demian Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Hey, I'm new to this forum, so if I violate any rules or if you need more information please notify me. I am trying to write a Win 7 Enterprise image to a Maxell DVD+R disk and I cant figure out why it won't work. I've read the guide about how to write a windows 7 disk on the forums, but i believe that only applies if you don't already have a .iso. I've also written this image to a different DVD on a different computer earlier, however I don't have access to that computer or DVD. I've included the imgburn log with all the information. If you want me to give you more information or run tests, I will. Thank you, Demian

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Your drive doesn't seem to like the discs you're using, try some different / better ones. It might be worth trying the other supported write speeds first though. You've tried 'MAX' which is 8x for your drive/firmware/media combo. I 13:55:53 Destination Media Supported Write Speeds: 3x; 4x; 6x; 8x
demian Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 I've tried the other speeds too and they don't work either. I thought Maxell was a pretty good brand but I guess I was wrong. Which brand would be a good choice?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Brand names don't mean anything, it's the dye/MID the discs use that's important. I 13:55:53 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: RITEK-F16-01) As you can see, yours use the 'RITEK-F16-01' dye/MID and it's just a cheapo one used by various brands. Get yourself some Verbatim ('MCC' dye/MID) / Taiyo Yuden (a.k.a. Victor JVC with 'TY' or 'YUDEN' dye/MID) discs. They actually make their own and are known to be the best.
