I agree also, if you look in our LiteOn forum there are several accounts of A1x drives reporting +R as +RW.

So my vote is for the drive having a problem (based on those other accounts), and I'd either RMA it for replacement or buy a new drive.

And...can we all calm down and get back to the topic?! There's no need for name-calling.

Edit: Found a couple of threads mentioning the +RW problem, there are more: http://club.cdfreaks.com/f44/problem...vd-rom-238792/
