gsa-4040b will not burn DVD-R or DVD-RAM

[Kingnog]

I've had this drive for a while now. It's been burning everything perfectly, near-zero coasters. Few days ago I attempted to format a DVD-RAM, and it got "stuck" halfway through. Now the disk cannot be accessed by any program (windows cannot format it, nero cannot erase it, etc).

Since then, my drive has not been able to burn DVD-R disks. The same day as the DVD-RAM format error (before the error), I was able to burn DVD-R's fine. In fact, I've burn many of them, all the same type of disk, and they're good quality disks. I have the latest firmware (A304), have not changed any settings in the drive...no idea why this would be happening, anybody?

I have the same drive with the old original firmware....no problems with mine yet though I never got the RAM Driver to work properly in the first place.

I tried downgrading the firmware, no change
