toyoda Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 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. --- Here's the error log: I 15:27:33 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 W 15:29:35 Failed to Read Sector 339552 - Reason: L-EC Uncorrectable Error 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.
