The payload tool may show enabled on many burners, but very few beside the Liteon iHAS actually produce acceptable XGD3 backups, if at all. But its very strange that out of 50 disks only one would finalise, is their a way to manually finalize disks?

I do use the payload tool, i thought i says the size in the log.

Could try with that option disabled, I've had some burners that went bananas with that option enabled, especially if they are near the death date. Ive tried multiple things, i just ordered a different drive but it will take a while because it is shipping internationally. Idk what coult be going on..... HP does not support any firmware updates unfortuantely. And ive copied the settings exactly, and it just hangs on the finalization part. I put money into this drive, but im to cheap to give it up! Thanks Anyway Cynthia your help is appreciated.

Model A, b, or c? i have te finalise disk error every time on my 1260i model A hopedfully we can work together to solve both our issues, what are you settings?

I know i posted a topic on this but i have hope in this drive, It HAS produced a successfull XGD3 burn but just fails after that, thats why i keep having hope it will work.

Well, i thought you guys were a bit more savvy with DVD drives and such. Thanks anyway LIGHTNING UK!

Lets say for example my 360 game breaks but i luckily have a backup. My HP 1260i model A is shit for when it comes to burning with the max payload tool. Any good drives that arent discontinued that can burn the type of disk i want? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help, if their is anything i can do to make this damn drive work with my disks let me know.

Im selling the drive on ebay, it only worked with MKM 003s and this is really pissing me off.

Ok nevermind, i try to look for my drive but its not there. Dang. Now im really getting pissed.... Oh well... But i read somehwere that my drive is basically a clone of a different drive but shit i forgot where it was.

When i go to drive, the option is greyed out. No idea why but it just is.

Thanks Andrianvdh trying that right now!

Well, i decided to ask my freind for 1 verbatim disk, it was the 8x double layer model. I burn it yesterday and it worked just fine out of my HP 1260i burner with the max payload tool. I purchased a spindle of Verbatims MKM 001 that was pretty expensive and im now about to shit bricks because of it. I dont know how to update the firmware(believe me i googled it) and i believe its because of something but i just dont know what. Heres the string with the error.
