Bad media? Bad drive? Something else?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Heya, now been reading quite a few posts about this error(or part of it), not sure exactly what to make of it. I suspect my drive has gone bad... I did buy some TDK media, just to test, but dumb as I am, I didnt check...so bought some DVD-R (DUH!).

I'm considering a new burner, as this is really annoying, got suggestions on a new burner?

 

thanks =)

I would try burning the media at full speed if you've not already done so.

 

But yeah, it could just be that your drive has died.

 

Take your pick as to what to buy next... Plextor, NEC, Pioneer, BenQ, LiteOn. Any of the new models of decent makes will do.

What's wrong with the -R media? Your drive should handle it.

 

It might say so, but it does not support DVD-R =)

Check out Tools --> Drive --> Capabilities to see what your drive thinks it is capable of.

I did this, I just misread it! I read DVD-R DL as DVD-R. So yes the drive is supposed to be able use DVD-R.

But it wont, so its properly broken (or really bad media). ImgBurn says in statusbar: (device not ready - tracking servo failure)

 

Time to order a new drive =)
