You might want to check and see if the firmware on the burner is flashed to
the latest revision. (1.36)  You can get the update at:

I don't understand the part about leaving rings in between where it didn't
burn??  One thing that you might want to do is to get the latest update to
Nero (4.0.7.5) from www.ahead.de and install it. The wizards that are in the
latest version might get you on the right track.

Are you saying that Prassi doesn't recognise the  RW disc that you have
formatted for packet writing?  I never had much luck using Prassi,
personally. That's one buggy program, but the firmware update mentioned
above will help a little with it, if I remember correctly.    I highly
recommend burning files to a RW disc using multiple sessions (being sure not
to close the disc) instead of packet writing. I've always had real good luck
doing that.

HTH,
