Narrative:
Aborted takeoff at low speed due to gen drive light. Second attempt was made; gen drive light came on again at low speed. Both aborts were started between 80-85 KTS. Taxied back to the gate; approaching the gate notified maintenance of a possible nose tire deflated. I was directed by them to continue to the gate. The #3 and #4 tires deflated. When I began the aborts rejected takeoff never engaged; I used most of the runway to stop so the brakes would not heat up; but they did. I feel everything was done according to company procedures.
