Just to let you know your not alone . I just bought the ide version and have the same problem . what software are you using ? Nero 7 has a known issue with that burner . Funny thing is thats the software it ships with . But nero6 works fine ... Go figure . Try different software would be my advice .

It happens at times to any company's hardware. I've been using three ASUS 2014LT1 burners in two computers for over a year now without any problems. But sometimes a piece of hardware dies without apparent reason. You might try to RMA the drive. I had tried a Sony and a Samsung earlier, but the Sony wasn't recognized at all by the OS and the Samsung would play a DVD, but not record anything, so it went back. That's went I bought the first ASUS drive. It worked, so I bought more and they work, so I'm happy.

i wouldnt buy anything from asus now, they lie. read the asus vs. gigabyte ordeal over asus' fake specs. maybe a lawsuit going too.

Never liked the looks of labels made with lightscribe anyway. I use printable CD's & DVD's then just download the original disk label off the web at CDCovers.com and print the label directly to the disk in my Epson printer.

I can't lightscribe with my DRW-1814BLT (Vista Ultimate x64). Nero 8 says no lightscribe-capable drives. The 1814BLT is installed as a legacy CD-drive, though in device manager the model is written. When i try to update online, it sais the latest driver is already installed. Where do I get the proper driver or any other ways to fix the problem?
