I/O Error

[Genocide]

Whenever I try and burn a Fedora Linux ISO to a DVD+R or a CD-R using my DVD burner, I get this error:

I get it instantly with the DVDs but it takes about 20 minutes to appear for the CDs. The CDs stay at "writing leadin" with 0kb/s for the whole 20 minutes.

 

Sorry I dont have a log, it takes a long time to replicate.

change media , see if there is firmware update to drive, try DVD-R.

Change media again if you substituted poor media for other poor media.

 

Try some Taiyo Yuden, or Verbatim ty media or mcc.

I have tried Memorex Dvd+Rs and Verbatim CD-Rs but they dont work. Also Windows Update cannot find new drivers for my DVD burner and my search on Google turned up nothing for this burner. I also tried Memorex CD-Rs as well but they came up with the same error.

Please post a log from one of those attempts (the log is saved automatically and you can find it at Help/ImgBurn logs). By the way, to check for newer firmware for your burner go to Tools/Drive/Check For Firmware Updates.

Taiyo Yuden CD-R's are the only ones I use. I never found Verbatims to be any good - or certainly no where near the TY ones.

There is a 1.11 update for your drive
