I had exactly the same problem with a DVD burner a few years ago. It
turned out that it did not support the media I was using; a firmware
update fixed this.

The only problem I had was that the firmware update tool did not work
in DOS, so I had to take the drive and the disk with the new firmware
to the store where I had bought it to let them update it on their
Windows machine.

Udo
