io error

look in task manager during the burn and see what the cpu usage is at.

 

If DMA is the issue then it'll be really high.

 

If it's on 0 - 5% then that can't be it.

 

How are the buffer levels during the burn? Are they both at 100% all the time?

It is weird....Since I updated the firmware the % of completion moves (very sow, takes 6 hours to complete) and it never did that before with these discs however the device buffer never moves. It stays at 0 the whole time. The "buffer" starts at 100 and stays there for a few minutes (5-10) then drope down to about 53 %. It takes for ever to try and go on the internet or do anything on the computer when I am burning. The burning aso gives me the same error as before after its done (6 hours later). Before I updated the firmware it would just give me the error right away and show 0% for completion the whole time and the rest of my computer would run normal. I also find that when I try and burn now that my Virus scan comes on and starts scanning my computer and I cant close it until I stop the burn. I cant find the computer usage in controll panel, part of the problem is that the computer runs so slow it takes to long to do anything. I hope this helps to give you an idea of the problem............

I said Task Manager, not Control Panel.

 

Just right click the task bar (where the application buttons get put) and you'll see it on the context menu.

 

That or press CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE.

 

Are you using a decent 80 wire cable for the drive?

 

Is the drive set on 'Master' via the jumpers on the back?

 

Is the drive on the same cable as anything else?
