deadfly Posted December 7, 2009 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.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 7, 2009 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.
