Hey, I downloaded a legit copy of the Windows 7 Ultimate (the hashes match). However, when I tried burning the image with Roxio, right when it was finished burning it gave me an error at the end ("There was an error during the process, please insert a new disc and try again". I don't get why its not burning it properly. One reason could be that the disc I'm burning it to is a DVD + RW, which has been erased a couple of times. Its not just this Windows 7 Ultimate ISO, other ISO's of different versions of Windows 7 give me the same error. If anyone could help me out that would be great. Thanks.
Have you tried any other burining software other then Roxio, I know Roxio is known for having burn errors.
I've hardly used my burner, its been used on a yearly basis, like last year I burnt 4 backup discs, and the year before that the same thing. I hope its not dying lol. It reads and writes other discs fine. I'll try getting a new disc and see what happens, if not then
Have you tried UltraISO? Or is that what you meant to say? UltraISO worked for me after a few failed alternatives.
It could be that the module that tells it to write to DVD + RW is going out. This can make it not burn to those specific type but still works with other types. My old drive stopped reading CD-R disks but still worked fine with DVD-R disks. I was then told that my drive was going bad that is why. BTW most standard drives are not too expensive. I bought a Mega Format LG drive for 50 USD and it works perfectly.
Yeah I'm going to try Ultra ISO, if not then a new DVD disc, and if not then a new drive. Thanks for the help.
Don't believe in what the manufacturers say how many times a DVD can be R/W. My experience with a couple of good brand names can only be re-used for five or six times on average, some are even shorter. I do think your dvd is dead!!!
