E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_NO_MEDIA
IDiscRecorder2 represents the physical drive, while format operations separately inspect the media currently present. A recorder can be initialized and fully supported with an empty tray; this HRESULT is the media-presence result from that device state.
Handle media insertion as a distinct precondition
- Keep the recorder selected instead of rebuilding the COM object solely because the tray is empty.
- Prompt for media and re-query current media support after insertion.
- Do not report this as
E_IMAPI_RECORDER_REQUIRED; the recorder exists and is selected.
Media can also be changed between capability checks and the operation itself. Revalidate the current medium close to Write or EraseMedia rather than relying on an old UI scan. If the drive visibly contains a disc but repeatedly reports no media, capture recorder identity and device readiness information.
