sometimes I get 10 of an item cheaper than 5(total), a mistake on their part

THX ... I missed that part .... will do it tonight .....

I noticed you posted the 3 conn type, assume you don't connect two drives per the post you have discussing connecting the Optic (and/or HDs) drives to the mobo on seperate cables ..... or did I read that wrong too ?

actually uninstall any sonic program, then run

http://softwareupdates.roxio.com/gm/support/tools/roxizap.exe

we started getting ready for this a few weeks ago

upper and lower filters

http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=1532&hl=

recently started using this program to troublshoot burning problems http://www.bustrace.com/products/devfilter.htm for the aspi interfaces I kind of expected crapware to hose them, but it would seem that newer programs like sonic(or clones) are hosing the spti interface as well I have run into th...

but you're not the first that's this has happened to, just so durn inconsistent, like a certain combination of things may or may not kill the burn.

**AlienX69** · 29 Jun 2006, 02:47 PM

Boy I hope you pegged it .... the only reason I say this is cuz I installed Roxio a long time ago, when I first got the box up and running. Roxio came with one of the drives if I remember right. I didn't like Roxio so I removed approx 6 mos after the build, durning another cleanup. So I have to assume that driver has been there quite a while. I used Add/Remove to dump Roxio or coulda used a Roxio uninstall.exe, not sure which. But it's been off the box for sometime....guess this driver stayed behind ..... I'll get rid of it, and we'll see how it goes.

The one thing that did ring TRUE though is something from the link I posted above:

"It is a CD writing driver used by Sonic RecordNow. This software usually comes pre-installed on Dell PCs with CDRWs installed. Removing this file will break Sonic RecordNow. This DLL is also used by serveral other CD writing applications that have licensed the Sonic codebase to write CDs in their own applications. This file can get corrupted sometimes, resulting in bluescreens. If this occurs, delete the file, and re-install Sonic Recordnow."

Seen my fair share of the bluescreen reboots. I will post back in a week or two, maybe sooner... As I will give it a STRESS test after I clean-up/clean-out.

Again THX, much appreicated !!!!

**Chewy** · 29 Jun 2006, 02:53 PM

after you think it's all gone recheck just to be sure and do the regedit

and re-install Sonic Recordnow."

not a good idea!

**AlienX69** · 29 Jun 2006, 03:03 PM

Yeah I won't be doing that .... I just wanted to show you the corrupt and bluescreen ......

Ciao

Chewy, looks as though we (you) got the burning issued squared away. I did a couple of singles and doubles everything went fine. Hope it stays that way....

But .... while the box was pretty much sitting idle yesterday .. I was actually viewing posts on here .... I got a BSOD once again and I missed the stop code ... all I was able to catch was BAD_POOL_CALLER ..... so I still do have an issue ... I googled and saw that STOP 0xC2 is common (but not sure if that is mine) ... one person had bad memory ...I already did MemTest ... it was OK ...

I will see how it goes and see if I get the BSOD Stop Code

At least it looks like we/you cured the burning issue !!!!

THX ... AX
