Hi

 

After shutting down my computer to sort one problem out with imgburn, i now have another one today. One of my drives iHAS124B won't find the info for the disc,

the log reads

but it says above the log

device not ready (no reference position found)

any help would be much appreciated

"device not ready (no reference position found)"

 

^^ that means the drive can't initialise the disc properly. Eject + reinsert it.

 

If it won't work with any discs now, it's probably faulty.
