The burner is saying that it doesn't know how to burn this particular disk - probably because the firmware on the burner does not recognize the disk code: You can either try to find newer firmware for the drive: at the manufacturers site or here: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_search.php Or try another brand of disk - preferably 'Verbatim'.
