Hard to say unless you know exactly what was in the firmware upgrade. One of the things that a burner does is read information from the disc blank that tells the burner how to burn the disc. It could be that a new type of disc was introduced and your burner was not set up to handle it. That would account for your getting failures only with a certain format and certain manufacturers and for your sudden recovery after the upgrade. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
