Hi souroush Try this firmware for your drive - 1.16. The platinum dvd your using are made by CMC - not the best. Better media to use would be Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim or made in japan Sony, Fuji or maxell. I'd stick w/ 8x or lower on this drive too - since it's an older drive that hasn't had any firmware updates in a few years newer media like 16x might be hit or miss. You also have 84% of your memory in use. Close any unneeded programs when burning.
hi, thanks for your reply but i tried to install but it says: target didn't find any device so i can't install it ?
Ok did this drive come w/ the pc? If it did who is the pc manufacturer? They're probably the ones supporting the firmware on it.
