Mugsy Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) I just purchased a blank 50GB BDRE disc (TDK 2x) off eBay, which I'm testing to verify if the disc is any good. The disc appears new, and was unformatted (took me 6 hours to format and zero the disc at 2x speed.) Now I'm trying to fill it up to test it, by writing nearly 50GB of random data (recorded .wtv video from my WMC folder). I had to use "UDF" format in order to record some of the largest files. The write process went fine (over 3 hours @ 0.9x speed), but verification is producing the following error: "Failed to read Sectors ####### - #######. Reason: Illegal Mode for this track." The verify process didn't halt (I did get a "Cancel/Try Again/Ignore" dialog after about 18 minutes) and is continuing despite the warnings. So is my disc bad, is this a drive problem, or do I just need to try a different format? Thx.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 If it burnt at 0.9x, you must have formatted it with spare areas enabled, which in turn enabled hardware defect management. When that's enabled, you really shouldn't be having problems reading the disc (i.e. during the verify phase) as the drive's write process is supposed to ensure sectors are readable and remap them if they aren't. I'll await your log...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 The various 'erase/format' related options are in the Settings on the Write tab. There's a newer version of ImgBurn btw.

Found the setting. I'll test it again tomorrow (4 hours to fill & verify, ugh). I normally only bother to upgrade every other version. Thx.
