GCE-8320B problem with 800MB cd

I recently bought an LG GCE-8320B 32x10x40 CD-RW drive and now I'm having problems with burning a 800MB cd. LG reads all 800MB cd's as a 700mb. Is it hardware problem? I'm working with Nero v.5.5.9.0, WinOnCD v.5.0 Power Edition and CD-RW recorder firmware v1.04.

Regards

Keep in mind that 800MB discs will not always work. In fact, they are not officially supported by the drive manufacturers. I have read reports of 800MB discs writing at full capacity in the LG GCE-8320B, but this is not the case for every 800MB disc.

My advice: upgrade to the latest version of Nero, 5.5.10.7, and if that doesn't work then try another brand of 800MB disc or forget the entire experiment and chalk it up to incompatibility.
