I realize this has been discussed more than once. I have a unique situation maybe someone might be able to help. I always use the same media, that is verbatim dvd+rdl. I have had several successful burns, but at least 1/3 of em get stuck writing lead in. This is the only errors I ever get. I have tried multiple burners, multiple stacks of verbatims, swapped power supply for beefier one, unplugged all non crucial peripherals, all current firmware for both burners. I've reinstalled imgburn a couple times. Reinstalled disc drives and drivers. Tried different ide and sata connections. What do you think is causing such a low success rate? Why do the drives lock out when writing lead in fails? This is the log. I 01:26:32 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!

I have run into the same issue before, I found that if I disabled my VIRUS SOFTWARE, the disk will burn fine.Give it a try!
