i have repeatedly failed to burn about 680MB of files into a cdr. 3 times in a row to be exact. each time i get the message in the attached picture. anyone know what causes this and of the solution? it happens about a third into the write process. thanks in advance!
That's why I always burn an Image file first prior to burning to CD or DVD. At least if the burn screws up, I don't have to start over from scratch since it's the encoding to image that takes a while.
Something like this also happened to me before--several branded DVDs in a row. I thought I had a bad batch. My solution was to reboot the machine and then burn. Things went well after that.
You just throw it away. Only happens once in a while. Do a disk repair permissions (disk utility), restart computer then burn again.
I have an old G3 iBook with a combo drive that refuses to burn anything. Toast displays same error as well. Roxio's support pages document it as a hardware glitch. I'm hoping there's a way to upgrade the firmware of the combo drive to get around this problem.
the restart solved the problemo. thanks for the replies. mond, ive thrown away a huge pile off failed discs. there should be a way or a purpose to recyle these.
