Unable to write errors (failed to write sectors)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello all,

 

I just started having trouble after using Imgburn successfully for awhile. It started after an update, but I am having a hard time believing it is the program/burner compatibility....

 

The log will follow, but I use TY meedia...tried another brand and it wouldnt even recognize it (admittedly a memorex RW).... the wierd part is that someone got the exact same sectors and error messages ffor a dell with the same drive a year ago on this forum.... I checked my firmware etc before posting here.... I would love any help you can give!

I 19:40:12 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download :thumbup:

 

 

I had actually already done 2.4.0 and uninstalled an went back to 2.3.2 in case it was something in the program... i will update it as soon as I get a new burner.....it sounds like it might be the problem..ive probably done 200 dvd's on it....

 

anyone have a good recommendation on a drive that will last longer/burn "better" ?

 

 

thanks in advance and I am off to read the faq's in case this was already answered there :)
