Write speed Error
I have barely ever had to use my iMac to burn discs or even read discs. The last few weeks have been a massive headache as I've been trying to install Windows 8.1 again through bootcamp and it will not read the dvd with the ISO file on it. As a matter of fact it will not read any disc with an ISO burned on it saying it's an empty disc. I've tried various write speeds (2x, 4x, 6x, 8x and more) on both my Mac and Windows workstation. When I try to create a burn my Windows 8.1 ISO to dvd on my Mac I keep getting the write speed error over and over again, and when I try to read it sees the disc as empty.
The discs I use are Verbatim DVD-R 4.7GB discs and I must have used at least 14 to try and get this to work. For some reason my Mac will read other discs like my printers install disc, and it can burn normal MP3 cd's.
