LIGHTNING UK!

I haven't got a clue! If you can run Windows on it or a version of Linux that supports 'wine'... maybe.

You clicked on an advert that downloaded SmartTweak's 'Speed Up My Computer' program. I just ran the file through VirusTotal... it came with a 0/48 detection rate - i.e. *nothing* flagged it. https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/01783b290781431a51e658fe2619bb714b534a12916de02a967719cf565b4480/analysis/1380024580/ So what's warning you about something 48 other AV products aren't seeing?! Oh and obviously ImgBurn doesn't contain any malicious code.

Oh, in that case I have no idea. It must be some sort of routing issue between you and the server.

The various 'erase/format' related options are in the Settings on the Write tab. There's a newer version of ImgBurn btw.

Are you getting a message saying you aren't welcome? It's hard to know what to look into if I don't have any info.

If it burnt at 0.9x, you must have formatted it with spare areas enabled, which in turn enabled hardware defect management. When that's enabled, you really shouldn't be having problems reading the disc (i.e. during the verify phase) as the drive's write process is supposed to ensure sectors are readable and remap them if they aren't. I'll await your log...

If the drive supports you messing around with the eeprom settings (as a normal LiteOn or ASUS drive would do), you might be ok. If the drive doesn't support you doing that stuff, you've probably wasted your money on it. Send it back and get a LiteOn?

I doubt that drive can overburn nicely... but of course it stands more of a chance of being able to if you're using Verbatim MKM-003-00 discs.

Reading / verifying / copying are all the same thing. All it's doing is trying to read each sector on the disc - which your drive is unable to do. If the blank discs are ok, maybe the drive is faulty? Your issue has nothing to do with SATA2 or 3. They're backwards compatible anyway.

Can you provide a video or something showing me exactly how to reproduce it? I've tried dropping it down and inserting a disc into the already selected drive - no problem. I've tried dropping it down and inserting a disc into a different drive - no problem. I've tried dropping it down and inserting a disc into the drive I'm changing to - no problem. So it must be more complicated or timing related and I could be there all day trying to reproduce it - which I'm not prepared to do.

The 'Invalid Floating Point Operation' error is caused by a bug in the compiler and it isn't something I can fix without upgrading my version of the development environment to a version that's fixed it. I've never run into it personally. I get bug reports sent to me on a daily basis for the same problem at the exact same line in the code - you're the first person I've told to turn 'Capture Graph Data' off (thus getting passed the line it normally crashes at), but it appears that it then just crashes somewhere else. So at this point, I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do for you.

It has never worked like that. The layer break position you select changes the values shown on that screen.

Try installing the v10.8 Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers instead. SP1 for Windows 7 has been out for ages... install that too.

I'm not sure I see the problem here? It's asking you to pick a layer break position as part of the 'calculate' process. If you cancel out of it, those fields stay as 'Unknown'. Please refer to one of the double layer DVD video guides if you don't know what you're doing.

Moan? I just pointed you to the 'sticky' / 'pinned' thread.

The burner. The new drive you purchased might (should) have been ok with decent Verbatim MKM-003-00 media, I can't say for sure that your ageing Sony burner will be. Low quality discs will always be low quality, no matter if you use an old drive or a new one.

You're probably in 'Write' mode... which will be expecting a disc image file. Use 'Build' mode - 'Write files/folders to disc'. If you're already in 'Build' mode, you must be using the wrong button/dialog box (one shows folders, the other shows files). To make it easier, click the 'Input' menu option at the top of the main window and then click the 'Advanced' option. The 'Disc Layout Editor' window is easier to navigate.

Your drive is really old now and I doubt the 2.0b firmware it's running even supports the 'RITEK-S04-66' MID. It's doing a bad job of burning the discs and that's why you're getting read errors during the verification phase. It's impossible for me to say that real Verbatim discs would 100% fix the issue. Cleaning the drive may help or you may just need to get yourself a new one entirely.

I can't say that I really remember the max size of partitions using those old file systems, I haven't used them in years. In any case, it's pointless warning about a file system only supporting files

Chances are, if you've got the value Verbatim discs then they (memorex / verbatim) will both be the same RITEK-S04-66 MID.

Your 'Verbatim' discs are the value/cheapo ones... if Verbatim at all. You want the 'MKM-001-00' or 'MKM-003-00' ones.
