Failed to Read Sector - Reason: L-EC Uncorrectable Error

[toyoda]

I am trying to create a disk image of a DVD-R backup of a HDD. The HDD backup DVD-R was created using a Linux based backup program. I have had success using IMGBurn to create a disk image of a backup like this before.

 

Any ideas? Is it a bad sector on the original HDD?

 

DVD-R disk is Memorex

DVD burner is Sony.

No, it is not a bad sector on the original HDD, it seems that media (disc) has failed.

Can you give some detail as to what the error log is reporting?

It's reporting that.

 

Your drive can't read the sector mentioned and the reason for it (according to the drive itself) is 'L-EC Uncorrectable Error'.

 

You can Google 'L-EC Uncorrectable Error' if you want to know all the details.

 

If the disc is clean and free from scratches, it'll be failing because it was a bad burn or the media is just rubbish.
