If anyone remembers my dilema....if not...
1.08: When using Memorex Black 48x CD-Rs (CMC):
1.) the drive saw the discs as 32x - :sad:
2.) wrote them as Z-CLV - :sad:
3.) failed burning at 80% - :sad:
1.17: Now:
1.) the drive sees the discs as 40X - :bigsmile:
2.) Burns them as CAV - :bigsmile:
3.) STILL fails at 80% - :sad:
The drive works fine with 52X Verbatem (ritek) discs, burning them at 40X with 100% success rate.
