Hi all
I have used ImgBurn, burner max and vertatim discs before with success but just bought a new spindle of blank dual layers.
Now I get the Semaphore error just after the burning lead in starts. The drive then disappears and an I/0 error happens.
Just to check, I have formatted my pc and burnt a disc out of this spindle without burner max on another burner.
I have only just also changed the drive advanced settings to enable FHT. Before format I didn't change anything with ImgBurn and it worked with previous spindle of blanks.
Is there anyway (apart from trying a new spindle of blanks) to rectify this problem?
I have a Liteon Ihas 524 D burner.
Cheers
Here is the status report I get
