Gandy Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Hi I tried to burn a 360 game and imgburn finds errors in the verify stage. The burn goes through fine, but it fails in multiply places when it tries to verify. Is this normal? I'm using verbatim media and recording at 2.4x There were about three errors when I got to 21% or so so I just stopped the verify. Here's a log I 15:14:45 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

mmalves Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Where are your Verbatim blanks made? It's written in the packaging. You may want to try burning one at 4x to see how it turns out.

Gandy Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 Try burning one at 4x then Just tried another at 4x I got one error this time around 75%, and a few others later so it's still a decent number of errors. Like I said before I don't know if this is normal for xbox discs or what. I think I've made 3 coasters, which kinda sucks considering it's verbatim. Here's the log again if you need it. There's a time gap in the log just because I let it running for a bit and came back to it a few hours later. I tried burning a different img this time for your reference.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 No, miscompares are not 'normal'. It's weird that you should be getting them at all to be honest. You expect to see errors reading back dodgy burns, not miscompares. It almost looks like corruption - either in memory (test your system with memtest) or with the controller running the hdds/optical drives.

All right I just ran memtest for about 8.5 hours and it didn't find an error while scanning. I thought it might be a memory issue just because everyone once in a while(maybe once or twice a month) I'll get a BSOD. Is there anyway to test out the controller for my hdd/optical drives?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 The BSOD memory dump might actually give you a clue as to what's wrong. You could also try running Prime95 for a while and see if your machine can stand up to a proper stress test.
