ImgBurn Error - DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) Failed!

[pink_candies]

I recently burnt two DVDs and when I tried to burn a third one, this error came up. And that goes for all of the DVDs I'm trying to burn.

Can anyone tell me what's up?
Thanks

You likely have another program running that is interfering with ImgBurn. It could be windows media player or similar. Also make sure you don't have InCD installed as it can cause problems.

Here is a link to your error and solutions by the author for more details.

Oh, thanks! You're great!
But now I have another error.
It started and began to work for a secong but another error came up saying:

What's wrong now?
I've closed all programs.

[Dan]

Can you post a burn log please?
It may be a firmware or media issue but a log would surely help.

[pink_candies]

I don't know how to do that.
Could you tell me how to?

[Dan]

Open ImgBurn, select Help at the top and select ImgBurn logs.
(You can just copy and paste to make it easy)

Cool. Thanks. I think this is what you want.

Your drive is not the best in town. Either way, either it doesn't like the disks, or you got a bad one. Check your DMA is on, too.

Regards

I 22:03:17 Write Speed: 16x

Just because a disc says 16X on it, doesn't mean that burning @16X is a good thing. Check out the Golden Rules in blutach's sig.

Seems to me that series of HP drives has been known to have an issue or two.

You might have to try a few types of media to find one that works good all the time. Slowing the burn speed down as mentioned will help a lot too.

(You do have updated firmware though)

[pink_candies]

Yes, there seem to be a lot of problems with my burner.
I fixed the issue with the Windows Media Player in the background and it worked, but other issues seem to be arising. Sometimes the disc fails to burn. Other times it burns, finishes, the disc ejects, it begins to do something and says an error, but the disc is perfect. Other times the same happens but it doesn't burn basically anything. Other times it burns more than otehr times, but still fails to complete.
I used to burn the MDS files, but I tried the ISO and everything seemed to be fine.
I really don't know what's going on, and that's really hard to fix the problem.

You should avoid running any programs while burning. Programs like wmp can interfere with a burn like you already found out.

When the disk finishes, ejects and then starts again that is likely trying to verify the burn. (optional)

Trying burning at 4x for a few burns with no other programs running and see if you can get a few consistent burns.

i have had that come up on the past few movies i have backed up.. and i just hit continue and they play fine..

[Dan]

Had what come up?

If you are referring to errors during the verify process of ImgBurn, then there may be problems with the disk even if it seems okay.

[zaveon]

i had this error come up
DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) Failed!

so what do you think the problem is.. i didnt use to have this problem.. just on the last three back ups.. i have had this problem but i dont have the log.. but the next time i back up something i will keep the log to show you guys
