LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 It means your drive doesn't like the media you're trying to make it burn to. If the other supported write speeds don't work either, buy different (better) discs. Cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc may also help.

spud Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 ok thanks for years ive used the same dvds maxell so dont why its started doing it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The brand you're using doesn't really mean anything, it's the MID/dye of the discs that's important and yours is 'RITEKF1'. Ritek are cheapie low quality ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
