2,297,888 vs 2.298.496 free sectors.

Good Day.  I am trying to duplicate a data dvd. On one PC I have imgburn installed and it indicates that mt blank DVD has 2,297,888 free sectors and when I put that same DVD into my laptop imgburn indicates the dvd has 2,298,496.  I need imgburn to recognise the DVD's  as having 2,298,496 sectors free to be able to hold the ISO's that I have created.

 

When I first installed imgburn on my laptop it also read the DVD's as 2,297,888 but I did something to fix it so that they now read 2,298,496 sectors free.  I do not know what I did........ Even better I just want to know what I need to do to have imgburn always read there dvd's as 2,298,496 sectors free.

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

I have included images.  I don't know if there is a log that would be helpful.

This is nothing to do with ImgBurn. Your drive reports the size.

Thank you for the reply.  When I rebooted my dell E6410 this morning and brought it out of hibernation, the same dvd that was in last night when I put my Laptop into hibernation now reads as 2,297,888 sectors free.

 

Can you tell me why the pc's/laptops we use are inconsistent when reporting the free sectors.  Last night it just changed while I was testing and I do not know why or when but I had not rebooted my laptop.  I use imgburn to make the ISO and then often when I go to right it it does not fit, but sometimes it does....

 

Thanks, for your assistance.

Sorry, I have no idea either. It's just random... but I'm sure the drive's firmware has its own reasons for doing it - you'd be better off asking the people who manufactured your drive.
