Force "medium present" or "device ready"?
Hello
Does anyone know how if there is a way to access a DVD that the drive it was burnt with will not recognise? The DVD was written with Nero 7 at 4x and UDF 1.2 was used because it is one big file of 4.3GB. The drive is Lite-on DVDRW LDW-811S. This only happens to some discs. I do not think it is brand dependant becuase sometimes it happens and sometimes everything is ok using the same medium. I am using Sony and Verbatim so it's not the worst I should think. Nero verified the discs so that is why I thought everything was ok and deleted the files after burning. Does anyone know what is happening or if there is any way to force the drive to read the medium it thinks is not there? I can use linux if that is better. I have tried it in one other drive, but that drive have issues of it's own. Still I think the disc really is ok if it could only be recognised. Have been using Ashampoo and Discjuggler since without this problem so I am guessing the problem is Nero. Still would like my backups back though. Cheers NYB Thanks for any input. |

There were sprinkles of reports of Nero verify giving false negative, but AFAIK, there was no false positive like your case. What's the Nero 7's full version number? Perhaps you try Nero 6? As for the recovery, try IsoBuster - run it first and then insert the disc. http://www.isobuster.com .. ================================================== = Mike Richter - the Slimiest Lying Friggin SOB (UDF) ================================================== = The slimiest lying friggin SOB Mike Richter has been for YEARS blaming the UDF -- to weasel out the bugs of DirectCD: ------------------------------------------ UDF is a fragile format UDF is an unreliable format the format is very fragile and unreliable The format is bad - it loses data The fault is not with the software but with the format There is an inherent problem in UDF Packet writing is the same as UDF. I have used only DCD for packet writing, have had no problems due to the software - but too many due to the format itself to bother with it any longer. ------------------------------------------ But then again: ====================== From: Mike Richter (the Slimiest Lying Friggin ****) Date: 5/4/06 Subject: UDF Has just bit me in the bum I have used UDF for many years, but yesterday I had my first corruption. I am now wondering whether to bother with UDF First, your problem is not with UDF ====================== ------------------------------- Wow! What a slimy friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------------- Mikey, you are the Slimiest Lying Friggin SOB! ---------------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- (Mike Richter, any Material Connection w/ Roxio?) |
