I/o Failure...Cannot Write Medium...Incompatable Format

[Darksun]

I know that this question (semi) has been asked and from what I got the conclusion was bad media, which I am prepared to accept. Just wanted you Pros to take a look at this and make sure I'm not messing anything up. I bought a new 100 stack of DVD-Rs (memorx) which are not working. whereas I had Verbatium before DVD-R that did work. Any help would be appreciated. Thx much.

 

This is the not working one, obviously.

Welcome to ImgBurn Forum.

 

(Not so) Strangely enough, the good disk is a Verbatim and the bad one is a Ritek.

 

Does that tell you anything at all?

 

Also, do a firmware upgrade - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2051

Not sure what that meant, BUT...the update to the Firmware made it work, at least for the moment. Appreciate the Help much.

 

Thx.

It means Verbatim = Good, Ritek = Rubbish!

And thats the end of that chapter, star wipe and fade.
