Device Not Ready (unable to recover TOC)

[maxmike87]

What is this error telling me? I burned 3 dvds last night, got up to do some more this morning and when I put a blank dvd in and upload an image, it won't let me do anything. Just gives me this message, Device Not Ready (unable to recover TOC), at the bottom.

unable to recover TOC means the drive cannot read the disc ( TOC = table Of Contents) . The TOC tells the drive whats on the disc and how to play it and what order basically.

If the drive is unable to read it, it means it cannot read the disc.

 

Options open to you are;

update firmware and/or use better quality discs like taiyo yuden or verbatims

 

check your in "Build" or "Write" mode as well

 

if you can get the drive to recognise a blank disc, post a log file for us
