my drive is pioneer A03

the simulation seems to work alright but the burning stops as soon as it starts. never had any problems with any media before... even tried different burning software and burning speeds, but nothing works.

the message i get is

I had a 100 stack of some white topped unbranded 4x media as well, that my NEC1300 would not even recognize. One I updated the firmware, they worked like a charm.
