LIGHTNING UK!

Any SATA drive will work with the 760 desktop case, it's a standard drive. The only thing you might need are special screws or something due to the quick release mechanisms the Dell cases use. Personally, I'd probably back up to an external hdd using something like Acronis True Image.

Post the log please.

I'm sure you can find one on eBay or amazon. Disc wise, I recommend Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.

Even if those ritek discs have worked before, you should try some different (better) ones. Before doing that though, try the other supported write speeds. Your drive may do a better job of burning them at one of the other speeds. You may also like to try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc.

Your system is hanging, not the program. The drive does the format, ImgBurn just polls it every second to see if it's finished and get the %complete value. The same is true for the sync cache part. Drives don't like being on controllers in RAID mode. Which controller is your drive attached to? (Which chipset?) Undated drivers may fix your problems. The forum logs in automatically for me. Has done for the past 8 or however many years.

Oops, I forgot that stage! Extract the boot image from the virtual drive too and add it back in again

Mount the ISO, drag the files from the virtual drive into advanced input mode within build mode, swap out the files you want to replace and then have it build the new image.

Burn at 4x, not max... Which seems to be 10x for that drive.

Not easily, no.

Read only can't be represented (all files on a disc will be read only) archive is used by backup programs for incremental backups (they backup files with the archive bit set and then clear the bit). It'll preserve the system and hidden ones where possible though.

Any verbatim MKM-003-00 discs will be better than the majority of other stuff you can buy. The made in UAE ones are probably the ones to go for now.

If all of the files are present on the usb stick, follow the guide on burning an OS installation disc.

I guess your playback device is having trouble reading them. Try cleaning it with a cleaning disc. Read the pinned topic on burning DL discs too. You should be using Verbatim MKM-003-00 media, not the rubbish CMC stuff that various companies stamp their name on.

Pregaps are digital silence, they shouldn't cause a click. It must be something else with the actual tracks... Incomplete samples perhaps. You'd have to read around and find what can cause a player to 'click'.

It has nothing to do with ImgBurn, it's just what's decent media and what drives like burning to. Please read the pinned topic at the top of this forum.

As per the pinned thread on burning DL discs, we only recommend verbatim discs with the MKM-001-00 and MKM-003-00 dye/MID. Anything else is very hit and miss.

Yes, it works fine. Post the log any maybe we'll be able to tell you where you're going wrong. It's probably your choice of media or your drive.

You've never opened the ISO, it's the .DVD file that you open in notepad. Of course you aren't meant to be doing that at all. When left on 'calculate optimal', the program reads the value from the dvd file itself and uses it. You aren't meant to mess with anything manually.

Can you upload the cue file please?

Yes, that's it, thanks. I'm not really sure what's gone on there. I'll have to check a few things when I have access to my development pc (next week).

You need to use a double layer disc for that image, not a single layer one as you're trying to use now.

Go into read mode and copy + paste all of thee info from the box on the right when that disc is in the drive please.

Test mode doesn't often work for anything other than CDs and dvd-R media. Drives usually ignore the flag to use test mode and end up actually writing to the disc. I can't look at the graph at the moment but will as soon as I can (next week).

If the program is saying it can't find any devices then the issue is probably with the OS itself. Look in device manager and see if your optical drive has a yellow exclamation mark next to it - or if it isn't listed at all. Google for Microsoft's' cd/dvd fix it' utility and run it. That resolves lots of issues like this.

What OS are you running? Does it complete the scan if you don't have the external drive plugged in? Microsoft have a tool for repairing common optical drive related problems. Just google 'Microsoft cd fixit' and you'll find it. Give that a try and come back to us if it doesn't fix it. You must have a driver or something installed on your system that's messing things up.
