ataylor Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) OK, after the advice given in the last thread, I bought some Verbatim's 16x DVD-Rs, and tried them out. I keep on getting write errors at different stages of the burn (3%, 80% etc). I have tried 3 Verbatim discs and 1 TDK. I have tried two different images, same error. I tried another type of media (TDK), same error. Firmware is up to date (I think.. Dell's site isn't amazingly accessible). Drive details + log below. btw: DeepBurner worked fine before with the TDK media. Only been having this problem with ImgBurn. DeepBurner only ever reached 2x though, and even though the burns completed, there were obviously some issues with them (a fair few of the files on the discs were corrupted) Drive: SONY DVD+-RW DW-Q58A UDS2 (ATA) The computer is a laptop: Dell Inspiron 1300. A log of one of the failed writes (to Verbatim media): I 22:14:53 Operation Started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Try switching the 'Write Type' in the settings (on the Write tab) to Incremental. 'Command Sequence Error' is totally bogus IMO. The 'sequence' was ok for the previous 788384 sectors, why's it suddenly wrong now?! lol Silly drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It's probably burning the entire disc (with zeroes or something) at the 'close track' bit - as the track would have been reserved and it'll be wondering why nothing has been burnt to it. Get yourself an external drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ataylor Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) So there is no way of solving this? The laptop is only a year old... The reason I mentioned DeepBurner above was because I thought the program itself was burning correctly, but the TDK media was what corrupted files. Edit: It gets stranger. Tried to burn the .iso to a Verbatim using DeepBurner and it completed the burn (at 2x though). Then I verified it through ImgBurn, and it came back succesful. Was able to load the disc and files on it fine on the Dell, but when trying to load it on an IBM ThinkPad with Linux installed, it just refused to read it.

ataylor Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Anyone? I will buy an external burner if I really have to, but I'd rather see if anyone has any suggestions about fixing this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Try a lens cleaner look for a firmware update, buy an new internal laptop drive (they are poor) or buy an external See manufacturer and tell them drive is fooked and you expected to be able to burn more than 20 disc's b4 it broke. Go back to shop you bought laptop from and complain about shoddy goods. Also look for some older 8x media and try with those , by that I mean some decent media.
