LG 4081B 4X writing won't work after firmware update

[Blackout_08]

I recently purchased the LG 4081B 8X drive and after looking on the net i found out i had to update the firmware which I did. When my computer boots up it will say A101 which tells me its updated. Also when I run the update program it says my current version is A101. I was wondering why I still cannot write at 4x. I have used Nero 6 and Easy Cd Creator and still only 2X. I have 4X media which I want to write to. One possible explanation I can think of, is that I did not have my burner plugged as the Master on the second chain because I have my Linux drive as my Master when i updated the firmware. Wasn't sure if that was going to screw anything up in terms of my dual-boot. If you know please let me know.

Im running windows Xp pro sp1, p4. 1.8ghz, 769mb SDram, etc....

Ne help is appreciated!

I had the same difficulties. I changed media brand and voila burnt at 4 speed. Was using a el-cheapo which stated 1-4X but obvioulsy wasn't.

goto dvd media on your left and check the media that can write at 4X with the 4081 and use those instead.
