Yea, that's my drive. Firmware is at version 2.24. I removed all my burning
software and still no luck. It just seemed to work one day and then not the
next, it's not a hardware thing because it's done it before and I "fixed" it
by restoring the system. Seems to be quite a common problem but people are
just being told to buy another drive.
