I have yet to burn a successful CD-R or CD-RW with the 401S drive. I have upgraded it with latest ES0G firmware, still no go. It works fine with the included DVD+R disc, but I figure it shouldn't have problems with CD-Rs. I have tried Compusa CDR, Memorex CDR and CD-RW, no name CD-R, all of them failed.

Is this drive THAT picky on the media, or do I have a defective drive? Does anybody have any recommendation on CD-R/RW media that will work with this drive?

Thanks,

Stephen
