JXBlack Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 All of a sudden I am unable to erase DVD-RW. I have tried 3 disc's including 2 brand new ones, I copied down the following info when I put in a brand new DVD_RW. After that, I just kept getting erasure failures. I/O error scsi status 0X4 Interpertation.........check condition Interpertation.........write (10) 768-799 Interpertation.........unknown internal target failure It seems that I can still burn regular DVD-R discs. Thanks
ianymaty Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 Post one of the logs of erase attempt. Look in Help menu for old logs.

Rincewind Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) I don't know how long you have had your drive, but.. E 16:48:36 Failed to Erase Disc! - Reason: Unknown (Internal Target Failure) (ASC: 0x44, ASCQ: 0xD9) This kinda concerns me. Before panicking though try cleaning your drive with a cleaning disc, and also: ImgBurn Version 2.5.2.0 You might want to update imgburn to 2.5.5. Also check for any firmware updates for your drive by being in any mode, click tools -> drive -> check for firmware updates then try again. Also maybe it is just that particular disc that is faulty. If you have another RW disc, try using that and see if the same error comes up. Edited February 28, 2011 by Rincewind
JXBlack Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks for your reply. I have upgraded to 2,5,5 and apparently I have the most recent firmware. I really don't want to open the computer up as I'm afraid that I will screw it up. Here is the log for the most recent burn attempt.

mmalves Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I'd try a new DVD-RW, preferably from Verbatim, or at least anything that doesn't use CMC dye.
