Can someone tell what's going on here? ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 - Log ; Friday, 08 August 2008, 14:06:11 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 14:00:15 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your quick responses.

The mds file is only 11 KB in size, while the iso file is 5 GB. Isn't the iso the correct one to be backing up?

Yes. An mds and iso file were created.

Yes, I used the Read mode. I selected the option "Create Image File From Disc"

Well, I seem to be having a problem with this. I created an ISO image of the Recovery disc and it is saved on my hard drive. When I attempt to write the image to a disc, IMGBURN won't allow me to select the iso image, but instead says I have selected the wrong file and need to select the MDS file. It won't let me add the ISO image. Please help.

Can I use IMGBURN to make a copy of the Recovery DVD for my computer's operating system? I know I can create an ISO image of it, but I'm not sure if this is the correct way to go about it. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried some ultra speed CD-RW(memorex) and still unable to verify. Here is the error message. I'm thinking maybe I need to purchase a new external burner. Which do you all recommend?

Still no luck burning CD-RW with my Sony external. I was unable to open the tray manually as well. It wouldn't let me open it all and just quit before starting the verify process. No updates were available for the firmware either. Should I consider purchasing another burner? I'm thinking that this one just doesn't like CD-RW. All other media such as CD-R, DVD-R and DVD-RW work perfectly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to upgrade the firmware on my external burner first and then try new media if that doesn't work. DVD-RW seem to work fine. CD-RW is the only type of media giving me this problem. If all else fails, I'll just stick to the Mashita internal drive when burning CD-RW's.

Is there a way to turn off the function for automatically cycling the tray?

I'm having issues burning any kind of files to a CD-RW using my Sony external rewritable drive. The file gets written to the CD, but when it comes time to verify sectors, no dice. Here is the error message I'm getting. Any help would be appreciated. Strangely, I have no problems burning the same CD-RW(Sony) with the Mashita internal drive that my other laptop has.
