scfonta Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 I have gotten write errors with my first 2 discs, one at 17% the other at 48%, followed by Invalid address error. For the second try, I rebooted, ran with no other applications, no anti-virus, no firewall, no net and with a slower write speed (went down from 6x to 3x). I tried to close the second disc, but that failed too. I was able to play some of the dvd so not a total failure... I am using verbatim 8x DVD+R DL AZO discs on my Dell xps L502x (Windows 7) with PLDS DVD -RW DS-8A5SH dvd hardware. The driver is up to date. Nearest as I can tell, the firmware is also up to date (Dell says newest firmware). When I double check at firmwarehq I get 476 matches for my drive and have no way to tell which model/manufacturer matches my hardware. (Anyone know how do I figure this out short of opening laptop?) I only have 5 discs and have trashed 2 so I really want to get it right next time! Try different discs? The code imgburn generated for these is Taiwan MKM-003-00. (My drive says it only goes down to 3x write speed so I am not sure that I can try 2.4x discs.) Try safemode? Thanks. Imgburn Log is below: I 12:40:21 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Same problem at 4x? You could try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc.
scfonta Posted June 16, 2014 Author Posted June 16, 2014 Dear Lightening UK, I had the same problem at 6x & 3x in different places on the disc (3x got a lot further). I didn't try 4x. Should I? Does this look like one of those errors caused by random drive/disc issues? Unlikely to be imgburn issue? Since my last try, I have re-installed the firmware and dvd driver, and cleaned the drive lens with 99% isopropyl alcohol & Q-tip. Will the cleaning disc do anything beyond this? I don't want to try burning again until I have a reason to think I will get a different result! I think I have the sort of discs you'all generally recommend. Should I try the 2.4x discs even though my drive only goes down to 3x? Any other sort of disc I should try? My laptop is running hot so I plan to take it apart to clean it, mostly because it seems like a good idea rather than I think it is causing the write problem. Also, I plan to try the burn after a clean boot (seems better than trying in safe mode?). thanks again
