jaques Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Trying to use an old burner for DVDs for the first time. Works fine with CDs. But I cannot get it to recognise an empty DVD. It always comes up with the message 'Disk Not Empty'. Any ideas. Thanks. From 'Device' after loading disk: SAMSUNG DVD R/RW SH-W08A 1S31 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x; 4x; 8x Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2,491,711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: CMC MAG-M01-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2,491,711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 It doesn't appear to be reporting the disc info properly. Notice it says 'Status: Complete' rather than 'Status: Empty'. Try looking for a firmware update for the drive.

Try looking for a firmware update for the drive. Yes, I checked that earlier - it is the latest. It does report a blank CD correctly, for what it's worth. I'll try a different DVD medium tomorrow.
volvofl10 Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 on a side note is t possible that the disc you used has soemthing on it, or has been used previously for a failed burn ?
