jachis08 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I just got a bunch of dual layer discs. I'm getting the Disc Not Empty message though the disc is new. I've tried with many of the discs. Here's what I get in the box on the right : HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H20N 1.01 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+RW Disc Information: Status: Unknown State of Last Session: Unknown Erasable: Unknown Formatted: Unknown Sessions: Unknown Sectors: 16,384,000 Size: 33,554,432,000 bytes Time: 3640:55:25 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x TOC Information: Session 1...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Assuming the drive can still see other discs correctly, it must just not like those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jachis08 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks for the quick reply. No it didn't work with any disc previously. Actually this is the first time I use dual layer discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Ok but can it still see other discs ok? Original CD / DVDs? Ones you've burnt in the past (single layer I guess) ? Other blank single layer discs? If it's reporting garbage like that for all discs, you have to assume the drive is faulty. If it's only reporting garbage for the double layer discs you've just purchased, it must be that the drive's firmware doesn't support them. Buy some others and hope it likes those.
