Burn error

[beachbumm33]

hmmmmm, I uninstalled ImgBurn today then reinstalled, and my settings came as I just described......all I burn is ISO's....just a movie duff here, lol

[Chewy]

soup's was off, turn yours back on, dvdd and other programs can also turn it off

it's on my default

turn off verify, no point in verifing and scanning both

[beachbumm33]

turned autorun back on in the registry, auto insert notification unticked in ImgBurn, verify off as well.......

do i have it right now chewy?

[Chewy]

auto insert notification ticked in ImgBurn

just to try?

guess it's all up to us to run this to ground?

[beachbumm33]

I'll try it........one burner works fine with the current settings, one doesnt, no clue what the problem is

I won't bother you with it anymore.

Of the reading I have done on this error, the common denominator is firmware. I know this is not ImgBurn but we all know what ImgBurn is.

Solution:

Update firmware
DMA
Crappy media
Burn slower

You also might find this interesting, again I know it is not ImgBurn.

Thanks Soup, I've read that before and Ive googled it, read about it on cdfreaks, and ImgBurn forums, seems to be a difficult problem, so many variables.

I have the newest firmware, dma on, using sony mij's ty02, and am only burning at 4x

It will work a few times then the error, then reboot or unplug and it works, oh well.....lol....I have definately come to the conclusion that it's not ImgBurn as well....so I'll quit wasting peoples time with this problem.

I'll just flash it back to the HP firmware and use it as a reader, lol....i'll pick up another burner sooner or later, my other lite-on is working great

[soup]

so I'll quit wasting peoples time with this problem.

It is never a waste of time trying to solve a good problem IMHO.

[NightTran]

how about burning at 8x and 8x only? try dif spindle if you can sometime it just a fault disc ( TY still not 100 proof)?

might try the official firmware first

not sure you can go back to HP's

[beachbumm33]

I can try the 8x only.....ive tried ty's at 4x and 8x and verbatims at 8x.....all dvd+r


Im using ty's from the same spindle in my other liteon burner and they are working fine

what i dont get is the burning some of the time problem, then pce error, then unplug power directly from the drive, or reboot and it works

[beachbumm33]

thats the firmware i have on it now chewy, not sure if i can reflash it using the bin file of the original hp firmware i saved

thought about trying the HL05 instead of the HL06 firmware.....just for sh*ts and giggles, but I dont want to flash this thing too many times

[NightTran]

I burn every thing at 8x, so I know when it bad and what is bad, you may have a bad flash may want to do it again make sure the cable is good I mean make sure

[beachbumm33]

thanks Night, I've flashed it three times already, once with both burners installed from safe mode, once just in windows, and once with only the problematic burner installed in the system, from safe mode

I bought a new cable Saturday evening and replaced it, but havent redone the flash since installing the new cable

[NightTran]

cable could lead to many thing
