spinningwheel Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I 11:57:18 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RICOHJPN-D01-67) (Speeds: 4x)I 11:57:18 Write Speed: 2x Your choice of media would be my starting point. Get some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim - made in Singapore only - and try again. Your log shows that the drive sees the media at 4x, but it burns at 2x, which is not a choice available for the drive, so I would also look for a firmware update for that drive also. After changing media and updating to a later firmware the problems should go away. If not let us know and post another log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontasciime Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 As Spinningwheel said. Your choice of blanks is very very poor. Those disc's you will be lucky to get to write and if you do manage to get 1 to write the chances are the write quality will be poor so poor that your 360 ROM drive will DDE. Get some Verbatim MKM-001-00 Made in Singapore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I found this one use at your own risk http://rapidshare.com/files/118007355/LG2166_102.rar Make sure no disc is in and that tray is closed. Do not power off or open drive until it says finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
