quixotic25 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) I have tried burning an ISO image onto several DVD-R disks which I know for certain to be brand new and am getting "Disk Not Empty." I have tried this on two separate computers with DVD burning drives and both give same message. Im using Memorex DVD-R Disks.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Do both machines give exactly the same info? What other cd/dvd related software do you have installed? I really can't imagine both machines would give exactly the same info if the discs really were blank - assuming no other software is messing with the info returned by the drive. Does it recognise originals / previously burnt discs properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quixotic25 Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 ok, I just cracked open this stack of new cds. First 2 cds gave the Disc Not Empty message, Third disk just worked. It is beyond me why that happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Maybe someone had those discs before you and took them back because the RITEKF1 dye is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchall8 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Maybe someone had those discs before you and took them back because the RITEKF1 dye is shite. And then they replaced the torn paper label and put new shrink wrap on the base and cover. In my case the DVDs could not be more fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 the discs aren't good, look at the tests made in the media section, the results show this. buy some quality media like verbatim or taiyo yuden if you can get them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 dchall8, Are you and 'quixotic25' the same person? If not, why are you in this thread? If you are, why do you have two users?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
