When I try burning with ImgBurn or Nero 7/8 I receive "Unable to recover TOC" message.
My burner is 2 years old, LG super multi GSA H55N.
Firmware is up to date.
I use good media, "sony" "maxwell".
The problem occurs on what ever I try to burn, or even copy.

Please help with my problem, although buying a new burner is an option.

Hear is my ImgBurn log file.

Hey OP, try to look through the ATAPI codes listed here: http://www.bhacorp.com/support/atapi/errors3.html. You might be able to find the cause of your burning process failure.

Also, you may want to try great alternatives like ImgBurn and Totally Free Burner.
 
You said the burner was 2 years old, so when did the problem start?
If it is looking for a TOC, seems to me that for some reason it thinks it is trying to add something to rewritable disk that has already had information written to it before.

Problem started a month ago, but now it occurs on every disk. Each and every time.
