svar Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I am trying to burn a ubuntu alternate iso on a dvd(it's too big for a CD). I put in a fresh dvd, and get this message: Device Not Ready(Unable to Recover TOC) Any hints what this is about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvofl10 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 it means the drive cannot read/recognise the disc .it could be because the disc is damaged or dirty or maybe the drive does not like that paticular type/format of disc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Normally if the drive has 'CDRW' in the identifier it means it's a CD burner and a DVD *reader*. As such you won't be able to burn DVDs. Look in the ImgBurn log window, it'll tell you what type of drives are found. Copy + paste the line here if you like so we can see it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Yup, it's a simple CD burner, DVD reader. If you want to burn DVD's you'll need to buy a DVD burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
