Krokanrull Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) I'm trying to burn an iso file in ImgBurn... Write mode in ImgBurn. But I can't burn, I get the "Device not ready (Medium not present".. And I have an empty DVD+R disc inside, TDK DVD+R. The E:\ is called "HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4164B" This is the log: I 19:38:06 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started! I 19:38:06 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2) I 19:38:06 Total Physical Memory: 1 048 044 KB - Available: 452 636 KB W 19:38:06 Drive D:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB in size. - Hmm? I 19:38:06 Initialising SPTI... I 19:38:06 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 19:38:06 Found 1 DVD±RW! What should I do to fix this? Any help would be very appreciated.

Krokanrull Posted December 27, 2007 Author Posted December 27, 2007 It's not the same as the one I have? His is: HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-4164B and I have GWA not GSA. Hmm, is it a big difference or?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 Get different discs. Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.
Krokanrull Posted December 27, 2007 Author Posted December 27, 2007 I tried Verbatim disc now, but nothing happens on my computer when I put the disc's in.. No box with "what to do". Still the same on ImgBurn; "Device not ready (Medium not present)"
dontasciime Posted December 27, 2007 Posted December 27, 2007 same principle look for firmware update In your case http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2279 But double check as like everyone else I make mistakes
Krokanrull Posted December 27, 2007 Author Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) E112, E113 or 1.05? Which of those links should I use? Edited December 27, 2007 by Krokanrull
dontasciime Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 depends on the firmware already on your drive, which firmware has your drive got already post log
Krokanrull Posted December 28, 2007 Author Posted December 28, 2007 Do you mean the ImgBurn log? I 01:17:57 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

volvofl10 Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 in WRITE mode go to TOOLS , then DRIVE and choose "Check for firmware updates" on the bottom row it will tell you what firmware your curently using. if its a E*** then use the next E(number) firmware from the list and work your way up to the highest E(number) firmware available if its a 1.0? then use the next 1.0? number up from yours, until you get to the highest number shown on the list dont have a disc in the drive when you do it, and make sure the power supply doesnt get interupted whilst doing it. the simple way to decide is .whats your PC ?, a Dell or a fujitsu ? if its dell then use the E number firmware , if its a fujitsu use the 1.0* firmware
Krokanrull Posted December 28, 2007 Author Posted December 28, 2007 (edited) "BTW, your current firmware version is: 1.02" The PC is an Acer. So I should get the Fujitsu then? 1.05? Edited December 28, 2007 by Krokanrull
chewy Posted December 28, 2007 Posted December 28, 2007 it's not looking good here 1. drives out of warranty???? if not return it 2. oem/crossbrand to start with, not good 3. not seeing verbatim and the drive is fairly modern post a filter driver load order, I would probably clean house and only leave imapi and redbook test if that doesn't help then try the firmware, nothing to lose at that point, the drive is probably toast But double check as like everyone else I make mistakes Donta is human? Next you all will tell me there's no Santa Claus.
Krokanrull Posted December 28, 2007 Author Posted December 28, 2007 I removed ImgBurn and MagicIso. I think I cannot burn anything anymore on this PC. So I'll rather burn on the laptop instead.
hobbes241 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I have found a solution to this problem... (Even using crap Memorex DVDr's) I found that running the "burn Image to disk" WITHOUT "Verifying" works good. Once the image is burned successfully, THEN "verify" the copy. IF you do get a "medium not present" error... click on the "eject cd tray" button, and then "load" it back in.. this should take away the "medium not present" notice on the bottom of the window. Once verified (as a separate task!!!), the disk should work. I was having tons of trouble and just burned 3 .iso files in a row by verifying the disk separately! GL
mmalves Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Care to say which burner and firmware you have? You can post a log from a burn if you want
spinningwheel Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I have found a solution to this problem... I think you have found a work around and not a solution. Memorex is crap, pure and simple. Even if you fudge your way around the proper process and get it to verify for you, there is no guarantee that the disc will either play in your system or last too long if it works in the first instance.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I would also say that's a drive specific error. At the point where ImgBurn cycles the tray after write/before verify, the drive just isn't picking the disc up again correctly. Cycle it again yourself manually and there's as much chance of it working then as there is if you cancel, cycle the tray and then do a standalone verify.
Fantastical Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 see here http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=5598&hl= Im kind of new to this and well I have the same problem but my firmware is 0.67 what do I do?

Start your own thread and post the log from that burn (look in ImgBurn's Help menu).
