And I thought I'd have to buy a new drive...

Tried burning some episodes of 24 to a DVD today. So I crack open some Imation DVD-R disks, and start to burn. Or rather NOT burn. I figured it must be a bum disc, so I popped another one in. Again, it wouldn't burn. Now I start to get worried. Well to make a long story short - I flashed my BIOS with an update, and also flashed the DVD drive with a Firmware update, and I've decided - Imation makes crap discs. My other discs work like a charm. Oh well. Live and learn :)
