okay well thank you for all your help thus far.

i posted it already, my mistake i leaped before i looked. ha

Duh Me Property Value Manufacturer Dell Computer Corp. Model 0CF458 Serial Number ..CN708215AF0429. North Bridge Intel i865P/PE/G/i848P Revision A2 South Bridge Intel 82801EB (ICH5) Revision A2 CPU Intel® Celeron® CPU 2.53GHz Cpu Socket Socket 478 mPGA System Slots 3 PCI Memory Summary Maximum Capacity 4096 MBytes Memory Slots 2 Error Correction None Warning! Accuracy of DMI data cannot be guaranteed

okay which category is it under?

Yes that is what I did...and what I posted is what my drives said after I had done that.

I understand this but I dont know exactly what I am supposed to do after that "DMA if available" was already selected. this is how it looks, i doubt it'll help but I'm lost. Device 0 Transfer Mode: DMA if available Current Transfer Mode: PIO Mode Device 1 Transfer Mode: DMA if available Current Transfer Mode: Not Applicable

Here is a more detailed guide. http://www.cdrlabs.com/forums/how-enable-d...ures-t7625.html okay well i followed the instructions my transfer mode was already set to DMA if available but I tried clicking it again and pressing okay and going back to see if the the current transfer mode had changed from "POI" to either of the options listed in the tutorial and it did not change. It stayed "POI"

Something is still not right. Sure you did the DMA fix? I couldn't find the DMA checkbox to check/uncheck whichever it was. And I did download the firmware and ran it, but nothing happened.

Well the program said it completed successfully and such. But it still will not play in my dvd player.

Okay i pray that it works, this has been a stressful process.

Okay I got worried there for a moment that I didn't catch it in time and was afraid it was ruined. Ha. I also have the eject disc box checked, after it verfys the sectors, (should) it then eject the disc or is there more to it? (yeah I am so a newbie to this program)

okay i went to close it down and discovered it was verfying sectors...is this normal? I do have the "verify" box check. It is 28% through that right now.

Okay so I wrote it to disc and all but the ImgBurn window is still up, and counting time and the log and program says it is finalising disc. It has been doing this for I'd say about a half hour. Is this normal? What do I do from here?

Check if you have DMA enabled. The write rate is not looking ok. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?s=&...dpost&p=967 Thank you I will try both options, the driver and the device manager and see if they work. If not I'm sure I will let you know. ha ha

If you are referring to "Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden blanks " Then no, because I haven't seen that media available in my area. And as for the part about the "Sempahore Timed out" I don't understand what it is that you want me to do with that? I clicked the link, and read but I don't know otherwise what to do?

Sorry I did not see that and I wasn't home to get the log file. But if this correct this is the log file here. I 22:04:49 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

Hi, I'm new to this site and IMgbrn But I have been having difficulties trying to back up copies of dvds. I did everything by the tutorial with DvdFAb, DVD Shrink and Imgbrn. However the disc will not play in my dvd player. It will play in my computer though. The disc read error is regarding to "playback" and not having it, or something like that.(Not at home to give you exact error code) Could you help me figure this out before I go bonkers?
