Can not format medium when burning DVD+R DL ISO's

Coolquis1997 · March 25, 2012

I keep getting the Can not format medium error. I don't know if it is my standard dvd burner or just my shitty memorex discs. This is the log.

It's a combination of the two

Your drive is too old to support the 'RITEK-S04-66' media code.

Maybe a firmware update would fix that?

Downloaded this and it still wont work http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-28739-16&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4062&product=3411015&sw_lang=.

I dont think it is too old. I recently download WWE 12, Deus Ex Human Revolution and Fight Night Champion and they all ran fine. Would it be best for me to just download old 360 games for now?

**LIGHTNING UK!** · March 26, 2012

I linked you to the firmware updates. They're what you're supposed to have tried installing/updating and not lightscribe software - which has nothing to do with anything.

I 15:01:07 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66)

Like I said before, you drive is too old to support the 'RITEK-S04-66' MID/dye discs you're trying to use. It has nothing to do with what you're trying to burn onto them.

"Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been cancelled." Is this cause i am not On Vista? BTW i that error is from the YH14 download. The YH33 says it can not find any matching drives

When i try to burn Xbox 360 games with the Memorex dvd'd i first get the "Set L0 Data Zone Capacity Failed" "Reason:Invalid Field in CDB." After i hit continue i then an I/O error. This is quite weird because the Verbatim games work fine and I used to burn PS2 games on Memorex DVD-R and they worked great also. Here is my log.

Maybe the firmware update will solve the problem. http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1588-file_sp36590.exe.html

If the problem persist, you should stick to whats working.

As we've already been though this, you know that your drive is too old to support the discs.

As it won't accept a firmware update either, your options are limited to...

1. Buying a new drive.

2. Using Verbatim discs.

I tried it on my laptop and this is what i get. Do you have any firmware updates for this drive?
