ProblematicLogboy Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Hi. I'm not english so I can't speak it correctly. Sorry for the mistakes I will make. My problem: Time ago, my DVD Read Unit didn't respond, so I have to shut down my computer manually. Now, when I try to burn a DVD, ImgBurn or other burner gives me this message (the DVD I entered WASN'T a DVD +/- RW, was a -R! There's the LOG. I 15:39:08 ImgBurn Version 2.5.2.0 started! I 15:39:08 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 15:39:08 Total Physical Memory: 2.095.528 KB - Available: 1.217.376 KB I 15:39:08 Initialising SPTI...

mmalves Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 That line in the Log window shows the capabilities of your burner, not the disc inside (the disc's attributes are shown in ImgBurn's window as text on the right). That 'Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present' status means your burner didn't recognise the blank disc, which on an old burner like yours, means it's dying and will need to be replaced.
