I know the dvd burn is good because it does play thru the entire disk. but just don't know why it's failing to verify sectors. after the 11th sector failed i just canceled it out.

dontasciime Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Verification is an important part of burning, If you drive is not capable of reading back the data it just wrote it indicates media problem burning problem or the drive is poor at reading back that media. You could try and verify the data on the disc against the ISO in verify mode in ImgBurn[a drive other than the writer] to see if that drive can read it back if that one also fails then the data written is not good. You should maybe consider buy a recent DVD writer as well as yours is getting on a bit now and probably won't support the latest media at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 You're using (low quality) 16x media in a drive that's almost as old as I am. Get yourself some decent 8x stuff (Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden) and you might have more luck. But in all seriousness, now would be a good time to start thinking about buying a new drive.

Kasikker Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 k thanxs guys for the info. I'll try and get me a new burner.

dontasciime Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 drives are so cheap now even people who are bankrupt can afford em. Liteon or Pioneer If you can avoid Sata drives in favour of PATA (IDE) then all the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
