ImgBurn I/O Error

[Strat]

Hi All,

Any help on this one would be great. I'm thinking its a problem with the drive. I've previously been able to burn dvd's onto dvd -r's (with probably 1 in 10 coming up with an error) but now it doesn't allow me at all. I have used many different types of media, but ever since it started being a real problem, I've bought some Verbatim dvd -r's because of their supposed higher level of quality. Still, I get nothing but error messages. I have also made sure my firmware is up to date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Here's a typical log:

 

I 13:03:57 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started!

I 13:03:57 Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2)

If you have nothing but bad burns now, even with quality media, you'll most likely need a new drive. That one is getting a bit old now.

 

See if a drive cleaner makes it better.

Thanks for your help. I tried cleaners and they didn't seem to do anything, so I've just gone and got a new internal dvd writer. Haven't tried it on anything yet as I haven't required the use of it yet, but it seems to be doing a better job in common activities than the previous one. Fingers crossed, all my problems are solved.

Thanks again.

 

Update-The new Sony DVD Writer does the job!
