blasted Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Right i have a 360 image and i want to get it onto a dual layer disc. I have read umpteen guides and was assured that imgburn would be the best programme for this. So i downloaded imgburn from one of the usual sites. I have a nec 3500a dvd burner and have updated it to the latest liggy firmware. I followed the guide for img burn and have so far failed on five occasions. The first three were burnt to non branded d/l dvds although i was assured they have worked for others. Then i used 2 verbatum dvd-r +, both these failed at the layer break. I set the layer break manually at the correct figure for 360 backups. I dont have the log files. But at first it failed due to power calibartion issues and the second time it was a write error. I cant afford to keep splashing out on dual layer discs, please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 If you're already using MKM-001 discs, stop wasting any more and just buy a new drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Put it in the drive and look in the little info panel on the right of imgburn's main window. Copy + paste all that info if you're not sure what you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blasted Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Been out and bought the Pioneer 112, proceeded to burn back up on a chepo disc first, just to test. Went straight through, no problems. I still have to test it out though. Thanks chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
