Hi,

I've tried reflashing the firmware (1.21, 1.3 normal & hacked), changing to PIO, different burning programs, different media (DVDPro, Verbatim, Sony), different burn speeds, a fresh Win Xp install on a different drive and I still get errors on most discs, mainly towards the end of the disc. (used DVDInfo)

CD's burn OK with no errors.

Can the laser go out of alignment or something at the outter of the disc?

Is it because the outter edge is spinning faster than the middle and the drive is faulty the reason?

I live in New Zealand and imported the drive from the USA so sending it back is going to cost me around $50 to $100US

thanks
Mark
