Hey I have a TSSTcorp TS-H553A burner, and I just went to the Dell website yesterday and updated to the latest fiirmware in the hopes that it would solve the bitsetting issues I was having with DVD+DLs. This derive has always been a picky drive for me, but now it seems like it's having troubles burning a little bit of everything. Every once and a while you'll get a success but I hate making too many coasters out od a simple thing. Here's an error log from drying to burn a data DVD onto a Sony DVD+R (single layered): Chris Groux ****-****-****-****-****-****-**** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.10.1.0 Internal Version: 7, 10, 1, 0 (Nero Express) Recorder: <TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H553A>Version: DE04 - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.10.1.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?
