E_IMAPI_RECORDER_MEDIA_UPSIDE_DOWN
IMAPI surfaces this device/media condition separately from “no media” and “incompatible media.” The recorder has detected media but reports the disc as upside down, so software-side image validation or format selection is not the relevant recovery path.
Require physical media correction before retrying
- Stop automatic retries while the same media state is reported.
- Tell the user to reinsert the disc with the recording/read surface oriented correctly for the drive.
- After reinsertion, perform fresh media-support checks because media-change notification can invalidate cached state.
This result should remain visible as a specific hardware/media instruction. Mapping it to a generic I/O error leads users to change permissions or source files that cannot affect disc orientation. If the same code is reported with correctly loaded media across multiple discs, collect the recorder model and firmware revision for hardware investigation.
