LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Because you're using inferior discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 But it seems that the drive is unable to read any discs,even those which are playing fine in my IDE LITE ON Burner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Can it not even see an original disc? (i.e. in 'Read' mode) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blutach Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Then either your drive has had it or there is something funny going on with that JMicron controller. Is it connected via that controller? In any event, switch to Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim blanks. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thanks blutach Well the drive is new and it is connected to the Motherboard's SATA port. Rest I am not really sure of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Can you test this drive on another computer? Or with some SATA-to-USB adapter or something similar. Anyway, it does seem the drive is defective, and not being able to read pressed DVDs is a strong sign of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Sorry can not check that... I do not have access to any other computer. and not being able to read pressed DVDs What exactly do you mean by pressed DVDs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOCOENG Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Have you tried to plug the drive into the SATA port your Litey is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 The LITE ON is always plugged in my IDE port. I just bought the ASUS SATA Drive and plugged in the SATA port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Ok, here is a little update, The error displayed in the Log of ImgBurn is not because of Disc Quality, it was because of my ODD. The burner was faulty and I got it replaced from ASUS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 That's was a lot more obvious once you told us it couldn't read originals in posts 3 and 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
