I/O error - logical block address out of range

[alibeth87]

Can anyone help me? I have absolutely no idea what this means. I burned a bunch of DVDs three months ago (like 50) and they all work great and I haven't touched my burner since. When I went to burn these DVDs I used the same pack as I did three months ago and the same program and everything. I have no idea what's changed. I've tried it four times, the last time writing at 16x instead of AWS, like usual. Here's the log:

Hi Ali,

I am not so great in reading these logs ... BUT ... why in the world are you trying to burn at 16X.

Laptop Burners are maxed out at 8X (last time I checked).

Your Error messages is telling me you are burning too fast and your hard drive is having hard time keeping up with the burn ... do this and post back ...

1) When Burning DO NOT do anything else with your laptop ... No Surfing or running other Programs.

2) Update from IMGBurn 2.4.4.0 to 2.5.0.0 ... I don't think this is your problem but it won't hurt.

3) Burn at only 4X ... and see if it completes the Burn. Then try nothing Faster than 8X even if your Burner can go 16 or 24X or whatever.

Post back your results please!

G!

Gonwk, he is using an external drive Via the Esata port. But to get the best burns, never burn the disk any faster then 8x, just as Gonwk recommend. The slower the better.

It seems you have serious 'slow hdd' syndrome!

You should probably try repairing the status of DMA on your machine by uninstalling the ide/atapi controllers from within Device Manager.

Even if it's not DMA, you still have issues and your burns will suffer due to all the stop/starting you're making the drive do.

I 15:12:00 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MCC 03RG20) (Speeds: 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x)

3x, 4x, 6x and 8x are the only speeds supported by your drive/firmware/media combo, you can see them listed right there in the log. They're also visible in the disc info panel on the right when you're back on the main Write mode screen.

It doesn't matter if you select 16x or 56x, the drive will only ever burn at its maximum - i.e. 8x.
