Re-read the above message and I meant to say -- I had a similar issue yesterday on a burn where I closed the tray and forgot about it for a couple hours before pressing ok to initiate the verify process. Anyhow, just a suggestion that you may want to adjust that pop-up message to suggest waiting for the drive to become idle / stop spinning or whatever before pressing okay to initiate the verify. It may save some coasters and possible headaches in the future for some people. And about XP, it works great for many things and is far more reliable for those things than Windows 10. I have no concern about security.

I'd rather not intentionally cause it, but if it should happen I'll try to remember to screen shot. It's not impossible that Windows 10 is contributing to the issue somehow as my other 2 computers are WinXP and Win8.1. The discs nearly always read fine on those 2 computers after these circumstances and I don't recall having this issue burning on them.

The message pops up instantly stating that the tray failed to cycle (because it's a laptop). When I have the issue is when I push the tray back in after the message and do not wait until the drive is 100% idle before pressing OK on that pop-up. I had a similar issue yesterday on one burn where I left the tray open a couple hours before closing it to initiate the verify. That was a rare occurrence though so I do not know if waiting too long will always cause this, but not waiting long enough always does. The verify would not initiate and the disc has not read on this computer even after restarts and inserting another disc before trying again, but it read on my other computer perfectly. It's a very odd phenomenon.

Hello, I have had the issue occasionally over the years and I think I discovered the common thread. I always have "verify" selected when I burn a data DVD. I use a laptop so the tray does not close when attempting to cycle between write and verify. If I close the drive tray and wait 20 seconds then the verify always starts successfully and the disc can be read on the laptop after completed. However, if I close the tray and tell Imgburn to start the verify before the disc drive is 100% quiet, then the verify fails to start or gives an error. Also then the laptop refuses to recognize the disc as having data even after restarting the computer and reinstalling drivers for the disk drive. However the disc will almost always (at least 7 out of 10 times) load on my other 2 computers. I am sure the burn is always successful but why won't the data be recognized on this computer, Is the burn not finalized before verifying? I know that I can do the verify as a separate task after, I do not need to select the verify to start immediately after burn and perhaps that's the best way but then I risk forgetting to verify. What is happening? Thank you so much or any enlightenment.
