Hi, great forum and looks like some really smart folks in here helping people out, so I thought I would throw this out... I have been burning discs for weeks now with no problem, however in the last week, nothing will burn. I checked with Nero and got updates and rebooted, but I am still getting errors when burning. Using Memorex DVD-R media, but that has not been the been a problem in the past. Thanks for any and all help. Here is the log -- Looks like Firmware is often the issue, how do I know what update I could possibly need? -------------------------------------- NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.10.1.2 Internal Version: 7, 10, 1, 2 Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GWA4164B>Version: E113 - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.10.1.2 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data (1) -> ATAPI, detected: ?
