Burning an OS System Repair Disc; Stuck at LeadIn?

[ayumichin]

So, I have lost the admin password to my Windows 7 Professional 64 bit laptop. Currently, I am using another computer to burn the disc to create a Repair Disc in order to reset the admin password.

 

After a tedious adventure, I decided to use ImgBurn and used this tutorial for my OS disc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVDyZKHqE1k

If it helps at all, I am using a SONY DVD+R 4.7GB disc. My DVD RW Driver (E:) is up to date.

 

Here's my log:

Try at 8x and/or on some other discs.

Wow, that was it? Thanks so much dude, it's starting to burn. I'll wait to see if anything other error happens, though.

So yes, my track record of running into problems has not stopped: I have yet reached another error. Apparently ImgBurn cannot finalize my disc. Here is the log:

Your drive doesn't appear to be a big fan of those 'SONY-D21-00' discs.

 

Others may work better... or you could try cleaning the drive.
