Not sure on this,but sometimes software does not use all capabilities of a drive.This could be the case here.Maybe a software upgrade will correct the problem.I have seen this issue before.Clone cd did not support certain types of buffer-underrun protection.It was fixed in later software versions.
NTI & LG GCE-8160B
Tribal:
Don't worry that your LG GCE-8160B burner is recognized by the BIOS as an HT-DT-LT GCE-8160B. Doesn't mean anything, as I understand it. LG is related to GoldStar which is related to Hitachi, or whatever, so that's why the ID is weird.
I am having the same trouble with NTI software. I am using the 5.1.9 trial. Also upgraded my firmware to 2.01. Same result as you. NTI 5.1.9 doesn't recognize my drive as supporting buffer underrun protection, CD-text, or overburning. By contrast, Nero5580 DOES recognize that my GCE-8160B supports all three.
Nevertheless, I have an additional problem I don't see you mentioning. If I am using 8x speed media, and I set NTI to burn at 8x, NTI burns the CDR at 16x. Do you have the same problem? Play around with recording sppeds to see what you get. You can e m a i l me at: s l m 9 1 7 8 6 AT l i n k l i n e . c o m. Remove the spaces and change "AT" to the "at" symbol.

Ooops!
Tribal,
I forgot to mention that I am in contact with NTI tech support to resolve both issues (buffer underrun protection non-recognition and inability to set specific recording speeds). The tech guy told me that they would test that LG drive against NTI 5.1.9 and see what happens.
I hope they fix it soon, because I like my LG drive. LG is an actual manufacturer of drives, not a repackager like everybody else, and I'd rather have a drive that's not just a drive with somebody else's label.
