I’ve just been looking at some of the older DVD’s I’ve burnt and the most recent was a DVD-R, which burnt fine.
When I attempt to burn using Imgburn I get the message ‘Disk Not Empty’, this is whether I try to burn an image or a single file. This has happened multiple times with various new DVD’s.
When I click on the DVD drive after putting in a blank new DVD, I only get the option to set it up like a USB Flash Drive, and the option to set up like a CD/DVD Player (Mastered) is greyed out.
I’ve also booted into Ubuntu, and still unable to burn one of these DVD’s, cuz I initially thought it was a windows problem.
Any feedback or idea’s would be appreciated. If I’ve omitted any required info - just ask & I’ll do my best to supply it.
Sorry for long post - can be a real pain having to read through too much unecessary stuff.
Many thanks
