Error Burning, ImgBurn starts then write speed goes to 0%

[westlyc79]

Hi,

 

I am trying to burn an ISO file to a TDK DVD-R disk using ImgBurn. The process starts burning and I see the write process get to 2% then the write speed on my HP dvd740 burner goes to 0. I can still here my HP spinning but nothing is burning to the disk and the only way I can cancel out of the burn is by disconnecting my burner from my laptop. I have also tried my internal DVD burner and I still receive the same results.

Can you copy and paste the full log from ImgBurns' bottom window, please?

Try burning with some better quality disc - i.e. Verbatim (MCC dye) or Taiyo Yuden.

 

Your log shows the drive is having real trouble burning as it's taking 4 minutes for the 'abort' to kick in - and that's only happening because the drive is timing out (perhaps where you say you're unplugging it?)

 

USB is never as reliable as IDE etc but internal laptop drives are normally awful... tough situation to be in!

I will do that when I get home from work today. In the past several months when I used TDK media and ImgBurn I never experieced this problem when burning the write speed just goes to 0 and only a little bit of date is burned to the disk. It is so annoying because its just enough to waste a disk.

That's what happens with bad media. Sometimes you get some good discs, sometimes you get some bad ones...unless they're CMC...those are all bad.

Do as the Boss said and try some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim DataLifePlus discs, you'll eliminate one of the most basic of problems.
