Burning successfully, but verification fails and no data is written

[Caiada]

I've just started using ImgBurn today, and its really the first time I've tried to burn ANYTHING. I'm using an older drive and mediocre CD-RWs, but I'm not sure that's the problem here. I'd heard that that would destroy the disks, but these disks still work fine. They're just empty. When it tries to verify after the burn, I get "Layouts do not match". Don't know what that means. Can someone tell me what's going on here?

Try this firmware update.

At the moment, your drive is just doing a rubbish job of burning those disc.

 

Do you have any DVD-RW or DVD+RW, use one of those instead.

The firmware update requires me to create a Boot CD, that doesn't make much sense to me... I'll try DVD+RWs soon and get back to you.

Hmm annoying old firmware that expects to be run in DOS!

 

I've gone to the trouble of extracting the raw BIN file from the flasher.

 

BPSD.zip

 

Flash the bin (extract from the zip file first!) to your drive using the following tool...

DVDs worked, thanks.
