I Posted several days ago asking for help on the img burn forums, and I thought I'd post help here too, seeing how no one responded :/.
Here's what I had in my post

Today I got in some x8 dual layer dvds today that I ordered. When I put the discs in the drive, they'd spin for a while and then imgburn would just give me "Device Not Ready (No Reference Position Found)". Of course, the first thing I thought was "my drive must not support x8 dvd's", but when I looked online it said my drive does support x8 dual layer DVD's. This is the first time I've had problems burning anything, regardless of the media type, but then again this is the first time that I've used x8 dual layers (I've used x2.4 previously). After surfing some forums I came to the conclusion that maybe it had to do with my firmware not being able to recognize the discs. So I crossflashed my HP 1040d to the lite-on LH-201H LL0D. Even after flashing my drive, it still gives me errors. While surfing the forums, I noticed that some were complaining about bad batches of Verbatim dual layer DVD's, could this be the case, and where can I find where they are made on the packaging?
So I was wondering, does anyone know of some modified firmware or something to make my drive actually read these dvd's?
