sounds like you may have some doggy discs:(
try changing the source of your burn, use different files and see how that comes out, can it burn CD-R or make DATA DVDS?

no luck with imgburn, forgot to mention that one. 'incompatible format'
rom is 1.W5 but i see 1.F2 as latest when 1.W5 seems it would be older. i don't have the file i flashed with awhile ago.
cdr and DVD+R is ok, never used ridata on the drive tho, was using maxell in the past.

you may have to stick with the DVD dash R format or the DVD plus R format only!
