| Sorry, I had gone to bed for the night by the time you posted back  The reason I asked about Alcohol/Daemon Tools, is they can often cause this kind of behaviour I see you've only tried the one brand of blank disc - do you have the odd disc of a different brand lying around, that you can try? Or maybe beg one off a friend? Out of curiosity - did you make sure the drive worked properly before crossflashing it (or indeed flashing any new firmware at all)? It's a bit after the fact now, but it's always a good idea to test the drive thoroughly before messing with firmware - especially since this is an ebay purchase. If trying a different brand of disc doesn't help, and chance you can try the drive connected to another PC?
