Please Help?? Tired of making coasters!!

[jono]

I am using Verbatim DL 2.4x discs. It burns the first layer just fine and then i get an I/O error at about 54% everytime on the second layer! I've ruined around 10 discs so far and I haven't changed any settings since it was working fine.

 

Here is the Log from my last attempt:

Slimline drives are notorious for being unreliable and some are worse than others, I assume this is a laptop burner?

Check your laptop manufacturers support website for downloads for your drive, there should be updated firmware available, which may help.

 

 

I 21:23:12 ImgBurn Version 2.4.3.0 started!

Also update ImgBurn while you're at it.

Thank you guys for your responses and i will update firmware and imgburn. However, as far as my issue is concerned, it turned out to be something so simple that I am kickng myself in the groin!!

 

Like most problems i skipped right over the most obvious fundamental stuff that could be the problem and jumped straight into making it WAY harder than it needed to be. The Verbatim DL discs I have are actually 8x when i thought they were 2.4x!! I had my write speed setting set to 2.4 in Imgburn so when i changed it to 8x....no wories.

 

Again thanks for the help tho!
