Device not ready (No reference position found)

[Loki]

Ok I've been backing up my Xbox 360 games, I set up the layer break (1913760) and book type, DVD+DL, DVD-ROM etc I did the first 5 no problems all burnt first time and played fine, then I start number 6 and get an error, don't ask me what for I've lost the log tring to sort the problem out, now I browse for the ISO ect put disk in, and end up with this error "Device not ready (No reference position found)" I have tried using a different disk with no joy, I have also tried burning an audio cd using Nero, again no joy, it seems like my drive is not reading media anymore. My drive is only a couple of months old, any help would be good, I've seached here and I've seached on the net and can't seem to find anthing around this area, I've tried restarting and uninstalling ImgBurn and reinstalling it, device maneger says "This device is working properly. Windows did not start a related device driver. To learn more, click the Driver tab and then click Driver Details." I've got the lastest updates for the drive ect and have no idea whats going wrong?

I think thats about all I know that could help you to help me work out this bizzare problem

Verbatim is the ONLY media ( DL) that works right,you had 5 good ones fair enough but the next 10 can be bad before you get another good one ,there is also a playback issue with cheap media, after awhile it cant be read or when played freezes , pixilates etc

 

if it doesn't read any discs then try a lens cleaner but maybe its gone bye bye, it happens but its probably new enough to get it replaced

No I don't think its the media cause I can't ever burn an audio CD with a normal CDR, but more likely the burner has packed up

If it won't burn any media (even decent Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden discs) and just shows that message, yeah it's probably the drive

lol it won't ever read disks let alone burn them, I'm going to see if I can borrow my brother in laws drive just to make sure if it is the drive, if so I'm gonna get a Pioneer DVR-112 without the D, I've heard that these are very good for backing up Xbox 360 media
