nero didnt work
i then used image burn and went to tools then drive and tried to close disc didnt work gave me some crappy error
i then used image burn and went to tools then drive and close track it did something and then it let me close disc without the error i popped the disc in both xbox and it worked on both samsung and hitachi
kewl i thought and proceeded to close the track and disc on all my coasters and guess what
i now have 13 perfectly working discs which i was gonna throw away aint life a bitch
anyway i dunno if someone else has posted about this but it worked for me hope it works for you lot
and yes i was using verbatim discs maybe this will work on other disc manufacturers too
i have no idea why it works but it did and thats all i care about

so you closed the track then closed the disc ? weird huh my friend who recovered 5 discs also has the pioneer burner maybe it is hardware dependant although 6 of hes were unrecoverable

Weird that the burning does not have the closing done properly. Try to burn with ImgBurn. Everytime you will see the 'finalizing' part ... So such issue ...

ive been burning on the fly using clonecd and ive discovered which discs are recoverable
basically when clonecd finishes burning the discs pop out with some crap music
however i noticed that the ones that fail dont pop out even tho clone cd says it finished writing successfully
these are the discs that can be recovered and the good news for me anyway is that today i backed up my gears of war using ridaata cheapos and i was able to recover the disc using image burn close track then close disc
so its not just verbatim u can recover
ive also downgraded to 1.23 firmware it does seem to be more stable
also guys try all your coasters not one or two my friend recovered nearly half hes dead discs even if u can recover a small percentage its at least something
good luck
