The thing is that the current Imation DVD+R DL discs that I am using have worked previously in my drive (25 times). So I do not know why they just decided to stop being recognised by the drive. Maybe the drive does need cleaning!!!

Hi. This is a real strange phenomenon. I am using the latest ImgBurn software with my Lite-on DVD DL burner (Atapi iHAP122 W) which has the latest firmware and driver. I have used this burner to burn ISO files previously on many occasions using Imation DL DVD+R discs. All of a sudden now the burner refuses to recognise the identical discs through the ImgBurn software giving me the "Device not Ready(Medium not present - tray closed)" error. I thought that the burner might have died - even though it is only a few months old. However, I can read the other DL discs that i have burnt. Can anyone help me here????? Do i need to clean the burner??? HELP!!!!!!!

Thanks...will try.

Hi. I have a HP Pavilion PC which has a DVD-RW 16X HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4166B (Lightscribe DL drive), which came with the PC. I recently bought some Imation DVD+R DL discs to use for burning purposes and found that my DVD-ROM does not recognise these discs, even though it should. Even in programs like ImgBurn they are not recognised. I tried updating the firmware for the DVD-ROM but could not tell if it worked or not after following instructions. It asked for me to download and burn on CD an .iso file and then boot from this CD. I did not get any messages about the upgrade during the boot so assumed it did not work. Can you please advise here? Am I doing something wrong with the update or do I need a new DVD-ROM even though it should read/write DL DVD dics? I subsequently, on the advice of others, bought Verbatim DVD+R DL discs as they told me the Imation ones were not good. ImgBurn still did not recognise the discs. Some one please help. Regards. Btriant.
