Re: (flashed WH16NS60) won't read BD-RE?

the media is Maxell ReWritable BD-RE (25GB Single Layer , speed 1x-2x), brandnew.

(under windows) IT WOULD take a very long time (minutes) to eject disc, which is certainly not normal behaviour.

the drive originally is probably a WH16NS55,

thanks.

hello ,

this has probably been asked already,
