Cheese1 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ok the burn(Win 7 hehe) was successful according to Img Burn, but my laptop is not reading the disk. So I checked it on another laptop and it was reading it fine. I then popped in a few other cd's I had and my laptop i reading them no problem either. Any help on getting my laptop to read the disk?

ianymaty Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Same thing after reboot the laptop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese1 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Yes the problem is still there after reboot. Though I had this problem earlier with regular DVD's and the reboot solved it. Could it be that my laptop is older? It's a 2006-07ish Gateway laptop so it's pretty old. Maybe it can't read DVD+R DL which is what I used.

ianymaty Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 If it burned it than it should reading it back as well. Did you burned the disc in another laptop/computer not on the Gateway? You should post the log as per the pink box up say for further assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianymaty Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 That image would fit on a single layer disc. You did not let the verify enabled so we don't know if that drive would read it back. Try find a firmware update for the drive on Gateway support site. You should update Vista to SP2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try find a firmware update for the drive on Gateway support site. You should update Vista to SP2. I had to uncheck the verify option, because the burning process would always get stuck at that step. I'll update to SP2 and check firmware and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 If it "get stuck" as you say at verify than there is a problem. The verify part is needed to be sure the disc is readable (at least in that drive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
