falcon74 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hi, I've tried Roxio 6 (OEM pack which came with the laptop), but from what I remember, all write attempts -- esply writing a DVD in the past 6 months (and probably after I upgraded laptop to SP3), have failed. Using ImgBurn I tried burning a brand new SONY DVD+R 4.7GB AccuCORE RW disk, and it failed, with following log -- I 09:57:28 Checking Directory Depth... I 09:57:28 Calculating Totals...

Cynthia Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Perhaps a cleaning disc could help. All three available speeds fail? (Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 6x) You have tried the 6x = MAX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
