CD 1986, thx for the info. Actually i had tried a different version was 5.0.x i think, before with my plex 20/10/40a, was gettin same thing. Then when i bought my premium, tried newer version, reformatted my HDD, and still same thing! Different version, different burner, newly formatted HDD, so what can i do? I also tried uninstalling my mcafee, went to control panel and services, and stopped EVERY one that would let me ( i use win2k as u can tell from the logs). This is also with no other applications running, and no other burn apps even installed
Like i said, it works w/ the alcohol and bw combo except for the SAO writing thing.
Can anyone help me with this AND the other questions i have??

I been lookin on forums for hours and hours, narrowing searches with AND, and everything. Please i need info, FFEEEEDD mee!!!!

I will luv u and have hot women feed u grapes and fan u, and be ur slaves! lol

no offense to any women, im j/k u know
lil update-i tried disconnecting my other drives to make sure there was no conflict, no luck. BTW after the extraction fails and im back to the bw main screen, it says "no media inserted" until i restart bw and eject/reinsert the CD.
