I was getting errors with my liteon. After I put it on a primary channel all buy itself the errors were gone. It just didnt like living as a slave to a F1

I've burnt a few cds so far, one at 48x (the one in the pack as my 100 pack of 48x arent here yet ) and the rest at 32x.

The CD burnt at 48x (the LiteOn branded one) has 1 confirmed damaged block/bit/yellow square both by the LiteOn itself and my Toshiba DVD drive. No errors though.

I'm also beginning to think that Nero CD speed scandisk is a bit flakey as it occasionally on a whim makes up some damaged sectors yet then refuses to find them again on subsequent runs.

All CD-Rs burned at 32x had such a small occurance of errors that it is of no consequence (1 damaged (yellow bits) in 10 CDs, hard to reproduce)as these were cheap 15p ($0.20) each Precision (made by Ritek) CD-Rs and I wasnt expecting them to be the best ever. No errors were ever reported.

The drive came with firmware VS06 btw, so they might have fixed the problems on later drives.

I have the LiteOn as secondary master and the Toshiba as Secondary slave (both with DMA mode 1 (33MB/S) enabled) with a Western Digital 7200rpm 30GB on the primary master running on an Athlon 800 with 256MB running Win98 1st edition

Hi Guys. Try using nero drive speed to set the Liteon to only read @40X then recheck your "allegedely" errant disks. When I did this I found only 1 of 12 supposed dammaged disks actually had any errors :)

Hope you find this useful
