    Did you flash you dvd writer with new firmware? What brand of media and the Speed of media are you using? If it's 16x your drive will probably not recognize it! Find an old blank 4X or 8X and see if it can read those blanks. With the drives being so cheap now get yourself a new drive for Xmas, IF you can't update the firmware.

    Maybe you need to reflash your drive and even get an older firmware that works. If that does not work it may mean the drive is dead.

    Can somebody help me figure out how to install the firmware please? I have it downloaded, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to install it.

    And thanks so much for all the help so far! You're all great!

    well, for my "Nu-Tech" Burner..hehe laugh all you want :)!
    It was an .exe file, i ran the .exe and it said "the flash warning" then you continue with that, then there will be a meter that will fill up or something, just make sure that you have NO media in your drive or anything when you flash it.

    Hmmm, none of that happened for me. I keep trying to run it and it says there's a mismatch or something. I know my drive isn't dead because it runs stuff, so that isn't a problem.

    Should I try buying the -R discs? Or is it just a waste of time?

    I don't know. I've never tried burning music to a CD and quite honestly have no idea how to do so.

    Never stop asking about anything, sooner or later you will always find somebody on AD that will oblige, dont forget we were all noobs, newbies, stupid or whatever they want to call us when we first started.
