Device not ready (No reference position found)

The reason I say the blu ray cd is broken is that the drive wont see it using img burn or any other software!!! It doesnt even spot it on my computer as it says the drive is empty even tho it has the 50 gig blu ray re in it!!! If I get another drive do you think it will spot the disk and therefore erase it or will it now be gone forever????

Hiya it has done it again but it has now fecked up a 50 gig blu ray rewriteable!!!! Im am not too pleased!!!! I need to know is it my motherboard or the actual blu ray burner that is the problem here????? I dunno which motherboard it is exactly, all I do know is that its the Acer Aspire AX3300 setup that I have got!!! I need to know if it is the burner as ill take it back and get a replacement or is it the mainboard? I have recently returned my setup to the factory setup as there is a program on a partition that allows me to do this but it still knackered the Blu Ray up!!! Im just going to have to hope that I can blag Maplins and say it was knackered at the beginning to get another rewriteable blu ray!! This only happens on Blu ray disks as when I put in a dvd or even a dual layed dvd it works perfectly!!! Lastly after looking on the internet all I can see is that the motherboard runs on a Nvidia 9200 chipset if that is of any help??? Please Help!!! Martin Dean

Its on an Acer motherboard with an onboard SATA controller but Ill be changing it after xmas but all I want to know is what that all means in Lamen terms???? Can I still use the Blu Ray disk or has my motherboard somehow knackered um up??

Hiya here is a log of my last Blu ray burn (and this is on my new bluray!!! blurayburn1.log

Hiya I have tried to format a Blu ray disk that I have used quite a few times but in the description it says "Failed to zero sectors - Reason: No additional sense information", not only did I try with one what I used but a brand new one and it still gave me the error messages!! Why is this???? Is it still ok to use the disc if it hasnt zeroed all the sectors????? Please help as I have no idea what it means??? yours thankfully Martin Dean
