Erasing 80min CDRW media - Club CDFreaks

cowpie · 04-09-2002

Has anyone had any trouble with the LiteOn 40x12x48x (LTR-40125S, firmware ZS0N) erasing 80min CDRW media? I can't erase my Memorex cds in Nero. Though I haven't tried any other 80min CDRWs because I've never seen any other brand in any store.

I'm also running WinME though I doubt that''s the problem.

hmmm..

normally it works for me

did yo used all options??

is it just 1 cdrw??

I've tried all the variations of erasing options and still it fails. The problem is only with 80min Memorex CDRW media but 74min of other brands works okay. If I could find other brands of 80min media I'd try it but I've never seen any other brands.

Thanks.

did you try to do a full erase at a low speed.

pehaps it is just the MEmorex disk, try an other brand instead

Well now I've tried it at 2x and still nothing. I brought up the whole issue because a friend of mine can erase the same 80min Memorex CDRWs (from the same box as mine) without problem on his Mitsumi burner and we've tried the entire box.

At this point I'm thinking maybe the LiteOn just doesn't recognize this brand and media and would require a firmware update, but considering that the drive has been out for a while and several firmware updates have already been released to recognize more media, I'm surprised this one still doesn't work.
