Huge ISO file

[GHodgson]

Hello all,

from a modest 727MB disc I'm getting an ISO file a little in excess of 33GB.  I assume it must have something to do with the missing sectors, but is there a workround?

 

Thanks in advance.

Your drive must be misreporting certain disc info.

 

Can you copy + paste everything from the info box on the right when you're in Read mode pleas?

ImgBurn uses the 'Track Information' reported by the drive for these things and yours claims the 'Logical Track Start Address' (LTSA) is 16580608 rather than 0.

 

If you have access to another drive, try reading the disc in that instead.

 

If you have a Dell machine, this firmware update may fix the issue.

Thanks for the prompt replies and assistance. For the record that Dell firmware update is specific to the DH-16A6S drive and I couldn't Google a reputable source of firmware for the DH-16ABS, so I've worked my way round some of the other PCs in the office and struck lucky third time round using a HP laptop.

You could try ImgBurn's firmware update check feature.  I can't test to make sure right now as I'm formatting a BD-RE DL so it will take about 90 minutes and the drive is locked so I can't check.  I believe you right click on the drive in the drop down list for target drives and there should be a check for firmware updates option there.  LUK can be more specific if you haven't tried this feature yet. 

 

 

Turns out my memory was right.  It's the last option in the list.

Sorry, I just googled 'DH-16ABS firmware' and that was the first link. I didn't even notice Google had given an incorrect match. Glad you got it sorted anyway.
