I just used the S203B patch and chose the DVD ROM option etc… and it still shows DVD + R on the booktype when I check it with CD/DVD Speed ? Why isn’t it burning as a CD ROM book type? did I miss something ?
I even tried auto change booktype in IMGburn on and off with no difference.

CD ROM booktype does not exist.

I meant DVD ROM
Is this on a burnt disc?
Yes it is on a burnt disc 
Hmmm 
works nice here with my 203B (stock SB04). Maybe a Sata controller issue?
There are reports that bitsetting did not work if the drive was connected to a Via Sata controller (see FAQ). Maybe this issue is also present with other Sata controllers (Jmicron?).

Verrrry interesting
will have to check that out
Put the +R disc in ImgBurn, then copy & paste all the info in the right hand window into a reply post here.
K in ImgBurn it is recognised as a DVD ROM booktype … so the patch took OK… just Nero CD DVD speed is reading it wrong I guess?
