I have an HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B Dvd drive (Firmware A104) I had never actually needed to buy dual layer discs before but the need arose. Went and got them...but they won't burn! I have tried bitsetting but it says that it isn't supported on this device. (Though I have heard the opposite online)I have tried numerous programs and all have failed me. It will burn anything else and will even detect that the disc is a dual-layer dvd. Here is a Nero error report: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 6:35:34 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 6:35:34 PM Nero Version: 6.6.0.13 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 13c (Nero Express) Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B>Version: A104 - HA 0 TA 0 - 6.6.0.13 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <LITE-ON DVD SOHD-167T >Version: 9TS1 - HA 0 TA 1 - 6.6.0.13 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON DVD SOHD-167T atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : WDC WD2500JD-22HBB0 atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : WDC WD5000AAKS-00TMA0 atapi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : AXV CD/DVD-ROM 2.2a a347scsi Port 3 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B D: CDRom0 LITE-ON DVD SOHD-167T E: CDRom1 AXV CD/DVD-ROM J: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 2047MB (2097151kB) Free physical memory: 2047MB (2097151kB) Memory in use : 26 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 2.5.2008 ISO compilation 12:10:11 AM #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6194 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : TRUE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 12:10:12 AM #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 12:10:12 AM #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B running 12:10:12 AM #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3293 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 12:10:12 AM #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3167 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 12:10:12 AM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 260 Last possible write address on media: 4173823 (927:30.73, 8151MB) Last address to be written: 3485359 (774:31.34, 6807MB) 12:10:12 AM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 272 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD DVD) 12:10:12 AM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2339 Recorder: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B, Media type: DVD+R9 Double Layer Disc Manufacturer ID: RITEK, Media Type ID: S04, Product revision number: 66 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 3 12:10:12 AM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 438 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 12:10:12 AM #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 830 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 3485360 (3485360) = #3485360/774:31.35 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 3485360 blocks [HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B] -------------------------------------------------------------- 12:10:12 AM #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1043 Prepare recorder [HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Hi Iomega HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i bought a iomega super dvd burner (external). nero info tool and windows recognise it as HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4120B. It burns DVD+R's at 12x and -R's at 8x + & - RW's burn at 4x. It is also able to burn dual layer DVD's at 2.4x. Shortly after i purchased this burner they released a 16x Burner. it looks identical. could mine be upgaded to 16x? is there any firmware available? Try imgburn, free from www.imgburn.com http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/burn_dvd_folder_imgburn.cfm

You can try for a Nero update from here 6.6.1.15 http://www.filehippo.com/download/7717bb2aa35a8a6b405b8322e5dfe50b/download/ Jsut to inform you however that Nero is NOT the best of apps for d/l burning.
Your disc maybe your problem. Found this at cd freaks website RITEK S04 - Suggest burner -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How about none of the above. I hate to say it man but Ritek in general has taken a dive in quality and their D/L media is no exception. You might get a working burn but it's anyone's guess as to how long it will last. Who knows though, Ritek might surprise us with this new S04 8x D/L media but methinks not. Anyways, the Benq or Lite-On would be my pick of the bunch.
Actually, the Ritek S04s aren't bad. I prefer them over the MII Verbatim DLs. BUT your burner has to like them. My Benq doesn't, actually can't get a good burn with them on it, but one of my Lite-ons and both of my Sammys do. I'ts very possible your HL-DT-ST isn't compatible with them. Try some Verbatim DLs, the Made in Singapore ones. Do your first burn at 2.4x, if that goes well, try 4x.
