E_IMAPI_ERASE_DISC_INFORMATION_TOO_SMALL
E_IMAPI_ERASE_DISC_INFORMATION_TOO_SMALL points to malformed or insufficient device response data, not merely a nonblank disc. During erase preparation IMAPI inspects disc information reported by the optical drive; the returned structure was shorter than required for the operation.
Collect drive, firmware, and media compatibility evidence
- Record recorder vendor, product ID, and product revision together with the physical media type.
- Re-query media support for the erase format and compare behavior with known compatible erasable media.
- If the condition follows the same drive across media, investigate drive firmware or device compatibility rather than file-system contents.
The public IMAPI error reference specifically associates this result with a READ DISC INFORMATION response. Erasing or recreating a filesystem image in software cannot repair a truncated device response. Avoid treating it as equivalent to E_IMAPI_ERASE_MEDIA_IS_NOT_ERASABLE: one says the drive reported insufficient command data; the other says the medium is not erasable.
