[Device not Ready]

edit found answer

 

unable to recover TOC means the drive cannot read the disc ( TOC = table Of Contents) . The TOC tells the drive whats on the disc and how to play it and what order basically.

If the drive is unable to read it, it means it cannot read the disc.

 

Options open to you are;

update firmware and/or use better quality discs like taiyo yuden or verbatims

 

check your in "Build" or "Write" mode as well

 

if you can get the drive to recognise a blank disc, post a log file for us

 

feel free to close

[Device not Ready]

It doesnt say it in the log but when i try to burn at the bottom margin of imgburn not the log it says

"Device not ready (unable to find TOC)"

 

what does this mean?
