i used the discinfo utility and it gave me a summary of my dvr-109. can anyone tell me whats up with this? Nero "says" the drive is not initializing - perhaps due to a defective disc DISCINFO VERSION : 1.5.5.9 VENDOR : PIONEER MODEL : DVD-RW DVR-109 REVISION : 1.57 VENDOR SPECIFIC : 05/07/05 PIONEER LOADING MECHANISM : Tray SERIAL NUMBER : ECDL366180WL NUMBER VOL.

are you sure you did the discinfo utility on the correct drive?? do you have a 2nd drive installed on your computer??? a dvd-rom drive perhaps? i have this drive myself, the Pioneer dvr-109, this is VERY weird if you ran a scan on the pioneer and THIS was the results it found~ all i can say, is "wtf" too~ ????
