akashi Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hoping to get a little help with this error message after coastering two DVD's Anyone know what's going wrong here? Using a HP DVD Writer 1040d and writing at 1x speed. I've burnt through ImgBurn with this driver a ton of times, though it's been a while since the last time. Dead drive, or missing settings? Thanks.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Also, the first error is the important one, not anything that comes up after a retry. In your case, that means the important one is: W 05:07:09 Failed to Write Sectors 66336 - 66367 - Reason: Write Error Your drive complained about a 'Write Error' whilst attempting to burn the media.

Ok, I understand. As it's now failed three times at 30% each time, I suspect the .iso might be borked. Downloading it again and will try to 8x to see what happens.

akashi Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) *edit* Fixed the problem. I flashed my HP burner into the Liteon it really is and it burnt the TDK disk just fine. Probably not the recommended way to do things though. Thanks again for your help.

Rincewind Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hrm, so now TDK is using CMC-MAG as well? I also don't recall this variation of CMC-MAG (AM3) I guess even CMC-MAG has levels of quality too then? The only form I have ever encountered was CMC MAG-M01-00 and never had any trouble burning with it. Be that as it may, next time go for the Verbatim (NOT LIFE SERIES) discs that have the ID MCC (single layer) and MKM (double layer). Sorry for the thread hijack.

akashi Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hrm, so now TDK is using CMC-MAG as well? I also don't recall this variation of CMC-MAG (AM3) I guess even CMC-MAG has levels of quality too then? The only form I have ever encountered was CMC MAG-M01-00 and never had any trouble burning with it. Be that as it may, next time go for the Verbatim (NOT LIFE SERIES) discs that have the ID MCC (single layer) and MKM (double layer). Sorry for the thread hijack. I've always had great luck with Verbatim, so I'll be getting them again. The TDK's were one of Office Depot's 50 for $10 deals, so maybe they weren't strictly kosher (too good to be true right?).

Rincewind Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Yea, but even for the TDK discs usually you get Ritek and not CMC-MAG which is very weird. Like I said though be careful with Verbatim discs as well, don't make the same mistake I did and not look closely at the label. Steer clear of the DataPlus or Life Series, since it is just CMC-MAG discs with Verbatim slapped on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
