Hello,

I'm trying to re-use some previously burned CDRW.

This is the CDRW ATIP :

I'm using the GCC-4480B combo drive with firmware 1.02.


1) I've tried a FULL ERASE (not quick)
2) I've tried so far 6 different software to erase the CDRW's.

(Alcohol, Nero, InCD, Blindwrite, burnonce, Clone CD)

Normally, i'm getting an LBA error in the middle of each disc.
(Or sometimes the erase job is completed very quickly but visual inspection showing only half of the cdrw was effectively erased.)

3) I've tried 5 different CDRW media. (but from same manufacturer)

4) I could write a cd image, but the job will abort with an error
at random LBA sectors around the middle of the disc.


What could be wrong:

the CDRW Media or the Combo Drive ?


Thanks.

InfoDisc CD-RWs are a little notorius right now for lack of quality. I suggest getting another CD-RW from a different manufacturer
