texasbubba Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 I am really new at DVD burning and can't get the Write" button to turn gree so I can burn the ISO file I shrund using DVD Shrink 3.2. I keep getting this message, "Device Not Ready: No reference position found. I followed the guide on how to get Imgburn to work with DVD Shrink but I continue to get the same message. Can someone give me some ideas?? Thanks. #39;(

My computer is a Dell Inspiron 1100 with a plug-in that allows me to watch DVD's on it. I can burn CD's but wanted to try DVD's. Again, excuse my ignorance.

lfcrule1972 Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Ah as corny guessed in his post above this bit tells us that you have a DVD-ROM for watching DVD's and a CD Rewriter...... I 11:52:21 Found 1 DVD-ROM/CD-RW! You will need to get a DVD?RW to be able to write DVD's........

Kenadjian Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 As said above, your drive is what's called a combo drive, it is NOT capable of BURNING DVD's, it can only read them, it is ONLY a CD BURNER.

lfcrule1972 Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 As I am sure you know, if you want to buy a DVD?RW they are not very expensive and decent ones include the recent ones by Pioneer, NEC and BenQ amongst others.
