codsmith Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have always used imgburn to burn my backups and such, but I have been having a reoccurring problem for several months. I have a burner in my asus laptop, hl-dt-st dvdram gsa-t20l, its an LG from what I find and has no new firmware anywhere on the net. It has worked in the past. I am using brand new DL Verbatim disks and I know it is not the media or the files because I can burn them just fine on another computer. I have tried uninstalling imgburn and reinstalling, uninstalling and reinstalling the drive, making sure all my IDEs are up-to-date and still nothing. Also, I don't have iTunes or Safari and have already seen those posts. I really have no idea what to do and would appreciate any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Try cleaning it. Are the verbatims the 8x (MKM-003-00) ones or the 2.4x (MKM-001-00) ones? That latter are likely to be more compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codsmith Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Wow, I almost don't believe it, but cleaning it did work. Thought I was going to go crazy trying to figure out how to fix it. I feel stupid, but thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Laptop drives get dirty quickly because the laser is always visible and people put their grubby fingers on it (all be it by accident!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
