KOSTASDC Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 For more a week i have been trying to erase or format a 25gb LGEBRE BD-RE that came with my usb LG super multi drive but it is totally impossible. I have tested this with: imageburn, nero9, instantburn, daemon tools, alcohol 120, roxio etc but the result is always the same:nothing!! I thnk that my mistake was that the very first time that i used the disc i did not perform a full format( i did not know that then) but i started burning the disc with cyberlink power2go with dissapointing results. I have tested my drive with verbatin and sony media( after formatting them in the begInning!!) and they worked more than fine. But i would like to save my LG BD-RE, so any suggestion for making a succesful full-formatting just for once would be more than well accepted! Image burn does not let me to make a quick erase , it says that the disc must be fully formatted, so perhaps any change in the seetings might help........ Thank you in advance!.( I have read in the forum that LG BD-REs are of bad quality but i am sure that there must be a way that i would like to discover!!)
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Attempt a full erase and copy + paste everything from the log window.

mmalves Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 If you have access to another BluRay burner, try doing the full erase on the other drive(s). They might just be able to do what yours can't/refuses to.
KOSTASDC Posted July 14, 2009 Author Posted July 14, 2009 there is no possbility to try the burn with another burner at the moment- i just wonder if there are some settings to do that with imageburn ...is it that difficult to perform a full format on a LG BD-RE?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 This is a hardware issue. Failures like this are due to the drive/firmware/media combo. You need to change one of the 3 to stand any chance of solving a problem. I didn't even bother to unwrap my LG disc (having seen so many failures). I'd already got some Verbatim ones and they work just fine.
