ASRock 100HT-BD: Can't burn DVD-R using Slimtype BD E DS4E1S - device not ready - medium not present

[rustyx]

Hi all,

I'm trying to burn some files using the built-in Slimtype BD E DS4E1S drive which is supposed to support DVD-R/RW burning, but ImgBurn keeps saying "Device Not Ready (Medium not present)" after I insert a blank DVD. Tried with a few different blanks, DVD-R, DVD+R, all have the same effect.

Does anyone know what's the issue here? Is this even a software or a hardware issue? Any help will be much appreciated.

Chances are if Image Burn is saying "Device Not Ready" then most likley the burner is dead. Double-check your SATA and power connections to the burner but if those are good and the burner is detected in your BIOS/UEFI then Image Burn which obviously "controls" how the drive is supposed to work has unfortunately tagged it as bad. One other thought is that there are upper and lower filters within windows that might be causing the conflict and rendering the drive within windows as not useable google should give you what filters are bad...

Good Luck
