ISO Burning - Medium Not Present

[srchsgp]

Hi guys,

 

I am trying to burn an iso file with image burn at 2x. It performs the first phase of burn and just before verify the disc is ejected with a message that its expected in slimline laptops and asks me to close the drive.

 

But after closing the drive it never recognises the disc and keeps giving me a MEDIUM NOT PRESENT message.

 

Using a Verbatim DVD-R disc.

 

Can someone help plz

 

Below is the log file

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum, srchsgp!

 

I 20:23:01 ImgBurn Version 2.4.3.0 started!

Tried with the latest version 2.5.0.0?

 

There is also a later firmware version for that burner.

cynthia - thx for the reply. i did try now again with the latest version of imgburn and i am having the same issue. i find it strange that imgburn can recognize and read the disc while burning but later while verifying it cannot!!

ImgBurn shows what your drive is saying, so it's your drive that isn't recognizing the disc. Have you tried a lens cleaning disc on that drive?
