    your drive is most likly bad time for a new one the cost of a new drive is less than 100.00 and in some cases less than 50.00

    I would say it is probably time for a new drive also, does not look like there is any support for this drive and the last firmware update for it was 2 years ago. Media has changed a lot in that time, I think your drive just can't keep up anymore. As stated new burners are really getting cheap you can even find some for less than 40.00. Try at

    There are always deals going on.
