Hi drewski69 Nothing really wrong in the log but possibly the media you're using. It's made by Prodisc and not always that compatible w/ all drives. Did this same spindle of media wrong w/ this drive before you switched the mobo and cpu? Switch the media - look for Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or made in Japan Sony, Fuji or Maxell.
well u know what it turned out to be. i got a disc/dvd drive cleaner that u ran and it brushed off the lense. after that it worked fine again! thanks for the help. i was starting to really get frustrated. and yeh before i switched mobo & cpu i had the same spindle of maxells
