    I keep getting this error whenever i wanted to burn an image :(.

    I've googled it and a few suggested
    1st - Change the DVD-burner
    2nd - Change the image cds to better brand
    3rd - Update the DVD-burner firmware

    Now...... before i do the 1st, i wanted to really make sure that it is the problem.
    As for the 2nd, i tried different brands but still the same result
    As for the 3rd, where can i download the driver update? I googled it but found some garbage websites -_-.

    I don't really know the model of the DVD-burner brand
    but if i go to system information, it says
    ATAPI DVD A DH16A3S download drivers

    From the program ImgBurner, it says that my DVD is
    ATAPI DVD A DH16A3S 3A12 (ATAPI)

    Can anyone help me?

    You need to try a different burning program first.

    Try deleting upper and lower filters:
    open the Windows Registry and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}. . Delete the keys named UpperFilters and LowerFilters and reboot

    If it's a no go, reinstall all cd writing software and/or cd/dvd drivers.

    i think so... the model number reminded me of lite on so i searched on their site.

    googling i found this which tells me that flashing the one from before might be a little complicated even if it is the same model..
