Nightjar Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Hello, I require some help. Just bought my 1st blu-ray writer, it an external LG Model BE12LU38.AUFE10B The media isTDK BD-RE 25GB It took some time for the disc to erase, when it did it came up writing zeroing sectors, it has now been stuck at 99% for over 30 mins. The only error shows this W 13:57:10 Failed to Zero Sectors 12187360 - 12187391 - Reason: Write Error W 13:57:10 Retrying (1 of 20)... I 13:57:10 Zeroing Sectors... What do I do or how do I fix this, a quick answer would be appreciated as the drive is still going Update after no getting an answer I had to kill the power to eject the disc, formated with nero and have tried 3 burns in total, none would play in my blu-ray players. So luckily I had 1 more BD-RE, I did a quick erase in Nero and then burnt the same media and it played fine. I have tried to format the 1st disc with nero & imgburn but I think the zeroing error I had might have messed it up or its just a faulty disc & the format option is ticked to "format without spare areas" Any feedback would be great as I would like to determine if it was imgburn or a messed up disk ImgBurn.log Edited September 13, 2012 by Nightjar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 ImgBurn only relays what your drive reports. So if the drive reports and error during the format or zeroing (writing 0's to all of the sectors), ImgBurn just tells you about it. If it doesn't error out, ImgBurn will consider the process a success. So basically, this is purely an issue between your drive and the media. Different methods of formatting could produce different results. One that formats/zeros the entire disc (and checks that has been done correctly via certification) is obviously more likely to fail/error out than one that just takes a couple of seconds to complete.

Nightjar Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thanks for the reply. After the disc failing I gave the disc a wipe and formated again with imgburn, it did the format and 100% zeroing was achieved, the disc now plays fine in my blu-ray players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
