Hiei449, Welcome to the forum. What brand of media are you trying to burn to? EG: maxell, verbatim, memorex, etc etc...... Open IMGburn, put one of your media your trying to burn to into your burner, click on mode then write. Copy and paste that info into a post so we can see the media manufacturers code.

Many burn problems come from bad media.

Your drive's firmware doesn't support the media you're putting into it - or at least it hasn't been able to initialise the disc on that attempt.

 

This is a hardware/firmware/media issue.

Hiei449, sonic digitalmedia LE v7 is not your burner manufacturer its the proggie your using to try and burn with, Please try and post info log so we can fiqure this out to help you. This could be as simple as updating your burner hardware.

I'm having this problem also, but only when it verifies and only with TYG02's. It'll burn fine, but when it goes to verify, more often than not, it says "device not ready (incompatible medium installed)". The disc will play fine in my stand alone player. It doesn't bother me as I just don't verify with the TY's. These are the white faced printables. I haven't had this problem with Verbatims or the Maxells that are the G05's.

My previous post still stands.

 

For you, it could be as simple as ejecting and reinserting the disc.
