baracuda68 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hi. I am trying to burn Ubuntu 7.04 using an old HP 7500 CD Burner. I am using a blank Imation 700MB/80Min CD-R. I am getting a message saying: There doesn't appear to be enough disk space to burn this image. Img size:357,323 Sectors (697MB) Disc Size:295,264 Sectors (576MB) Would you like to continue anyway? Here is the info in the info field: HP CD-Writer+ 7500 1.0a (ATA) Current Profile: Unknown (FAILED!) Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 295,264 Free Space: 604,700,672 bytes Free Time: 65:38:64 (MM:SS:FF) Last month I burned Xubuntu 6.10 iso just fine onto a disc. Maybe that file was <576? Here's the info on that: HP CD-Writer+ 7500 1.0a (ATA) Current Profile: Unknown (FAILED!) Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 270,385 Size: 553,748,480 bytes Time: 60:07:10 (MM:SS:FF) TOC Information: Session 1... -> Track 01 (Mode ???, LBA: 0 - 270384) -> LeadOut (LBA: 270385) What gives?

Shamus_McFartfinger Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 There doesn't appear to be enough disk space to burn this image.Img size:357,323 Sectors (697MB) Disc Size:295,264 Sectors (576MB) It sure doesn't look like a 700MB CD, regardless of what it says on the box. Here's one of mine. PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D 1.15 (ATA) Current Profile: CD-R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 359,844 Free Time: 79:59:69 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 10x, 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x Free Space: 736,960,512 bytes ATIP Information: Start Time of LeadIn (MID): 97m26s66f Last Possible Start Time of LeadOut: 79m59s71f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Your drive is misreporting the size of the disc. Just try and burn anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Your drive is misreporting the size of the disc. Just try and burn anyway. I never tried burning a 700MB/80 minutes disk with that old a cd writter? 2000/2001 and HP has no support for it either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I agree. A new DVD writer can be bought for next to nothing these days. It wouldn't be a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been considering a lightscribe drive. Can I use these discs that I have left over, on a lightscribe, even though I can't print the label on them?

I'm not sure a Lightscribe burner is such a good choice. The media is more expensive and is often poor quality. Why not get a "normal" burner? The money you save from not having to throw lightscribe media into the bin would pay for a printer capable of printing directly onto your disks. Something like a Canon ip4200 (link here) or similar.
