Jazzy Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Because of my crappy DVD drive, if I burn anything above 4x, it fails. My disks for some reason won't go below 4x. So everytime I burn my software, on installation it fails. Is there a way to force it to burn at 2.4x? Possibly slower? Thanks
cornholio7 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 based on the lack of info you have given, most modern discs like being burnt at 8x or higher, if yours are giving errors burning higher than 4x, either better discs of a new drive should solve your problem, a drive can only burn media at the supported speeds, which is shown in the log or the right hand pane of imgburn
Jazzy Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 I'll buy some new disks then. I think it's the drive, though. I've had problems with it in the past. I guess I'll just have to wait a while before I can install Windows 7
cornholio7 Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 if you post a log of your burn , there may be other things that can help such as firmware updates. you can find logs under help-> ImgBurn logs, just copy and paste one of your burn attempts here
