my burner is an optorite CW4801 190E (when i go the the optorite site and try to d/l the latest firmware which is 210 E it wont let me flash my drive) I've been having so many prolems with this burner constantly freezing up and wasting tons of CD's that I think I'll get the Asus CRW-5232AS burner. I'll try burning my bin's with alcohol one more time... (any specific options I should have checked off?) and get back here with the results.
I also used nero to copy a bin file from my hard drive to a blank cd and the process failed at like 97%
