[device not ready (no reference position found)]

K... all fixed for now - although have only burnt 1 at moment - but it is burning

 

I added in a ide burner and moved the sata burner to another port - the ide worked for dvd 1st time - so eliminated software/os issues.

 

uninstalled burner causing issues - moved to another sata port and it is now working again.

 

is the drive on the way out?? about 3 weeks agao it started auto closing after you open it, is this a sign that drives are their on way out?

Well i don't get this - I was using my burner fine yesterday - just gone to burn another file this am with same disc and I am now getting this message.

 

Now nothing has changed since yesterday - the pc has not be rebooted and no new/different software has been installed.

 

the only thing i noticed is, using the 'Smart Burn' app that is for liteon burners - it now sees my d/l disc as cd's with a max burn rate of 48????

 

I get the same message on Img Burn whether it be a dvd or d/l dvd

 

 

this is what the drive thinks it has in it -

 

Drive Type = DVD Super AllWrite

Disc Type = UNKNOWN

Material = Cyanine

Lead In = 00:00:00

Lead Out = 00:00:00

Nominal Capacity = -0.29MB

Manufacturer Maybe = (null)

SMART-BURN Speed Limit = 48X (Write)

 

this disc's has burnt fine before - help pls.
