TDK BD-RE 50GB shows as Drive Empty?

[Alan111S]

Hi

 

Thanks for an excellent program.

 

I have a question. I have a TDK 50GB BD-RE which was half-burned. I have been having a little trouble with my Matshita UJ-220S drive and this disc had a 'Check Condition' error half way through burning. Although Imgburn offered to attempt to finalise the disc, I thought 'What's the point' and I didn't choose that option. Now if I put the disc in the drive, the drive reports Drive Not Ready (Medium Not Present).

 

Does this mean the disc is completely useless? I was hoping I could erase/reformat it ......

 

Is there any tools that would allow me to 're-format' it?

 

Thanks in advance

If the drive won't see the disc then there isn't much you can do.

 

Look for a firmware update for your drive or try just ejecting / reinserting the disc a lot... maybe it'll fluke read it!
