Failed to set L0 Data Zone Capacity

I've tried using 2 types of dual layer disc's: Memorex DVD+DL 8x and Verbatim DVD+DL 8x , and I get the one of two errors every time: Invalid write address or Failed to set L0 Data Zone Capacity

Try cleaning the drive or get a new one.

It's only dual layer disc's it does this with, I can burn CD+/-R/DVD+/-R with no problems.

It being able to burn SL discs isn't really relevant here.

 

You're trying to burn DL media and it's failing to perform a function that's only performed on DL media.

 

If the drive has failed to do it on 2 types of media (Verbatim being the best available) and you've already cleaned the drive, there isn't much else you can do.

 

You *might* have more luck with the 2.4x speed Verbatims (MKM-001-00 dye) but they're getting harder to come by.

 

You could also contact whoever made your PC and see if there are any firmware updates available for the drive.
