Failed to write sectors? HELP!

[PaperKut]

I've been using imgburn for a couple of weeks now without any problems.

But recently when I burn images, halfway through it says there's been an i/o error.

I cleaned the drive and tried to burn another image but there was still an error.

Here is the log from my last attempt; please help:

 

 

I 20:44:01 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

I 20:44:01 Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition (6.0, Build 6001 : Service Pack 1)

Hi and welcome to the forum, PaperKut!

 

There should be a new firmware HX12 if your computer is a ThinkPad R400, R500, T400, T500, W500 and X200.

Do you know if this computer has nvidia chipset?

Hi Cynthia. Thanks for the welcome. I have an Intel 4 Series Express. I tried downloading the new firmware but it didn't help. I tried burning another disc and got this:

If both 2.4x and 4x don't work, read post 2 again.

Thanks for the advice but post 2 doesn't help me cus I don't buy cheap media. I've been using memorex dvd+r dl's for a couple of weeks and they worked but now I haven't had a successful burn with the last 7 discs.

Well, they aren't working now, are they? Couldn't you buy 5 Verbatim 2.4x (MKM-001-00 dye) DVD+R DL blanks for testing? Alternatively you could get an external burner that can burn your precious Memorex blanks.

cus I don't buy cheap media

 

Memorex is crap....period...this batch was made using

Disc ID: RICOHJPN-D01-67

dye since the brand is simply rebadged from one manufacturer to sell as another brand,

 

Do yourself a favor and try either Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden discs. Since it's DL you want Verbatim (Made in Singapore if at all possible since their other countries of origin are getting a bad reputation also.

[PaperKut]

Thanks for the advice. I bought some Verbatim discs and burning has been perfect ever since.

Good to hear. Also you said the firmware update didn't help, but according to your last log it didn't change...still using old version HX11.
