Jason1313 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Here's my problem. When I open up Imgburn and try to write something to a DVD-R, it just says "Disc Not Empty". I go and check the disc from my computer and guess what...there is nothing on it. I try it with another disc and get the same result. Anybody know what is wrong with it? Here is my info.

mmalves Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H653F D200 (ATA) Update your burner's firmware to the latest version D400 (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished). After rebooting check if the drive sees the discs as empty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason1313 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 k thanks but i have one problem. When I go to and download the file, it opens this thing called Tsdnwin and asked me to locate the F/W File. What is that and where can i find it?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Point it to the file called 653FD400.bin that's in the same folder as tsdnwin.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason1313 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Sorry I am a complete noob. Can you point me to exactly where it is like as in Computer/OS (C:)/Windows/System32 and so on. I really have trouble finding this file. Thank you very much -Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 The file you downloaded extracts to 'C:\dell\drivers\R218167' by default... so it's got to be somewhere around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason1313 Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Ok I updated it then restarted my computer and it still says "Disc Not Empty". Anyone else got an answer? Here is my info again.

mmalves Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Can you check those discs on another burner? Either your drive is crazy or those discs have been used before/have manufacturing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 @ Jason1313 You should have the same type of 'stuff' as you had in the post #7. Now you only have the first part of the disc info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason1313 Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Tomorrow I will go out to wal mart or bestbuy and get some new dvds. The two I tried were old ones my friend gave me when he moved. When I get the new discs, I will post what happens with them. Thanks for everyones help and support!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Thanks for that info. If you have time and are willing, I could do with the I/O debug log from what the program does when you insert the disc when you're in Write / Read modes. So just eject the disc, load the program, switch to the Write mode, press the F8 key (to enable I/O debug mode) and then insert the disc. Save what you see in the log window to a file and repeat for Read mode. Then upload both logs here on the forum. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
