LIGHTNING UK!

You'd have to access the files in that partition and copy them somewhere more easily accessible. Find a bootable floppy disc image somewhere on the net that loads CD-ROM drivers. Add that image as the boot image via build mode and add your diagnostics files / folder to the disc via the 'source' box. Boot the disc, switch to the current drive of the mounted cd drive and run the diag program.

Try enabling the 'perform opc before write' option in the settings. Try another pack of discs. Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc.

All of this should be covered by the machine's user manual. They only read certain content from certain discs/file systems and some may impose limits on how much they'll play (file size). Each player is different and you'll just have to check the exact specs of your machine.

Can you access that partition within Windows via a drive letter? If not, ImgBurn can't do anything with it. If you just want a hdd diagnostics disc, get something like Hiren's Boot CD.

How have you ended up with a drive without a model number or firmware version?! Try burning at 4x. If that doesn't work, buy different discs.

You'll be better off downloading something that can already do what you want and is bootable. There are lots of ISO images floating around with hdd tools on them. I.e. Hiren's boot disc. For the custom OS disc you want to make, get your modified source files prepared and then just follow the OS installation disc guide in the guides forum.

Check the settings guide, it'll explain the options.

It looks like you've already tried and failed to burn to that disc. Use another new one please.

Read mode has a setting to configure the 'default destination'. Check the Read tab in the settings.

The program predates Windows 10 and you have to do something special to make the OS report itself as what it really is. Samsung drives don't have a way of querying if it's actually going to change the booktype to anything else. The program has asked it to booktype to DVD-ROM and it has accepted the command, that's why the log entry exists during the write phase. For whatever reason, the drive hasn't done what was asked if it and the booktype remains as DVD+R DL. I shouldn't worry too much. If you're burning avchd, your player will be new enough to not care about the booktype. Some won't even play if the booktype *has* been changed.

You need to save it in Unicode format. It should be an option in the 'Save' dialog box. Probably under the 'File Type' drop down box. If that still doesn't work, get back to me

SPTI is the only one I've ever really used and the only one gets updates within my program code. Because SPTI is all done via Microsoft's API, there are other bits of code that can tie in with the core I/O stuff... like where it can show a device's 'Family Tree' and the speed of a USB connection.

Any of the green ones.

It's 'by design', so I doubt it'll change. As for a workaround, using the default I/O method is it

Ok so it turns out that ElbyCDIO's 'Exclusive Access' function only locks out the window file system, it doesn't lock out anything else... including other instances of ImgBurn using ElbyCDIO or indeed, SPTI. So the only way to really lock it out is to use SPTI as mentioned earlier.

It should be able to, yes. Clear it once before burning your first mkm-003-00 disc and then leave it alone.

You probably just need the right discs.

It says it's written a leadin containing cd text, so it looks like the disc should have cd text on it. Go into read mode with that disc in the drive and click on the media information button. See if it lists what you expect for titles and artist etc. Beyond that, I guess your player doesn't read cd text.

Post the log of the burn please

It's down to the OS to publish it... and it's probably down to parallels to make it available to the OS. So, if both of those are doing their job, it'll show up in ImgBurn.

Post the log please

Try adjusting the output size down a bit if it keeps making a video_ts set that won't fit on a disc.

Does it play MP4 from a disc? Maybe try a USB stick or convert the MP4 to DVD video or BD video format and burn those files instead.

Your drive or machine has got stuck. Turn it off and on again.

I guess you'd need to try some more verbatim ones with that mid to see if it's just a coincidence that the drive is failing in general now or if it's just the discs. You could try enabling the 'perform opc before write' option in the settings to see if it will help the drive achieve a decent burn on this slight variation of a previously working mid.
