Hello there, i have an asus g73jh and it came with a dl dvd burner LG GT30N. The thing is that I burned a DL DVD once and only once he he, after that dvd every time I try to burn anything on a DL DVD i got different errors. I'm using nero, IMGBurn and UltraIso but I always get up to 50%, it just won't burn the 2nd layer, I upgraded the firmware to ASS2 and same problems, I tried with Ridata, Verbatim and Sony with the same results. The laptop is 6 months old and i can burn single layer dvd's just fine. I'm leaving the last log and maybe someone can give me some advice on what I can do. Hopefully it's something I can fix by myself because taking it back for warranty will be a pain in the butt he he. Thx! Log. Code: I 10:40:09 ImgBurn Version 2.5.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! - who authors ImgBurn, only uses Verbatim DL+R. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=61 I would burn a project with one and post the log at the Forum. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showforum=6
