I've been using my trusty Emprex branded BTC DVDRW IDE1008 for years now with little to no problems. I had previously been using Nero 6 (the exact version number I forget). I recently reformatted my system and installed Nero 7.10.1.0 on a fresh install of Windows XP, and now the damn thing refuses to burn any DVD media I throw at it, even media that were confirmed working before the reformat. I'm using a super old, factory installed firmware version, but I don't think that's the root of the problem. I have been using this drive and firmware for years now, and all of a sudden it fails to burn the same exact media I have been using for years. Anyone know what the problem is? It's incredibly frustrating. So far I've tried Sony DVD+R and DVD+RWs and some really ancient unmarked disks (I think they're Ritek)
