I would have suggested the back up method but as you've managed to back up on other media..............

Anyone else??? This is the first time that I've heard of ritek not working....Unless they are some wierd non ritek dye ritek media.


Unless.....U said that if u burn at 2 speed they work but not at 4 speed.......Is yr DVD Burner set up as a master ide drive or slave......Seems wierd that it can't complete the burn.

What system does yr pc use an have you got burner in master or slave port on ide bus?
I'm currently using windows XP professional on NTFS, HDD is Primary Master, burner in Secondary Master. Yes when i burn the disc at 2x, it works perfectly, but not at 4x, There was once that even burning at 2x gave me a problem, but I reckon that it's a defective media, (There's always a same percentage of media problem)

Yes I've managed to backup using other media with varying speeds, I've tried TDK -R @ 2x, +R @ 4x, all are working fine. I'll be trying some Taiyo Yuden 2x later this week.

I've even suspected the disc are not original ritek, therefore i run dvd identifier on it and it states Ritek, on the inner ring of the top side there's even this RIDATA branding.
