I tried to burn v17.1 using a different pc and this time i did see the write speeds however set to the lowest however the cd still failed 'on verify'.

what was interesting was that i noticed that it was imgburn reported mode 2/form 1 before burning but after burning it was mode 2/form 2.

I have spent a long time reading various posts on this site and bimmerboard.

The v17 (for that matter v18-v22) image is proving difficult to get hold of.

This post have caught my attention ttp://www.xoutpost.com/navigation-system/24896-mk3-dead-help-please.html?highlight=dead because it refers to the same issue in terms of imgburn changing to mode 2/form 2; reference to post 30 which might be my problem?

KiwiJochen you said in post 14 you had a mode2cdmaker.exe do you still have it and this might allow a correct image file to be generated

If anyone has upgraded a mkiii up to v22 recently (and then to the final update level of sw3 1/63) and could share their experience i would most appreciate hearing from you.

Any heads up on links to get image files would be great also.
