    hi

    is the firmware upto date? this usaully covers this sort of problem.

    not heard of overspeed? se the drive reads the discs for info so it knows what it can throw it out at, may be the discs havent been covered in the new firmware yet, try some decent not cheap media like RITEK and see what happens?

    alsoi think nero has a tool in start menu under nero link for setting up read speeds on all drives, use it!

    hi,
    thank you for replying
    this is the most recent firmware available on the asus website
    as for over speed it written on the retail box of the dvd writer its supposed to write @16x to 8x media
