Rehv Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 This is what I get from imgburn when putting a dvd-r on the drive: Device Not Ready (Unknown (ASC: 0x09, ASCQ: 0x90)) Since it didn't burn anything, my log is only this: I 14:41:50 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!I 14:41:50 Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition (6.0, Build 6001 : Service Pack 1)I 14:41:50 Total Physical Memory: 3.143.980 KB - Available: 1.708.500 KBW 14:41:50 SPTD can have a detrimental effect on drive performance.I 14:41:50 Initialising SPTI...I 14:41:50 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...I 14:41:50 Found 1 DVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, Rehv! Sounds as the burner is dead and can't read the info on the blank disc. Might work if you clean the laser beam with a cleaning disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehv Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) Ok, I'll try that. Thanks! EDIT: huh... I think my burner is not dead... just tried to burn a CD-R and it worked... why only dvd? I forgot to mention I get clicks while loading the dvd (and the led keep flashing), then it stops and I get the above mentioned error. I've got a similar behavior with my "The Sims 2" original dvd disc, same clicks and so... but I could get it to work (started the game just after inserting dvd)... anyway, I'll post updates on this after I get the cleaning disc. The log of the failure on writing music CD (no Power Calibration Area Error as I thought... that one was like 7 months ago ). I know I used 2.4.4.0 version that time, but I only checked for newer version after I got the dvd error...

Cynthia Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I've had burners that refused to burn DVDs - but worked with CDs and reading DVDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinningwheel Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Your drive is shot, invest in a new one. I've had several go South slowly and they usually begin by clicking/grinding away at their internals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
