I had the same problem with my TDK 48X drive ; try using Imation or Verbatim 48X disks , seems the TDK does not like some brands of CD media .

Try getting a firmware update to get more compatability.

i've searched for a new firmware

i found a firmware that can make my tdk 48x 4800D work in 52x

an unofficial version(?) cuz i cant found it at www.tdk.com

http://www.hardwarezoom.com/drivers/tdk/CDRW4800D_2T02.exe

What will happen if i fail to upgrade my firmware? can i fix it ?

can i back up my current firmware before i upgrade my firmware to that firmware?

thanx

Well it must be offical if its on the TDK website....

If it fails, your CD-ROM will stop working....

Yes i think it is possible to back up your firmware just incase it does fail.....

You will have to search around for a program to back up it...
