sha Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I've used this burner to burn onto Verbatims from this same spindle and have had no trouble, but for some odd reason the past four I've pulled out have given me a 2 minute load time to just display Device Not Ready (No Reference Point Found). its happend before in the past due to an spti problem (im guessing) but it worked after i removed spti. i really dont believe the drive is dying since i havent burned that many dual layers.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 It's got to be either the discs or the drive. You can take your pick on which one you replace first. Cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc might help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 so if it was the disks or drive, how would you explain the same drive burning on these discs form the same spindle. and its not like this is a new problem, its happening on and off, and when i do get the drive to detect the blank discs, it burns perfectly with no errors. i asked my brother if he had the disc cleaner, i might just buy one from a store and return it.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 If sometimes your drive can initialise a disc and sometimes it can't, clearly there's an issue there somewhere?! It's a hardware issue between the drive and the media, nothing else comes into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
