unspecified target error

[pantaloon]

Hi folks this is my first post on this forum.like many others i am also a victim of UTE [ unspecified target error ]
Before posting this thread i did go through some of the steps mentioned by fellow members howerver that thing is still not working.
I am using acer 3212 with 700mb of RAM

Done
Checked DMA [ dm shows primary ide & that does show DMA ]
Removed primary ide
Burned the DVD after letting the laptop cool down for an hour.
installed 6.6.0.18
disabled norton anti virus
tried new media
tried diff kind of data [ actuall i am burning DATA dvd.]
burn an ISO image
update firmware [ firmware not compatible ]

Not done
Defrag
Check disk for errors [ coz he has the same model laptop & he can burn on the same media that i am using ! ]

Here is the new log file after installing 6.6.0.18

Read and implement the Golden Rules of Burning.

In particular, change to Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden media.

Thanks mate but m in india u cant find these brands here.
FYI..m using moser baer

[cynthia]

Is it a Toshiba computer? There seems to be a ver 1.52 of your firmware for that burner. The only problem is that it's easier to find the snowman than to find the page where you can download that firmware...

[pantaloon]

Its acer 3212 with M A T S H I T A DVD-RAM UJ840S

[pantaloon]

Thanks cynthia, i have tried this site before as well but its TOO SLOW.The indian site never opens.Will try it again n update u

[blutach]

@pantaloon - MB is a manufacturing facility for Verbatims. Search for them.

Acer australia site did work howerver nothing useful there.just basic info & a good-for-nothing databse.
I also wanted to let u know that it all started when i noticed that the write speed remained at 2.4x [ greyed out ] so u couldnt change it.
Now when in nero i selected the data to be copied > clicked next > there it would tell me the default 2.4x.Now at that point if i eject the dvd it would immediately show alternate speeds.Any idea wats goin on.

[pantaloon]

Guess what, i cleaned the drive with philips DVD lens cleaner & voila..it worked.I am a happy man with happy feet now successfully burning dvd's.Howerver the write speed still is greyed out at 2.4x.Any info on that

Thanks for all ur help

[soup]

Should maybe take a look at ImgBurn.

[pantaloon]

Thanks soup, but the DVD burning problem is fixed now.I am still trying to figure out why the WRITE speed is greyed out.
