Device Not Ready (Unknown (0x06,0xF4))

[chris.]

Just downloaded ImgBurn so I can burn an ISO file on to a DVD(obviously right?). I insert a disc, it won't let me burn, and it says: "Device Not Ready (Unknown (0x06,0xF4))" at the bottom.

 

Log says:

I 20:21:17 ImgBurn Version 2.2.0.0 started!

I 20:21:17 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2)

I 20:21:17 Total Physical Memory: 1,039,660 KB - Available: 405,576 KB

W 20:21:17 Drive D:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB in size.

I 20:21:17 Initialising SPTI...

I 20:21:17 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

I 20:21:17 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD?RW!

 

I'm thinking some sort of problem with the drive itself? I just finished burning an audio CD no problem. I don't understand.

 

Any ideas? I'll give you more info if needed.

That's the whole of the log? What media are you using?

Yup, that's the whole of the log. The 'Write' button is grayed out.

 

I don't have the discs in front of me right now, but I believe they are HP Lightscribes +Rs.

You drive doesn't support the media and won't initialise it - or at least it didn't when you last inserted it.

 

Eject + reinsert. Does it say the same thing? If so, yeah, it doesn't support it.

 

You'll have to get some other discs.

 

You should also check and see if there are any firmware updates available for your drive.
