Can someone please help me, my burner is not writing to +R media it has been working great
with -R media for years, never tried -R till now. I am using the LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P6S. I
tried writing to +R Maxell which I use in -R all the time, I also tried the horrible Memorex -R. I
have tried using Nero 9 Reloaded as well as image burn, both have failed. I have the updated
firmware installed from this location
