to elimate software issues, boot into safemode and try, also you can try unistalling everything under ata/atapi controllers in device manager and then restart pc

The only firmware is from the links below, but alot of them are dead, the only other is an RPC1 of what you have now, firmware cannot fix problemd with hardware or software issues

All the links for this drive were fixed a few days ago.
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1694

Check out the extra links I've added.

BTW, which exact media have you used?
Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x?

quite true, but as a team here, communication is important, sometimes we haven't the time to check everything

Then cleaning the drive is your only hope.

Found this on a different website

Quote:

Blast the optics with canned air, then continue on to the blast the rest of the DVD chassis trying to blow the remainder of the dust away from the optics. Using a Q-tip, clean the mirror and the lens with a high quality lens cleaner. I like to use anti static lens cleaner but any glass cleaner should work, I have even heard of plain alcohol being used. The goal is to leave a streak free finish and use one end of the wetted Q-tip to clean an the other to dry. BE CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH THE MIRROR
