I have been having problems with burning CD-Rs (Maxell, no slouch brand).

At first I was doing it through WinExplorer. Then I tried Nero 6.

Nero 6 has a FAQ that states that the user should make sure that firmware
is updated for the particular drive.

So I open Device Manager, and I find that there are THREE DVD/CDROM
"devices" even though I think there is only one.

They are:

PW2394N SKE841D SCSI CdRom Device
QK3406U SGZ561J SCSI CdRom Device
TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2512

I actually download something from the Toshiba USA website that purports to
be a firmware update for the SD-R2512, then it tells me it cannot find the
target drive.

I don't even know how to update the other "CdRom Devices."

I know one thing: I am tired of WinExplorer and Nero burning nothing on
CD-Rs and making them unwritable thereafter.

What is the matter here?
