virtuman1980 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) I burned 2 previous Memorex DVD+DL 2.4x disks (comes in pack of 3) without problem using my LG GSA-4163B burner. Unfortunately, on my lastest burn, it failed. It seems the problem was "Failed to Write Sectors 2129792 - 2129823 - Tracking Servo Failure". What does it mean? And how can I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for any help or advice. Here's the log: I 00:40:57 ImgBurn Version 1.1.0.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Easy one this... don't buy Ritek DL discs. Go for Verbatims. Update your drives firmware too. You should be on A106 now, not A102. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfcrule1972 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 They are around ?3-4 here in the UK but they are worth the money, the other DL's are not as reliable as the Verbs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grain Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Not sure where you're from but Verbatims are very expensive over here in Canada, it costs about US$10 per disk and they rarely go on sale Check out blankmedia.ca virtuman, they have 10 Verb +dl's for $32CAD.
