Hello, I have started facing this problem from today and I have wasted quiet a lot DVDs . I have purchased a new Liteon LH-20A1P. I had written close to 10 DVDs of the same brand. There was no problem and the writings were absolutely fine. Today it got messed up because of what, I'm not sure and need your help.

This version is full of bugs, uninstall, run this clean tool http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html and then install this version 7.5.9.0 from here http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/ or a later version Latest firmware is KLOG from here http://www.liteonit.com/DOWNLOADS/ODD/LH-20A1P/firmware/DR20KL0G.zip It is recommended to have a minimum of 512mb RAM to burn successfully, I would recommend adding a further 256mb
Thanks a lot my friend. I will perform the software updates and keep you posted. Thanks again. Regards, Santhosh
