Burning an ISO image but my Xbox says it's empty

[Farfield]

Hello, I've used Imgburn sometimes over the years and never got any problem until now, I've lost three cds because the writing doesn't seem to work. I've used different speeds, but the last one, which log I'm gonna post now, was at 2x speed. I'm using Sony DVD-R cds of 4.7 GB, which have been using over the years. Here's the log:

Your drive hasn't burnt that properly. Try some other discs.

 

Always using Sony doesn't meant anything. It's the MID/Disc ID that's important and your drive doesn't appear to like the Ritek ones you're using.

[dbminter]

You said you've been using Sony for years, so apparently you had no problem before?  Even though they're Ritek, Sony has been using Ritek on their DVD-R's (NOT CD's.  ) for as long as I can remember.  So, it doesn't seem Sony changed manufacturers.  That can't be your issue.

 

 

If you've been using Sony DVD-R for years, does that mean you've actually been using that same DRIVE for years?  If so, then your drive probably definitely needs replacing.  Optical drives aren't generally meant to last for years.  The longest I've had lasting, and it still works, is 2 years old.  And that's twice as long as I usually get out of a drive.

 

 

If this is a new drive you're using that you haven't used before, then it could definitely be a case of your drive not liking Ritek media. 

 

 

About the only way you can tell, especially if it's the drive that needs replacing is to try another maker of discs.  Try to get your hands on some Verbatim DataLife Plus DVD-R.  At least in the United States from Amazon.com, Verbatim DVD-R is MKM, made by Mitsubishi, probably the best manufacturer out there now that Taiyo Yuden has ceased production.

Actually I've been using the same DVD package for years, because I got a whole bunch of them years ago and I still got like thirty left. And now that I remember, I did had an issue like this years ago but since I only got like five bad burns and then everything was fine I never payed much attention to it.

 

The drive has been the same all this years, it's from my Vaio laptop. I didn't know drivers didn't last long, it's probably that what's making the problem, since I don't use it very often. I'll still get myself a Verbatim disc and I'll make the test, in any case I'll burn my ISO in another computer by the time being so I can get my hands on the game.  

 

Thank you a lot for your answers, I'll reply when I make the test just so if anyone comes with the same problem they can know what happened to me.

Don't get the Verbatim DVD-R you find in brick and mortar stores.  They'll be the Life series, made by CMC, the worst manufacturer of optical media out there.  CMC causes well over 50% of the problems we see on this board.  You'll want the Verbatim DataLife Plus MKM/MCC media you can only find online.

 

 

It is somewhat odd you had this issue at first, it went away, and then came back.  You probably just lucked out in that your drive is iffy with that media.  However, you seem to indicate you've been using this drive for a long time.  Seems like years?  I would be willing to be bet it's, most likely, just a case of a drive that's given up the ghost.     However, it does seem equally odd that you haven't gone through 1 complete set of discs yet before it dies.

Yeah I had a whole bunch of Sony discs and I never used them, mostly because I never got much use for them, now I want to play again with my old modded Xbox but it has no memory so I only can burn discs, which I've been doing over the years but mostly like 1-2 per year. I've had this laptop... I think it's safe to say over five years now. I'll make another run just in case I got with luck, because I really don't like to trouble and buy and wait for Amazon to send me the disc, since I can just go with another computer and just burn it. I'll let you know and post the log just in case anything happens.
