Yes, I suppose any kind of memory can get corrupted, though ROM (well, EEPROM) would be much less susceptible than RAM. The bigger question is why are you burning so many different types of DVDs? I burn several per week and all of them are UDF, no multisession, DVD-R, which the company buys in

It's always possible that some software upgrade broke something. If it was an MS patch that broke it, the drive manufacturer may have decided the easier route to the fix was to change the firmware of his product. I've had a lot of things get flaky at some point in time, and have often

Probably just a hardware failure then. Maybe intermittent; a dust mote on the laser, or a crack on the circuit board. May come back soon, may not. I personally doubt the firmware upgrade was responsible for 'fixing' the drive. Again, you've gone to much more effort than I would have. I'd be more
