Some Windows users see the “A Disk Burner Wasn’t Found” error when trying to burn an image to the hard disk using the native Image Burner client (isoburn.exe).

After investigating this specific issue, it turns out that there are several potential culprits that could be causing this specific issue:

  • DVD-ROM has no recording function
  • Windows 10 problem
  • Explorer.exe is stuck in limbo
  • Inappropriate / corrupted DVD-RW driver

Make sure the disc is writable

Before trying any other fixes, it’s a good idea to start your troubleshooting by determining if your CD or DVD writer has write capabilities. Please note that if you are burning a CD or DVD with a standard ROM drive, none of the following possible fixes will work.

To find out if your current optical drive can burn CDs and DVDs, just open Explorer, go to that computer and look at the name of the intended DVD drive on the right side of the screen.

If the name of the optical drive includes the abbreviation RW (read-write), it must be able to write to hard drives using the built-in write utility (isoburn.exe).

Update the Registry Editor Settings
