rotherdrummer Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) hi everyone 1st post on here, hope you can help!... i've been using imgburn for years with no major problems, but about 6 months ago i bought some memorex dvd+r discs and started experiencing problems burning iso/img files. unfortunately, i can't remember the exact error message but it couldn't write the tracks and it would make the annoying "oh no!" sound. the weird thing is, if i kept re-trying the burn, eventually it would work. there didn't seem to be any formula to make it work, it was just a case of being patient. anyway, i assumed this was down to the media, so even though i have stacks of memorex discs left over i decided to purchase a spindle of verbatim dvd-r's. unfortunately, the problem is now worse! i can't burn anything at all on the verbatim discs. i keep getting the following error: "Device Not Ready (Logical Unit not ready, Cause not reportable) i did a bit of research and tried uninstalling Daemon tools and the SPTD driver, but i'm still getting the error. i really didn't expect this using top discs and imgburn can anyone offer any advice? thank you john p.s. imgburn 2.1.5.0, and there's nothing in the log... I 21:48:39 ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 started!

mmalves Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 If it's showing that message when using Verbatim blanks then your burner is pretty much dead. Try a lens cleaning disc on that drive but you should start looking for a new burner, which is pretty cheap by the way.
rotherdrummer Posted August 9, 2010 Author Posted August 9, 2010 the pc is only about 6 months old. are there any other tests you'd recommend before simply replacing it? thanks
rotherdrummer Posted August 9, 2010 Author Posted August 9, 2010 it's just started working. not sure why. here are the steps taken: - inserted verbatim disc, imgburn said ""Device Not Ready (Logical Unit not ready, Cause not reportable)" - ejected/re-inserted, same error - replaced verbatim disc with memorex dvd+r. imgburn kept saying "Device not ready (Logical unit is in process of becoming ready)" - after 15 minutes of waiting, nothing happened - ejected disc and closed imgburn - inserted blank verbatim disc again without having imgburn open - windows 7 recognised the blank disc and asked me what i wanted to do with it. i clicked cancel - opened up imgburn and it could see and write to the verbatim disc any ideas what's causing this? thanks
mmalves Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 It's all up to the burner, and if it doesn't recognise one of the best media on the market, then what good it is?
