IMAPI_E_IMPORT_SEEK_FAILURE
IMAPI_E_IMPORT_SEEK_FAILURE is a block-positioning failure in the filesystem import path. IMAPI needs to seek to recorded blocks on the source disc while reconstructing the previous session; the HRESULT identifies failure to reach the required block rather than a logical type collision or unsupported filesystem feature.
Record the source device and failing import stage
- Preserve the recorder and disc identity used to configure the multisession interfaces.
- Log the filesystem selected for import and any earlier media/device HRESULTs.
- Retry only after checking device readiness and media stability; repeated seeks to damaged or inaccessible areas can fail at the same position.
A seek failure is distinct from IMAPI_E_IMPORT_READ_FAILURE: one fails positioning to the target block, while the other fails reading imported media data. Do not start by editing the destination filesystem hierarchy. The source transport and recorded medium are the primary diagnostic context, including device resets, media replacement or stale multisession interfaces created for a different disc.
