[infamouskiller]

Well I can Read dvds and cd but imgburn is broken i have reinstalled windows and still am getting same error.

 

All my dual layers wont burn.

 

Gives the error NO reference position Found.

 

I burned 10 discs from this same stack Verbritim.

 

And numorous Files is my drive dead.

 

I also reflashed severel times and checked my DMA.

If it won't read some discs properly then yes it might well be broken.

Can you tell me wtf no referenc eposition means i didnt find any answers

It's just an error the drive returns.

 

It must be having some issue initialising the disc - locating a certain something on it or whatever.

 

Until the drive initialises the disc, no software can access what's on it - so you're totally out of luck.

is it odd for a drive to just die could it be my media if I can burn a regular dvd shouldnt a dual layer plus r burn?

 

I just burned a disc 2 days before from the same stack.

Where are your verbatims made? Singapore? (check the box/spindle/case).

 

Burning a DL would be different to burn SL. I really couldn't say if 1 works that the other should do to. I would guess that the drive has to be more accurate for a DL burn.

 

Can the drive read the DL's you burnt the other day?

 

Can it read any DL discs? Originals (i.e. a pressed DVDROM) or otherwise.
