This may already have been discussed in this forum, but with all of the posts, it makes it difficult to find answers when doing a search. My problem is, I can't burn any image, with any program on any media. I have tried it all. The burn begins and then hangs on writing lead-in. Then I have to restart to get the disc out of the drive. And the laser never even starts. Can some one help? Thanks.
📎 AI Summary:
The user "Sharkbox" reports a recurring issue with burning disc images, where the process hangs and prevents the laser from starting. Despite attempts with various programs, including Windows 7's built-in image burner, the problem persisted until they reverted their drive's firmware to an older version, which resolved the issue. The overall sentiment indicates frustration initially, but relief after identifying and fixing the firmware incompatibility.

If you're going to burn a disk image, why not use Windows 7's built in image burner?
If I'm not mistaken, you can right click an image, and choose to open it with Windows Image Burner, or something similar to that in the "Open With" menu. I've burned many disk images like this in the past, and it works like a charm.

I figured it out. Had to revert to an older firmware for my drive. Windows 7 automatically installed the most recent firmware, others have also been having trouble with the latest firmware version. Burning like a Champ now!
