Hi There, I've got an LG super-multi GSA-2164D burner that fails everytime I try to burn a disk. It has worked in the past but seemed to be unreliable after I updated the firmware. I burnt one disk a couple of days ago but two disks failed before it succeeded. I've used a range of different media, from cheap and nasties, right through to top shelf media and at the moment i'm using both TDK and Imation and neither of them will burn. I've used Ashampoo burning studio 6 and Nero 7 premium both do the same thing. Cache and then fail. I've included the Nero log below. Any help will be much appreciated. Cheers.
