wave103 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hello I have had numerous problems with my DVD drive in my acer laptop for years. I have now decided the time has come to do something about it, I have been able to burn music CD's using media player for awhile but I am now trying to burn a DVD. I made the DVD using Cyberlink power director and tried to burn it from there. That didn't work and the disc came out as being blank! I then made what i wanted to burn in to a DVD folder and then downloaded imgburn to see if that would burn it. I have tried a couple of times on numerous speeds using Tesco's DVD+RW that didn't work, when i put them in the computer in "my computer" it says its a cd and had 0 capacity and 0 space left! I have read the forum and FAQ and i went and purchased some verbatim DVD+rw. Still no luck i have tried them a couple of times on 4x and 2.4x and still are blank, imgburn formats them before it burns and then at the end of every unsuccessful full burn is comes up with a error saying "logical block address out of range" I am now not sure what to do at all! Hope you are able to shed some light on this situation, Thank you for your time. I 15:54:45 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 The best thing you can do is get yourself a decent external drive. Laptop ones are never any good and I guess yours is particularly bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the DVD drives in newer laptops be any better? This one is about 2.5 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Best results are in most cases to get an external USB or similar ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
