middie26 Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 I recently upgraded to the 2.5.1.0 version and I'm suddenly running into problems burning DL discs.. I'm getting the message "Device Not Ready (No Reference Position Found)". With the previous version, I was not running into any issues and now, the icon that one would click on to start the process is not highlighted. *sigh* I'm using Memorex, so it's entirely possible I'm using the crap media that everyone talks about, but I'd someone to verify if possible. My firmware is up to date and the drive does have DL write capability... Any thoughts? Thanks!
mmalves Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 Post the text shown in the Log window (Edit -> Select All then paste here). Does the drive recognised burned discs? What about single layer blank discs?

What about single layer blank discs? Hey, mmalves... See below for the log! Nothing appears in the log when I put in the DL disc. It's like the drive isn't even seeing the disc... I 16:51:26 ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 started!

When I throw in a previously burned disc, an error message appears in the status bar: "Disc Not Empty". Of course, I'm guessing this is what should appear.
mmalves Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 You could try a lens cleaning disc on that burner to see if it helps but most likely the problem is the memorex blanks. Try with Verbatim DVD+R DL blanks or other brands until you find one that works consistently with your burner.

It's strange that the discs would work once and then suddenly they aren't working anymore.. Oh, well.. Off to get some Verbatims! Thanks!!
