My work's Lenovo W530's internal drive doesn't burn discs fully.
Hello.
I have had this Lenovo W530, from work, since June 2015. I finally started using its internal Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ8C0 (SB01) disc drive to burn to small old CDs (unused CD-Rs & CD-RWs) recently. However, IT's preinstalled 64-bit Windows 7 EE SP1's system image creator and downloaded ImgBurn v2.5.8.0 (with a downloaded 247 MB ISO file) could not fully write to my CDs. I had no problems erasing my old CD-RW. I tried copying a very old burned 650 MB CD-R to its local SSD, and it was fine. So, it sounds like this physical drive has write issues? Or is it something else? Thank you in advance. -- Quote of the Week: "The ant's a centaur in his dragon world. Pull down thy vanity, it is not man... Made courage, or made order, or made grace,...

This is CD rot and quite common on cheap CD-R brands. I used to use no-name brands for years and checking the ATIP information on the disc, they were usually CMC Magnetics and the discs were bad after a year or two. Since then I moved to Taiyo Yudens, bought a whole distributor case and haven't had an issue to this day. Hope that helps, Joe |

So far, no coasters. -- Quote of the Week: "Even the ant has his (her) bite." --Turkish Note: A fixed width font (Courier, Monospace, etc.) is required to see this signature correctly. /\___/\ Ant(Dude) @ http://antfarm.home.dhs.org (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \ Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ / Please nuke ANT if replying by e-mail privately.

Officemax falls into the cheap category, I used to use the Staples ones and anything from that time is mostly unreadable now. I'm not sure in windows how to check the atip, in linux just run cdrecord -atip and it will tell you the manufacturer of the disc.

So far, no coasters. That's always a good thing to do, Will add newer supported disc types. Good to hear it works again! Joe |
