urgan Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hi all, This is driving me insane. I use Imgburn since version 1.x.xx. Lately when I try to burn a DVD+R (build mode) it always says drive needs formating. Of course it fails doing so, since the disc it's not erasable.

I've checked the MCC-004-000 discs, the code inde inside metallic ring seems legit. Anyway to force imgburn to force/revert to DVD+R ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 If your drive hasn't always reported MMC-004-00 like that, try a cleaning disc in it. Yes, you could also try putting on the latest Intel Matrix driver... in fact, it's a good idea to do that regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
