Failed to Write Sectors 0 - 31 - Reason: Write Error

[arussell87]

Hi all, 

 

I purchased a brand new Asus Bw-16D1HT Blu-ray burner.

 

There is no new firmware update available, I have tried TDK BD-R and Verbatim BD-R 25GB Discs.

 

Both chuck out the same error. Failed to write sectors 0-31.

 

Here's the log. Thanks.

I see the verbatim discs you're burning there are the cheaper LTH ones. Stick to HTL if possible.

 

If the drive is having trouble burning to several different (MID) discs, maybe it's faulty?

Thanks for the reply.

 

I thought the drive could be faulty also, I will change them over tomorrow and post an update.

 

Thanks again.

I swapped it for a Samsung external writer this morning and it has wrote to both the Tdk and Verbatim discs. Problem solved.
