Was it OK with 1.51?

Tried RecordNow?

Tried another media type?

[chewie82]

I had an older firmware (something like 1.34), and it didn't work then.
It just stopped working one day.

It is in fact an OEM from Memup (french company).
The drive is a Ricoh RW5125A

What is RecordNow ?

Tried Verbatim DVD+R 2.4x Certified
and Traxdata DVD+R

I can burn DVD+RW (Verbatim) and CDRW or CDR

Thanks for your help

You are getting a hardware error so I would say that it is probably a bad drive.
