Why does ImgBurn make blank CDs?!

[aceplayer97]

I have been trying to burn a simple ISO in ImgBurn. Evertime it says it burns perfectly but when I put the CD in to test it I always end with a blank CD. Is there anything you have to do to make sure you don't end with a blank DVD?

Post your log.

Are you using Test Mode?

Hi Ace,

Are you sure you are in "Write" under "Mode"!?!? Just verify that and set your Burn Speed at 8X and not faster and let it rip!

Just some other thoughts:

1. Did you do a clean install of the latest issue of Imgburn?
2. If you did, did you clean out the remains of the old Imgburn from the hard drive and the registry? AND not just remove the program from the ADD/REMOVE
3. Are you using a new CD-R disk? And, NOT a re-writable CD disk
4. Recheck all your setting and options.
5. Imgburn forum can also help quite a bit, I am sure LIGHTING UK checks it out.

Nevermind. I got it all sorted out. Thanks anyway!

I'm new to this. I have been trying to burn an ISO file (2.9GB)to disc using IMGBurn. I am using Windows XP SP3, on a Dell inspiron 6000 laptop (12GB of free space)with Philips DVD+RW discs. After receiving the message that the operation was completed successfully and verified, I reload the disc into the drive and it appears to be blank witlh the message "Free Space 0 bytes, total size 0 bytes". I just use the simple "write" functions of IMGBurn. Can anyone help? I have included the relevant log. (I have removed the full source to remain anonymous but have included the full name of the file).
