adjusting to 1x write only...

Hi i have the MSI DR16-B (MS-8416B) with the latest firmware update on it and im finding it IMPOSSIBLE to burn at 1x or anything below 4x to be honest, is it just the drive, or software related, or firmware related... thanx

 

because otherwise i cant load up my backed up ps2 dvd games...

 

What software are you using.

 

I used NERO the latest one with all the updates, DVD decrypter...

 

I find when burning with Nero if i can not adjust the speed down it is more than lightly your media.If you can not knock the speed down in the speed box in Nero i reckon your drive can not reconize the media you are using properly.Download this freeware programe from the link below which will help you check your media.

Thanx for all the help everyone has given!.
