toyoda Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I am trying to create a disk image of a DVD-R backup of a HDD. The HDD backup DVD-R was created using a Linux based backup program. I have had success using IMGBurn to create a disk image of a backup like this before. Any ideas? Is it a bad sector on the original HDD? DVD-R disk is Memorex DVD burner is Sony. --- Here's the error log: I 15:27:33 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

Can you give some detail as to what the error log is reporting? Thanks, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 W 15:29:35 Failed to Read Sector 339552 - Reason: L-EC Uncorrectable Error It's reporting that. Your drive can't read the sector mentioned and the reason for it (according to the drive itself) is 'L-EC Uncorrectable Error'. You can Google 'L-EC Uncorrectable Error' if you want to know all the details. If the disc is clean and free from scratches, it'll be failing because it was a bad burn or the media is just rubbish.
