LIGHTNING UK!

Do you see anything at all? A splashscreen or whatever? What OS are you running? How much memory do you have? Have you tried scanning for viruses?

Right well it looks like you've tried to burn that disc before and then maybe cancelled it for some reason. I say this because your log shows 'Failed to set L0 Data Zone Capacity' and yet clearly it has worked at some point because that exact value (2.077.920) is what the media says it's locked to.

Eject that disc, reboot and then insert it again. Then re-copy + paste the info.

Back in the main window, copy + paste all the disc info from the memo on the right.

It's called drag and drop You can even use copy + paste.

That's where the discs are made, not where you have to go to buy them! As you can see from the 'Write Speeds' text, 2.4x isn't even an option on the MKM-003-00 media in that drive with that firmware. If you're tried 4x, 6x and 8x and none of them work then you're out of luck. Get some 2.4x MKM-001-00 discs as mentioned before and try again OR get yourself a new drive. You can pick them up for about

The logs are saved automatically. Help menu -> ImgBurn logs. If you're using MKM-003-00, try getting MKM-001-00 from Singapore instead.

It could be heat related and also your media is hit and miss anyway. Get some Taiyo Yuden/Verbatim discs instead and give them a go. After that you might like to consider upgrading to a newer/better/faster/cheaper drive. Oh and pleeeease don't do I/O debug enabled logs until I (we) actually ask for them! A simple copy + paste would have done straight into the forum 'post' box, there's no need to make us download rtf files for plain text.

One already exists... I like to call it 'Explorer'

If it won't initialise the discs and you've tried some from different spindles (or even ones you've already burnt), the drive has probably gone south.

Are you sure you don't just have something running in the background that's changing the data on the fly?

You probably need MKM-001-00. MKM-003-00 might not be supported by that drive - it's pretty old now.

ImgBurn uses the wininet functions so that's what you need to do to get it working. Doing it in Control Panel -> Internet Settings is enough, I don't want to make you load IE if it's gonna make you upset

Wow your drive is an old one... and manufactured looooong before those discs were ever created. If you want to use the latest discs/dyes then you're going to need a new burner.

It takes the info from IE. We're behind a proxy at work and I've never noticed any problems with it.

There is no spoon... erm I mean picture. The logs are saved automatically, look in the Help menu -> ImgBurn Logs. Upgrade to 2.4.0.0 I make these updates for a reason! lol

You're going to need to tell me the exact file names as displayed on a working and non working disc - both containing the same content. Only then can we see what it might be. Ideally we need to see the ISO9660 names and the Joliet ones - you could use IsoBuster to get/show this information. It'll output the filenames to a text file.

Ok, after the 3 automatic retries it'll prompt if it's still getting a typical failure response from the drive. You can then choose to retry cycling the tray again or simply give up.

Try burning in discovery mode, that's all a quick erase really is only it writes zeroes to more sectors. A full erase issues the actual format command first.

All I can say is.... thank God for rewritables!

Just click 'Ignore' / 'Continue' when it pops up. If you want it off forever, click Tools -> Settings -> Write tab -> Perform OPC Before Write. You might want to slow the burn speed down a bit if MAX (i.e. 8x) doesn't work. Also, check for firmware updates incase there are any.

This disc might have been recorded using the TAO (Track At Once) write type rather than SAO. TAO sticks a couple of unwritten/unreadable sectors on the end of the tracks. As for why some speeds work when others don't, that all comes down to the drive, it's out of ImgBurn's hands. Personally I find that a bit strange, especially when you're reading that disc at max speed and it clearly failed.

Sorry but you'll both just have to imagine that it's bold!

I guess those memorex disc must use the Ritek or CMC dye... it would be weird if it was still Ricoh!

There's still no reason for it to.
