ImgBurn Lockup

[xfile102]

Just last night, my burning softwares and proggies all started acting funky. All the tests I do on my drive come out fine, but when I go to burn anything, stuff locks up. ImgBurn, my faithful steady, gets past "Writing Leadin" after about 10 Minutes(????) and then finally times out at 2% EVERYTIME. Here is the log:

What could be the problem? And before we waste time:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
- 2 GB RAM
- Sony DRU-800A Drive (MOST RECENTfirmware)

Other proggies are doing the same thing, Nero, DVDShrink....Only stuff related to burning. I am a total N00B, someone please help..

if dma is on, then your burner may be dirty or going out

with 4 optical drives what about your power supply?

have you burned off that spindle of disks before?

[xfile102]

I took the drive out today and double checked it. I cleaned it as well just in case. The burner is newer, so I hope it's not going out. I was able to burn a series of CD's today no problem. I only have 2 optical drives. A Mitsumi 56X CD Drive and the Sony DRU-800A. The system recognizes it as BOTH a DVD Drive and DVD-RW drive. My whole setup is newer, and the power supply is a 600W so it shouldnt be an issue. Could it be related to other hardware? I am so lost. here is the total setup:
- Asus M2R32 MoBo
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+
- 2 GB RAM
- Mitsumi 56X CD-ROM Drive
- Sony DRU-800A Drive (MOST RECENTfirmware)
- Radeon X1600Pro 512MB
- Seagate 250GB SATA Primary (C
- Maxtor 300GB SATA Secondary (D
- Maxtor 300GB SATA Secondary (E

Is the fact that it recognizes so many optical drives a problem or "the" problem?

[NightTran]

have you change the speed to 8x? max is not a good option to burn

[Chewy]

try the burner as standalone master and disconnect the cd-rom
what brand power supply?
that's a lot of hardware

the sony is a liteon 1693 and most of them have died by now if they have a lot of use?


imgburn has a filter driver load order tool, please post the clipboard

[NightTran]

liteon 1693

better find some old medias and burn at 4x

[xfile102]

Well it may not be the most expensive Plextor out thee, but it has been a GREAT drive, and it has burned almost a Dozen spools of 100 dics no prob. I always use Sony DVD-R, and burn at 16X. never had a problem till now. I have a Thermaltake W0103RU Power Supply. I am just looking for supprt. What's with the "better find some old medias and burn at 4x"? it's not like I am using some old antiquated junker. this is still one of the top selling Optical Drives out there. I use Brand New, HIGH Quality DVD-R of DVD-RW at all times. I have never touched a Ridata, Memorex, Ritek or any other Generic media. I try ot take care of my burner. I burn a LOT, so that is no point in me Spending $200 on a Plextor or TDK Indi, as they will still wear out like any other drive. ** Chewy: What do you mean by "imgburn has a filter driver load order tool, please post the clipboard"? How do I do this?

[Chewy]

thermaltakes are good, I have had several

if you have burned that many disks then I suspect the burner is going out

I just noticed something... In my haste at the store, I bought a spindle of DVD+R Discs. I have never used anything other than DVD-R or DVD-RW Discs. But why would it dislike these discs so much? It was built to use them..

[Chewy]

Use the filter tool remove those extra ones

here's all you should have left after a reboot

turn off anydvd, keep it from loading at startup

actually your burner should do better with dvd+r's

try a burn at 8x if you ever get that mess cleaned up

[soup]

Don't forget you have to set the booktype for Dvd+R media to Dvd-Rom.

I think this is fixed. Will check after reboot.

SOUP: How do I change the Booktype?

[Chewy]

http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html#SOHW-1693S

there is a newer firmware, use the sony id one

make sure your burner is not dead tho first

[xfile102]

Well, it still burns CD's just perfect, but still having problems even after all the changes. If the drive IS toast, any recommendations on a replacement?
