LIGHTNING UK!

I don't have one without you providing more info, no. What file were you trying to burn? Imgburn doesn't convert anything so unless your player plays those types of files, it isn't going to work. Post the log please so I can see that it burnt and verified ok.

Your drive is reporting a 'write error' first, so it doesn't like the discs you're trying to use. Get some different ones.

You need to post the log.

If it's worked before with those same discs, just try another one. Personally, I'd stop buying the Ritek discs and get some decent verbatim ones using the mkm-003-00 mid/dye.

'Physical format information - last recorded' is the one to look at, and that says 'book type: dvdrom'.

Yes, buying decent discs would undoubtedly help.

Probably, yes. Btw, don't trim the log. We need all of it.

No, that's how it's being reported to the program. Windows does it like that on purpose.

Your cue file is using a *.wv file for the audio and as such, you need a directshow filter installed on your PC that can handle decoding wv files. The 2nd post in the audio cd guide contains links to such filters. Once the wv one has been installed correctly, directshow will be able to be used to decode it and ImgBurn will work fine.

Open the cue file in notepad and copy + paste its contents here please.

You're obviously dealing with audio cd images here. What type of files make up those images? You can find links to the right DirectShow filters for a given file type in the audio cd guide in the Guides section of this forum.

Formatting a disc properly takes time and the program is doing what it's supposed to based on what your drive is reporting.

Yes

It's a fall back message if all drives return 'access denied'.

Something else you've got installed on your machine is probably messing things up. What's in your filter driver list? Use the feature in the Tools menu to find out. Copy the info to the clipboard and then paste it here please.

It makes several... depending on the options you select during installation. There should be an ImgBurn program group in the start menu, a desktop icon and a quick launch icon. If you aren't getting them, you probably aren't using the proper installer. It should be called 'SetupImgBurn_2.5.8.0.exe' and the MD5 should match the one written on the Download page of the website.

Windows messages don't really concern me, please just load ImgBurn, switch to write mode and then put your blank disc in the drive. Your drive shouldn't be any more or less able to read/write discs in safe mode. It's just the loading of drivers that changes in safe mode.

What, ImgBurn says that? It doesn't sound like an ImgBurn message.

Can you post the family tree info again please. Also, don't forget to try in safe mode. It might also be worth going into your BIOS and seeing if it works when the controller is set to IDE mode.

It only goes back 5000 lines iirc. If you burn loads, that limit will quickly be reached and old entries will be removed. If you uninstall the program, the log gets deleted.

It's certainly worth a try. If that fails, boot up in safe mode and see if you get the same errors.

You can't fix what a drive doesn't support in the first place... and that's my stand on this matter until I see otherwise (by means of a log, screenshots etc.). You haven't posted a log so I can't make any suggestions on burning it some other way.

I've never seen them work on anything other than LiteOn and Asus drives.

That's 10.8.
