Phylock error writing to DVD

Post by borate »

IFW verified that a W7 partition image to a hard disk was valid. I attempted to burn the same image to DVD set.
About ten minutes into the process it failed with a Phylock "increase cache" error.
Direct-to-DVD writes have always succeeded in the past without incident.

The same error has been seen before when writing to a hard disk, and is always resolved by reinstalling IFW cleanly.
In this case, that had already been done.

Bingburn - burning the same image to DVDs - was next. Yet, as you may note in another post, that failed as well.

The scorecard: one coaster for the direct-write attempt, and an incomplete set of three discs for the Bingburn try.
Suggestions welcomed on how either of these methods can be made to succeed.

You can check the .log to get the error and adjust as needed...

The IFW.log did not contain info on that attempted transfer.

Retried the direct-to-DVD approach from another drive that contained more free
space than the drive used in the initial failed attempt (920 Gb vs. 67). Perhaps
that made a difference. The burn succeeded.
