kevdriver Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 (edited) 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. example below PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108 1.20 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-ROM Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 1,702,278 Size: 3,486,265,344 bytes Time: 378:19:03 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x Pre-recorded Information: Manufacturer ID: MXL RG03 Recording Management Area Information: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Book Type: DVD-R Part Version: 5 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: 1,898,885 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Many burn problems come from bad media.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill7621 Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 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.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 My previous post still stands. For you, it could be as simple as ejecting and reinserting the disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
