Burning Sat Nav Disks

Hi Guys
My son's friend snapped my sat nav disk in three on Sunday by accident (Still very ****ed off though), my question is does anyone know what type of CD media to use as at the moment I have tried maxel cd-rw but it doesn't work.:doh::doh:
Any suggestions greatly received
I have images for 10 different area disks

dvd

It is a CD unit that is fitted not a DVD so dvd's wont work I'm afraid

What does it say when you try to burn them?

They burn fine and verify fine but the unit in the rangie wont accept them

I take it the Rngie accepts the ones you are burning from. Maybe it's the discs you are using, i have had burned discs in mine they work no problem. We are talking the Carin unit here are we?

You need to burn the disc at the slowest speed your machine will do and if there is a an option select mode1 burning method. Using a CD-R disc is fine, but it must be burnt at the slowest speed, like 1x

Burn them at a slower speed?

Yes it is the Carin system,at the moment I am trying to source an origenal disk to to take an image from as the images I have at the moment I downloaded from the net.
I will try a slower speed and some different media.

What disk's were they plus , minus r,rw etc.
cheers

Just a thought.......

Are you burning a disk image or copying the files onto the new disk?

I would imagine that it has to be a disk image i.e. where the whole disk is an identical replica of the original. If you just copy the files, the disk is not 'identical'.

Sorry don't know i bought the disc off eBay ready done.

It's quite possible the CD drive won't read a rewritabe disk (ie CD-RW).

Try some CD-R media.

Finally cracked it yesterday bought some Verbatim disks and tried them. They work perfectly without any hitches, thanks for all the help!!!.
If anyone would like copies of the images for the 2010 10cd set just pm me and I can send them to you veer emailconfused:if I can work out how to attach a file, might try as a .rar) or p2p software
