saw, so the problem seems to be the drive's firmware or something along those lines. i really could use some advice if anyone has any ideas. thanks to all of you for you help. steve
