I have tried burning another DVD at a more sensible speed which was 8x... however, I'm still using the same media DVD-R Sony 4.7gb and not Verbatim yet.. just to see what would be the outcome and this was what I got: I 20:32:14 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started! I 20:32:14 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 20:32:14 Total Physical Memory: 981,480 KB - Available: 393,604 KB W 20:32:14 Drive D:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB in size. I 20:32:14 Initialising SPTI... I 20:32:14 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 20:32:14 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD

ok thanks alot LUK I'll try that out in a bit but I don't really get to why it would work best if the "unable to lock volume" is on the screen as it is reported an error? just trying to understand.. if you dont mind.thanks

Yes, I really get no results when searching for 'cdrom' which was why I searched for 'E' and gave me the results... It's been a while since I burned DVDs now... as I am waiting for Verbatim coming in so hopefully the next time I burned it would be 100% successful.. And when the error "Failed to lock volume for exclusive access" pops up Am I suppose to do the search for 'cdrom' or Am i suppose to do that even before I start burning? and I noticed everytime I get the error " Failed to lock volume for exclusive access" it would be at like 40% .... sometimes 80% (which sucks) and after getting that error... I end up losing that 1 more extra disc as I do not use a rewritable one.. Is there any way to avoid wasting an extra disc ... (eventho I highly doubt)

I am getting the ubable to lock volume message.. and currently I am trying to fix it through the FAQ if anything I'll post it up...thanks

Thanks for the notice, and after reading the FAQ, I'm a little confused Well I know that this is my error: which you said that another program is using the drive (which I get it) and after using ProcessExplorer and did the search as you said.. This was the part I was confused... I didnt just find 1 thing... I found 34 things running... so the question is should I close all of it? (or would that disrupt my computer system) as in would it harm it in anyway? - just curious thanks...

Hi, Does the following log says that my media has supported writing speed of: 4x,8x,12x,16x ? and that I burned it at a speed of 2x? So I'm guessing where it says Write Speed: (This would be the speed that I asked them to burn it at?) And since I think I burned it at 2x and not the supported writing speed Would this to why this operation was unsuccessful ? im kinda new to this.. so I'm trying to learn..thanks guys I 09:19:35 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK, So For Log 1: I would try to burn at 8x speed and post up the results as For Log 2: I don't get what I'm really supposed to do.. I read it up on FAQ and did as what you say.. except when I search up "E:" on Process Explorer, I get 36 matching items ( after clicking 'Find' -> 'Find Handle') as when I search up "cdrom" on Process Explorer, I get 0 matching items And you said to click search on it... which I did and understood it too.. But Should I like terminate all '36 matching items' or not? cause I'm worried that it would corrupt or maybe disrupt my entire computer system Is it safe and would cause no harm? thanks...

I was burning at 2x speed.. I'm wondering if 8x speed would be more sensible?

Hey guys..ok I went through the logs that I have and I realized that I have 2 different errors... This is one of them: I 09:23:34 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started! I 09:23:34 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 09:23:34 Total Physical Memory: 981,480 KB - Available: 502,424 KB W 09:23:34 Drive D:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB in size.

Yea that too..thanks and btw... what is DMA ? heard about it somewhere and have no idea to it... how do I enable it to? thanks loads

Thank you so much guys As for the log I'll post up a couple as soon as I stock up on more blank DVD-R I'm planning to get Verbatim as I heard that that was like one of the best media Previously I used Sony DVD-R and recently I wasted like about 25 dvd's or maybe more(which pissed me off) ... as I keep getting an I/O error... I'll post up a log for that too.. so whenever I burn ..its like I'm taking a risk... so I wanna change that too.. I'll keep you guys updated..thanks so much

From what I have read so far... I've noticed that people say to burn a DVD at a really fast speed, ex:16x would result in a blurry/bad playback and that burning at 2x speed is much safer and the results are clearer in a way Are both of these true? And also considering that some people may burn a DVD in like a matter of 5 minutes... And since my burning takes like about an hour to an hour and a half and that everytime when I try to burn a DVD with a speed greater than 2x I get a problem... anyone have any solutions to this problem.. it would be appreciated thanks..

Oh ok, thanks I'll post up a log of it if this error occurs again thanks

At first, ImgBurn works well for me.. but after a while I keep getting this I/O Error and ideas guys? I/O Error Device: [2:0:0] HP DVD Writer 740b ED24 (E:) (ATA) ScsiStatus: 0x02 Interpretation: Check Condition CDB: 2A 00 00 02 47 80 00 00 20 00 Interpretation: Write (10) - Sectors: 149376 - 149407 Sense Area: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 80 04 00 00 00 00 Interpretation: Unkown (Vendor Unique) (0x80, 0x04) I'm wondering if its my media or my burner? I use Sony DVD-R ... I've successfully burned several with Sony DVD-R but now I get errors all the time If its my media is it recommended to use Verbatim? Please leave any advice to a successful burn thanks
