benrvd Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I've burned at least 30 Dual layer discs of 360 backups using Imgburn successfully in the past year. I took a hiatus the past 3 months and revisited it this past week. I used these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GHWRIK/ref=oss_product Verbatim discs as I have always done. I updated to the new Imgburn update (potential problem). I even re-downloaded the latest drivers for my DVD drive, even though I'm sure I already had them as the latest release were from early January of last year. I've just gone through about 7 coasters trying make a backup. I've seen a variety of error messages, but this one appears to be the latest: "Set L0 Data Zone Capacity Failed! Reason: Program Memory Area Update Failure" After searching various forums, I learned this is usually the result of using low-quality DL discs. However, I'm using the exact same ones that worked previously for me within the past year, meaning it's probably something else. Here is the log I get: I 10:20:48 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!

Cynthia Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Have you tried the 4x write speed? On the package, where are the discs made? Singapore/Taiwan/India/China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benrvd Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Singapore. I just tried the 4x. Same results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 It could be some bad discs in the spindle. I have had spindles that were the pure jokes with Verbatims. You have another package to try with? I would also try to run a lens cleaning disc. Program Memory Area Update Failure I've seen this error message on Lite-Ons to be associated with the sources sector size. Have you tried to burn another project?

benrvd Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 I guess that's worth a shot. It'll have to wait until later though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benrvd Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) Actually I think I'm going to try to run a lens cleaning disc. Is there one you'd recommend? Also, I tried putting in an HP DL disc just to see what would happen, and as I try to open up the E: folder, I get a message that says, "Windows cannot read the disc in Drive E:/" "Make sure the disc uses a format that Windows recognizes. If the disc is unformatted, you need to format it before using." Could I have run into problems with with my DVD DL drive when I re-downloaded the drivers? Perhaps its not recognizing the drive as dual-layer compatible for some reason. I have an HL DT ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N ATA Device.

Cynthia Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Buy a cheap (not he ones that have sound checks and that type of stuff). W 10:32:39 Set L0 Data Zone Capacity Failed! - Reason: Program Memory Area Update Failure Most likely the disc is still open and that's why you other reader can't read it.
