I/O Error! Interpretation: Check Condition

[Emgoodie]

I have mad myself about 20 useless dvds in the last 24 hours. I keep getting an I/O Error! It seems to happen more often with 2 of the 3 different DVD-R medias that I have.

The Error Msg looks like this:

 

I/O Error!

And this is the IMG Log:

Update your drive's firmware.

 

http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/SOHW-1693S/files.html

 

Burn at 8x or 12x

 

Buy better discs.

I downloaded the file from firmware and used winzip 12 to open it. But when I open it and click run, I am getting a box that pops up with : Acess Denied! You must have administrator privilege to flash drives.

I don't know why it would say that. I am on my Windows admin user account.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Try it in safemode or something.

[Emgoodie]

Okay, now that I have lowered the write speed, I am getting this in the Img Burn Log:

I 15:20:47 Synchronising Cache...

You really want to get the firmware update file working before messing around with anything else.

[Emgoodie]

OK, I updated my firmware and I slowed my burn speed..but still getting errors. The disc will play up to a point and then it starts skipping.

Here is the log:

Read the last line of post 2.

 

You want Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden media.

 

Failing that, a new drive... possibly after you try cleaning the insides of your existing one.

[Emgoodie]

Yeah, Verbatim and Memorex (only the printable ones) seem to work well with my drive. Oh well...what to do with all these dang crap dvds...hmm

Thanks for all the help!!

I get the same kind of error but on the last line mine says for Interpretation: Cannot write Medium - Incompatible Format

 

I am assuming it is the dvds I bought...Memorex DVD+R DL. I didn't realize they were so corrupt. I've ordered some Verbatim. But just in case, does the error message above refer to the DVDs? I tried all 10 in a pack and got the same message each time.

 

Right before I got the I/O message I got this message:

Set LO Data Zone Capacity Failed!

Reason: No Seek Complete

 

What does that mean? My computer is capable of burning double layer dvds...I've done it before with Verbatims. Thanks.

Starting a new thread and posting the log would allow us to help you better.

what to do with all these dang crap dvds

 

Well...you can hang them in the garden to scare birds away...use them for target practice...coasters...driveway markers...hell, there's a lot of things you can do with them...
