Einstain9, thx for the reply m8.

Ive just restarted the service and that did not work, yes it is running.
Another blank CD ive tried too (its not been working for quite some time I recall)
I just updated my FW with the same version I already had, the latest one from the official website.
Im trying to fix this recorder as I have no other at my disposal at this moment :=(

Any other ideas?
