When an original DVD is inserted in the drive the status bar says "Disc Not Empty". When a DVD-R that has already been recorded on (given to me by someone else) is inserted in the drive (Memorex Brand) I get the same message in the status bar as I did with a blank DVD-R. I was not sure what you meant by an original so I tried both.

The driver brand is a LG and the model is a GSA-4167B. The firmware version that is associated is DL13. Both of my drives are LG and the firmware automatically checks for updates everyday.

I've tried both drives and both of them come back with the same message. But, yes, I have been using the DVDRAM drive.

Hello, I've been playing with ImgBurn for the past few days and have been reading most of the related forum posts to try and figure out why ImgBurn is giving me this message. At first the DVD will load as if the drive and/or program is going to pick it up, but then "Device Not Ready (Unknown 0x28, 0x81)" (atleast I think that is what it says) flashes before "Device Not Ready (Logical Unit not ready, Cause not reportable)" is given. So far I have tried about everything I can think of. I was initially trying to use Memorex DVD-R 4x, then was given a few Imation DVD-R 16x, and earlier I purchased some Sony DVD-R 16x and all three types give me the same message when I attempt to burn a DVD. A relative gave me the Imation DVD-R's because he has been using those DVDs without any problems when burning with ImgBurn. I'd appreciate any help that you might be able to give me. Thanks.
