DVD burned, Not recognised, seen as blank

[hevydani]

Hi,

I have burned a 3.2gb DVD, at about 4x, in 8 mins.

 

Seems a bit fast to me, anyway, when it completed, i opened the disk drive, closed it again, and nothing happened.

 

The disk is not being seen at all in "my computer" and imgburn reports it as a blank disk.

 

 

I can see the data on the DVD on the underside, so I am really stuck. i cant find anyone with the same problem,

Let alone a solution to it.

 

 

Please help!

Welcome to ImgBurn Forum.

Very poor quality media. Get Verbatims or TYs.

 

Don't forget to verify after your burn.

We suggest you use Verbatims or Taiyo Yudens for burning, these have codes similar to MCC, TY and YU, respectively.

 

It's also a good idea to verify your burns, because ImgBurn makes sure the disc is recognized before verifying.

Thanks for the quick reply mate, its appreciated.

 

I shall take your advice.

Also, your drive is probably a BTC - if so, you can update your firmware.
