I have a US/C NTSC 30001-R v5 No-Solder, and it won't boot CD-R backups that are over 640 MB. And I've read that the type of media you use can make a difference, of course others say it's not true, but... I have successfully made DVD-R backups using Verbatim & TDK DVD-R's, no such luck with Memorex or Vivistar DVD-R's though. Same goes for CD-R backups, Verbatim CD-R's worked but I tried with TDK, Memorex, Sony, Imation, and PNY and all failed. So, make sure you use the right type of disc. Also, try using Prassi PrimoDVD found here:
