I burned about a dozen dvds and ps2 games no problem - now I just get a burn error about 10 seconds into any burn. Here's my error log if anybody can decipher it: BTW, where it says "Disc not writeable. Insert writeable disc", there was a perfectly good blank disc in there - I had to reinsert it a few times to get it acknowledged as such.

I cant help with the log you posted but if it is only two months old and assuming you bought it at a retailer such as CompUSA or Best Buy or something than it should have some sort of warrant on it. And if the stores dont cover call the company.
