Burning ubuntu to dvd

[spacerocket]

Hello!

 

I just installed ubuntu from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop and now I have an empty dvd disk in my dvd player. I chose write image file to disk and after few seconds it sends error message. Strange.

Your drive isn't seeing that disc correctly (at its full capacity).

 

Try another new disc.

I have tried another disk but the same problem remains!! What could it be. Earlier I burned some other Linux-distro with Imgburn to a disk and it worked fine.

Put a new disc in and copy + paste the disc information from the box on the right of the main window please.

 

Whatever the problem is, I very much doubt it's anything to do with ImgBurn. It'll be some issue with your drive/firmware/media combo.

 

TYG02 are great discs though... so unless they're fake, I don't know why they'd be to blame.

Are you 100% sure that's a new (never attempted to use it before) disc?!

 

The free capacity on it is exactly the same as the source image you're trying to burn... and I really can't see that ever happening.

 

So try some other discs... try every disc in the spindle. If they all come up saying they only have '452 096' sectors free, something is broken somewhere.

Now I tried other disk and this apparently failed too... In the end it said: set L0 Data zone capacity failed!

Use a single layer disc.

[spacerocket]

Thanks for help.

 

If there is some internet store available to buy correct dvd disks from can you post me a link?

[spacerocket]

I bought new dvd and tried with that and that too ended up in failure. It says all the time when verifying the disk device removal detected! The dvd drive is fine and connected to my comp. I tried infrarecorder and this too says that no disc device was found on my computer. That`s strange.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Can you post the log from that burn/verify op please?

 

If the drive is vanishing from the system in the middle of an operation, it's either a bad connection (cable etc) or the command is timing out and the system is resetting the bus - causing the disconnect.

[spacerocket]

After the first image it says initializing disc..

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Your drive is now reporting that the disc has 452111 free sectors. That's another completely abnormal size.

 

Get another brand new disc off the spindle, insert it in the drive and check the disc info in the box on the right again.

 

If it still says the same for 'Free Sectors', your drive or system must be broken.

 

Try booting into Safe Mode and see if the same thing happens.

 

You could update the firmware on the drive too and see if that fixes anything.

Ok when I updated my firmware. I went to safe mode and then when I choose verify disc the program repeats Initializing disc and No devices detected. If I go back to normal mode it can`t once again verify the disc, though when I choose write image file to disc there is Disc information: free sectors 452 096.

 

I used DVD-R (Intenso 4.7GB) disc should it be DVD+R ?

 

My friend used the same DVD driver and managed to burn ubuntu to a normal DVD so maybe my computer/system is broken?

 

My comp is brand new so that is guaranty issue then.

See if you can get hold of another drive to try on your system. Try other USB ports and cables too if you haven't already done so.

[spacerocket]

Yes now this worked thx I tried other USB port. Now I have installed ubuntu 13.10 with DVD without deleting windows, though for some reason I can`t see ubuntu 13.10 in boot loader. There is actually just the windows manager boot loader(with only windows). I tried easyBCD 2.2 but that didn`t change anything.
