deadfly Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Hi guys. I am new here but I have been a long time user of imgburn. A new problem came up. When I put a burn disc back into the drive, the CD always end up with a Status: Empty even after a successful burn. When I put in a CD I had burned in the past, it says Status: complete. I have reformatted my computer so it might be a reason why it does not work. I now have window 7. Not sure if it is a compatibility issue or my driver doesn't burn anymore. My drive is able to play CD and also read. Could it have lost its burning ability? I tried burning in 2x, 4x, 8x. Always came out with successful burns but empty. I am using Memorex DVD+R.

My drive(TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-T633A)does not burn anymore. 2. Memorex DVD+r are terrible. 3. Driver and software is not updated. When I reinstall, my previous software might have been erased. 4. Window 7 might not be compatible with my burner. 5. I missed an option on imgburn which render me unable to burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 If 8x doesn't work, get some other discs - Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden. Try cleaning the lens on the drive with a cleaning disc. If all else fails, you'll have to invest in a new drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
