I can't read/write/verify/discover any disk!

[White_FoxDELTA-1]

Hi, I just got a DVD Burner, a LITE-ON DVDRW LH- 18A1H to be precise.

Technically its a Player/Bruner of DVD+R DL. I bought 5 blank DVD+R DL from Verbatim, but i have two error type when i try to do anything with it. I also tried reading other disk, and nothing so far. some protected from copy, other that aren't. 

I tried erasing since it's the only thing i can do.

Here's the log :

You could try changing the I//O Interface, but I doubt that will help.

Tools --> Settings --> I/O tab --> Page 1 --> Interface    Try each one one at a time and see if it gets better.  I'd recommend you close and restart ImgBurn after each change of the I/O Interface.

 

However, I'd lean more towards the drive you're using.  It's most likely either defective or just a pretty poor device.  You may want to try a different make, model, and manufacturer and see if it's repeatable.

 

You're also using a half height drive in a USB enclosure, it looks like.  Or that drive was bought as an external.  The LH-18A1H is a half height model, but you could have always bought it as an external version that came in its own enclosure.  Either way, I'm saying the problem could be the USB enclosure.  If you're using a separate USB enclosure you bought yourself, what manufacturer and model is it?

Why are you trying to erase dvd+R DL discs? You can’t.

[dbminter]

The first log portion shows it's a DVD-RW.  I failed to notice that before, but that could be a key point.  This drive may not be a DVD-RW capable one.  It may not write to DVD-RW, only DVD+RW.

 

Oh, wait, just now noticed the 2nd portion of that log said it was trying to erase a DVD+RW.  So, it can't be that.

You can pick the disc type when erasing. It isn’t showing a mid so I’m only going by what the Op said they’d purchased disc wise.

[dbminter]

I hadn't thought of that, so it's entirely possible the OP is attempting to erase WORM discs, which may explain the failures.

 

To the OP: attempt another erase of a disc but copy and paste the log of the operation in its entirety.
