markharris1990 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 The problem is that I have been making backups for a long time no problems at all but suddenly out of nowhere every burn successfully completes but when its put into the wii it comes up with an error saying it can't read the disk check manuals I've tried using imgburn newest version and older version tried nero and even tried 3 diffrent brands of disks burning at both 6 and 4 speed and it just refuses to work I tried using the same disks same software same write speed and even same iso images on another computer and it works fine so I reinstalled the windows on the laptop that's having the problem it worked fine for a day or 2 then back to the same problem again I just don't get what it is anymore I know its not the disks coz they work in another laptop its not the softwarwe coz I use it on the other laptop that works its not the burn speed coz I burn at same speed on the other laptop and its not the drive coz I used an external brand new out the box with same results, I'm using a dell laptop 4gb ram 500gb hard drive 2gb processor tried both 32 and 64bit operating system windows 7 blurayrw drive and external samsung dvdrw drive any help.ive tried other peoples wii's to make sure its not my wii with the same problem so im confused. Would be great thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Please post a log - as per the pink box up the top If it burns and verifies ok, ImgBurn did its job. I'm afraid the rest is kinda beyond what this forum is here for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Your initial post makes it sound like everything works and yet nothing works. Your second post says you were burning on a different computer and it still failed. Let's just stick to one machine, one drive and go from there. So you've got 2 drives on your Dell laptop. One internal BD writer (or BD combo) and one external Samsung DVD writer. Both of those are obviously slimline drives - which isn't ideal. Your Samsung DVD burner has a firmware update available for it - http://www.firmwarehq.com/Samsung/SE-S084F/files.html What are the MIDs/dyes used by the 3 'brands' of discs you've tried? The brand name doesn't mean anything. You could buy 3 different ones and end up with the same MID/dye being used on all 3. Your log shows 'RITEKG05'. I lost interest in RITEK media after the RITEKG04 days (about 7 years ago!) When you burn, make sure you leave the 'Verify' option enabled (or reenable it if you've turned it off). If your burner can't read the disc is just wrote then there's a good chance it won't be readable in another device either. Always use the current version of ImgBurn (2.5.6.0 at the mo) and keep Windows updates (you need to install service pack 1 on that Windows 7 PC). When you've got things updated and found out what all of your discs are, burn and verify a disc in each of you drives (also with updated firmware) and post the results.

kryten Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm not sure we're getting the whole story. Win 7 is on SP1. Vista on SP2. Log say Win 7. So what's really going on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markharris1990 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 it was originally on windows 7 with no service pack when i had the problem and made the log but because the copy of windows 7 i had wasnt legit i installed a fresh installation of a legit copy of vista and installed sp2 and the problem has been cured for now, ill post back in a day or 2 with the results of whether it still works or is just lucky enough to cure the problem for a few days.
