wow! you guys 100% sniped this problem. I installed the nvidia drivers again, restarted and burned successfully! here's the latest log: I 23:36:52 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

no. I'm not 100% sure what this means. But. I know my drive is in the 3rd sata port as I have two sata HDD's in the first two ports, which also makes me think that my sata bios is up to date etc, I was going to poke around in my bios to check out settings but I haven't actually been in it in a long time and can't figure out how to. I thought the hotkey was f8, f12 or esc but none of those worked. and also it seems to read okay, when i first put it in it said "samsung sh-s183 found" i don't remember exactly what it said, but it installed the drivers okay. And in device manager everything seems okay. Also when i put in a cd or dvd it reads just fine. (i have a dfi lanparty nf4 ultra-d)

This is a SATA burner, so I'm not using an IDE 80 wire cable, i'm using the ATA one and there aren't any jumpers on a SATA drive Does that have something to do with the problem? Is there a setting in my bios or the program I have to change?

I just installed my new burner that I bought, and updeated the firmware from here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/FIRMWARE/...ware-SB02.shtml Then I tried to burn and got an error saying: imgburn Failed to Write Sectors 0 - 15 - Logical Unit Communication CRC Error (ULTRA-DMA/32) So I restarted and tried another but did it in test mode and got this: I 12:35:41 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

I've had it for about a year and a half, and about 200-300 burns? I'm not really sure. I was happy with it, but I thought they would last longer than that

I cleaned it today and did another burn and same error. Is this just something that happens, because I have a drive brand that LOCOENG recommended

Why would it be poor media? I was told Verbatim are the best next to Taiyo Yuden? Should I get TY next time? I looked at their site but it didn't seem like they did online orders so where would I get them? Also, because it worked at a slower speed I tried burning at 5x, but it appears to have burned at 6x anyway, and it failed. I 15:01:52 Operation Started!

ah, lite-on is what i have now, but it still might be failing eh? (I still haven't found a +R yet)

all right, I'll try and find a +R to burn, but if my dvd burner was dying what is recommended as a high quality burner? and preferably lightscribe but i can live with out

I get the same error message as posted above, and this log is after I click on cancel: I 08:05:42 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

I'm not sure, I only buy 16x Verbatim DVD-R, I've never tried anything else. I sure hope that's not it though because I just got a 100 pack...

I just updated, restarted my computer and tried to burn another image but got the same error

Whenever I burn a DVD image, during the verification process I get this error: This is the log after I click on 'cancel' I 16:37:13 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!
