Do you have Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools installed? Also please post your Filter Driver Load Order (look in ImgBurn's Tools menu).

 

no to either of those tools.

 

It shows the redbook upper filter first which points to a microsoft .sys file

Then I have the GEARAspiWDM driver which I believe its part of iTunes

I have no lower filters.

 

 

 

well. i just tried burning a d/l using nero and nero was not seeing d/l either. so im pretty sure my drive is hosed.

The drive thinks there's no disc in the drive. If you insert a burned (or pressed) dual-layer disc, does it recognize the disc and show the information?

 

 

yes. if i put a burnt d/l in the drive it sees it no problem.

Hi and welcome to the forum, tim7286!

 

If you insert the media you'r having problems with and then start the 'Read mode' of the program - do you then see anything in the right info panel about the disc information?

 

If you see it, can you just copy and paste that info into a posting window here?

 

It should look something like this:

 

PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-115D 1.22 (ATA)

Current Profile: DVD+R

 

Disc Information:

Status: Empty

Erasable: No

Free Sectors: 2

Ok. Here is my problem. Im trying to burn a DL and everytime i insert a blank DL it comes up with the medium not present error. Now i have burned with both CD's and DVD's. I have also burned with DL until recently. When I insert a DL with info on it, it recgonizes it and says disc not empty. I tried removing the drive in device mgr and restating/reinstalling ive also tried updating my firmware to the most recent version (i have a gsa-h22l LG drive with firmware 1.0.2.) Im kind of at a loss here because everything was working fine before, any help would be appriciated. thanks. Oh also, i am using verbatim DVD+R DL. here is my log as well...
