What version is firmware?

Have you upgraded firmware?

[wittangamo]

Media is the most likely suspect. What have you tried? Give us the media ID readout from DVD Identifier, DVDInfoPro or Kprobe and we can tell you whether it's the good stuff or junk.

Did your friend do a firmware flash or try a mod? A constantly blinking orange light is usually the sign of a failed update.

[Ssseth]

Have you modified your drive with any "mods" other then official LiteOn firmware?

As requested please post the media ID from all DVD media you have tried so far (check the guide in my sig, kprobe section for how).
Could you also post the failed burns logs please.

Is the drive set to DMA mode?

Oh, one last thing:

Thanks

I HAVE CURRENTLY FIRMWARE VERSION GSB6,
THE MOST OF THE ERRORS I GET ARE= WRITE ERROR, COMMAND SEQUENCE ERROR, INVALID COMMAND, INVALID TRAK INFO.
WHE USEING NERO.
THE DISCS I AM USING ARE DATAWRITE CLASSICS 1X2X4X YELLOW TYPE. IM GONING TO TRY kprobe OUT TO GET THE FULL INFO. I HAVE ALSO SOME BULKPACK DVD-RW??

MY MATE HAS NO IDEA ABOUT MODING OF FLASHING HIS DRIVE,
HE JUST BOOTED HIS COMP UP AND FOUND IT WOULD NOT READ ANYTHING ?? JUS KEEPON FLASHING !

In Win2k (thats what I have) go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers -> Choose Primary or Secondary IDE Channel -> Advanced Settings and set it to DMA

Please refrain from writing in all caps in the future if you want your question answered.

I'm no expert but that scan looks pretty good for a Princo Disk even at max read speed.

I've just bought one of these drives and while I am still having problems getting a disc that can be read in standalone it is in fact burning.
What kind of motherboard and chipset are you using? You need to make sure that the system is recognising the drive correctly and that the correct drivers are loaded.
What IDE drivers are you using, manufacturer's or Windows?
