Trouble creating a start up disc.

**Chewy** · 27 May 2006, 11:51 PM

Usage: DVFLASH filename.xxx

dvflash 260d.bin (or something to that effect)
at least you got it to boot, that's a big step, I haven't done a firmware
flash from dos for an optical drive in years

hey, the good part of this, is it's the same procedure for flashing a computer bios, and I do that all the time

**oppi1983** · 28 May 2006, 12:20 AM

right, its updated my firmware, i just tried to create a dvd and it failed again. now i have my dma on, the newest firmware. it keeps coming up power calibration eroor. whats that?

It seems that you already have the newest firmware for your DVD drive (version 2.60).

There are "Sense Key: 0x03 (KEY_MEDIUM_ERROR)" and "Power calibration error". I suggest that you should try the better brand of DVD media such as Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim. If the problem still doesn't go away, you may need to clean the lenc or a new burner is needed

Regards

**Chewy** · 28 May 2006, 01:13 AM

do you have any other rw's, I don't trust them very much, that brand is fine, but that disk may be a goner, and your burn is failing right away

**oppi1983** · 29 May 2006, 06:02 AM

Still trouble burning a dvd.

Right i think i have now got further than i had before. I have enabled my dma, updated my firmware and now got nero 7. whereas before it was failing right at the start it now gets to 100% but then fails. this is my error log

oppi1983, at this point i'd seriously try and see if you can find the means to get a new drive. you can get a good one, (and suggestions on which are best) for less than you might think. i do sympathize with your problem.

if you have got any suggestions on which drives are best, considering i'm in the u.k with not a huge budget. thankyou
