Can't burn Data CDs anymore - "Illegal Mode For This Track"


Daemon

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to burn a data CD consisting of my own photos, straight from the HD. I never had any problems doing this before today, and as of now I'm getting 100% failure rate.

Test-burns run smoothly, and I can still burn DVDs without any sort of errors.

I'm using Verbatim disks.

Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished) and try again at 16x or 24x.

 

If it still doesn't work then try with Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs, or, at the very least, any disc other than CMC Magnetics :pirate:
