Many thanks, Sir or Ma'am

Also, I'm looking for external burners, I have a laptop and do not want the risk involved with installing a new internal drive.

Thanks again for your prompt reply. In your personal opinion, what are my best options for a Dvd Burner, I hear Pioneer is top-tier, is that true?

Hello, I recently received several Verbatim DL disks in the mail and was amped to get back to burning. However, two of these fives disks have continuously returned the error message "Invalid address for write" upon reaching 3% completion. Is there hope for Skyrim and I? I have attempted burns at these speeds, all to the same result (2.4x, 4x, 6x, and 8x) Please respond. Thank you. System log: I 19:41:06 ImgBurn Version 2.5.6.0 started!

Appreciate the help, but its still returning the same error hours later...

Hello, long-time user, first-time poster. I've previously been successful with Imgburn, but lately the product refuses to recognize an empty disk. I am using Memorex (8.5 gb) DVD+R DL. I've burned three games with this format, so I'm certain the disks are usable. Here is the session log: HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW CT21N 1.00 (ATAPI) Current Profile: DVD+RW Disc Information: Status: Unknown State of Last Session: Unknown Erasable: Unknown Formatted: Unknown Sessions: Unknown Sectors: 2,228,225 Size: 4,563,404,800 bytes Time: 495:11:50 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x TOC Information: Session 1...

In the past, I've been able to uninstall, then Reinstall Imgburn to work around this issue, yet today the same isn't true. Please help. Thanks in advance.
