The Read/Write Bad Medium Detected is a buffer underun, which means that the computer isn't getting the data to the drive fast enough. With a USB drive, this is the probelm, the USB 1.1, which that drive is, will use alot of processor power, which takes away from what you have to use for the writing process.

You might beable to put a USB 2.0 card in the system, but it may not help on this old burner. Your best bet is to still go to a new Plextor Drive.

All of the Hp drives at times will give you the broken graphics and there is nothing that can be done about this.
