Creating discs of recovery, says "the disk you inserted is not empty", but it is empty

Windows Vista Home Premium, SP2. HP G60 laptop.

I (finally) created recovery disks. When I insert a DVD - RW disc, I get an error message: "the disk you inserted is not empty. But it is empty. I tried to use disks formatted and unformatted, but no luck. What to do next? I don't want to try CD, because it'll take 17 of them (against 3 DVDs).

Thank you

Hello:

You might want to try a DVD-R or DVD + R vice a DVD - RW.

  • iMac G3 Tiger Installation "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer.

    Hello

    I try to install Mac OS X Tiger on my iMac G3 slot loading 400mH. The system is compatible all I checked before installing. I was able to start on the first disc very well. It is installed properly, until he asked for disc 2. When I put in the disc, it turns a little, and then do absolutely nothing. It just sits there even ask for the disc. After having let it run all night, I decided that the only option was to hold the power button. When I turned the machine back on, it gave me the error "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer. He then ejected the disc.

    What are my options?

    One thing I forgot to mention, is that I have created these disks under windows with a program called TransMac. It was the first program that I found which could create for Mac bootable discs. The fact that he created the first a perfectly fine leads me to believe that it is not my Windows and Mac computer. I could be completely wrong, and if so what is a better program. I am not of any other Mac other than the G3.

    Thanks in advance!

    400mH

    256 GB RAM

    120 GB disk with Mac OS 9 and OS X Panther (I'm trying to update for Panther)

    Historically, the Mac have trouble starting from system disks burned. As you say, the first one worked, so you might be on the right track. Have you tried to make a new second drive from the same program? Maybe there is a media problem or an engraving error.

    The other problem could be the source of installation of Tiger. Apple has distributed never freely as each copy that you find on the internet - free or paid - are pirated and may even be compromised. It happened more than you think. There are a lot of reports of people for an OSX version here as an internet download and even pay for it, only to find that it works at all. I've seen downloads Mac OS offered for sale even on sites like eBay (I point out them).

    So this begs the following question - where did you Tiger?

    If we get that worked, we ned to continue what I have some experiences with Panther and Tiger on the iMac of the same model which can be useful

  • HP Laserjet P1102 by USB "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer.

    My HP Laserjet P1102 used to work properly with OS X10.10. Then he started to say (now I'm on osx 10.11.4) "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer" whenever I have the lit, but the printer still work. What should I do?

    I tried with this solution HP Laserjet P1102w by USB "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer ' Ec Capitan osx's option"repair disk permissions ".

    I can't say if it will work, and it may even be harmful, possibly to the point of making your mac unbootable, so be careful - all the least have a clone of your system disk. If you start using the internet (Command-Option-R) recovery mode, and if your mac is a model that existed prior to El Capitan, it could be that the disk utility you get in this collection is the old version, including the order of repair permissions.

  • My MacBook Pro shows "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer.

    After taking my external hard drive WD 2 TB to my best friend for a few days and connecting via USB to its player Samsung Dvd/multimedia, I now have the message above after plugging back on my MacBook Pro. I tried so many difficulties, I found online, but nothing has worked. I even tried to type the command Terminal fix "diskutil repairDisk/dev/disk" and received the message "error repair card: MediaKit reports the wrong partition or no map found (-5324).

    I've seen suggestions of using Disk Warrior, but that seems a little hit and Miss wise success and I can't really afford. This HD were thousands of files on it and was also my Time Machine backup disk. I really want to erase and reformat, but I don't know what else to do! Can anyone help? My MacBook is a model 13 "of 2012 and the HD is a year older. Never had any problem with before this. I realize I should never be plugged on the Samsung device now.

    I eventually found a solution myself. In the case where it happens to someone else, use a program like EaseUS evaluation edition to see if your files are still there and CAN be recovered. After much research, it was clear that the question was a mapping problem caused by plugging the hard drive in the unit of Samsung Media and my MacBook could read is no longer. I ended up using Disk Warrior and it was set to 100% less than an hour. No need to format or restore data to another drive.

    Lesson learned - if you use it on your Mac, connect on something else!

  • Question about creating discs of recovery on the new desktop

    you just bought a 8 hp pav p7.1003wb office gig / 1 TB hard drive. Windows 7-64 bit, that I will need to make recovery disks because they are no longer included.

    should I have separate recovery of my regular backup discs? and what is better to use ie., cdr - rw, flash drive, and it should be 1 TB? I have a 16 GB flash stick that I currently keep my personal files. I looked at a few external drives too and just confused myself as to what I need. Currently, I got for my old desktop (a gateway 2001) which came with recovery disks and then I would back up all the files that I had to keep on my flash stick.

    I'm sorry I'm a little computer illiterate, and I can't follow the rapid technological change and hope someone can explain to me on my level... Thank you!

    Part 1, the medis recovery was a very simple question:http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867124

    Please be advised that it is not on DVD + R media. Shouldn't RW.

    Hello

    Some computers have E: as the recovery instead of D partition; to reinstall the OS if necessary, due to the failure of the system or faults

    Click Start > computer to see what size drive E: is and what he says on this subject.

    If she says it's the recovery disk and / or if it is under 15-19GBs it is the recovery partition and you must contact the manufacturer of your computer for assistance with this problem.

    Another reason is there to make you your own set of recovery of the disk. Ask the manufacturer how to.

    If it is not the recovery drive, please after return.

    See you soon.
