polopony Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 from the looks of your log your firmware doesn't support the discs at all. There should be a line that has the supported write speeds and the manufacturers id,this is mine I 15:03:56 Destination Device: [1:0:0] _NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG 2.1B (F:) (ATA) I 15:03:56 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MCC 03RG20) (Speeds: 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x) is the firmware you have a hacked version by The Dangerous Brothers ? You can try other media we reccommend Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden Tdk discs are not that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try other media we reccommend Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden Tdk discs are not that good I have just tried a new set of blank disc they are verbatim DVD+R. Im still getting the same result. The still dont seem to be registering when I check the log. I have run a disk identifer program and it doesnt seem to pick up the disk either. I have not done anything with the firmware it is still the same as when I got the computer 2 yrs ago from Dell. I was able to burn using magmedia disks before I tried ImgBurn.

lfcrule1972 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Do you recall ever seeing the info that polo posted above ? As he said there is no MEDIA ID or write speeds shown in your log. Maybe the drive has broken ? I see from the rpc1.org site (firmware updates) that there is no update available, I don't know anything about that drive but given that you have had it at least 2 years it may have just retired itself. The firmware page is here if you wanted to check: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_result.php?kaj=1&isces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadjian Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Yeah, I checked the site also LFC, there is nothing listed at all. @strongo, maybe a call to Dell support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinningwheel Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Looked a little further and found that: The NEC Global site only shows firmware version 2.1A as being the latest released. Herries NEC pages show no firmware updates for the drive. Sorry; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 having a couple of NECs myself I went to the official site and couldn't even find the drive WTF closest was a 6500, beats me further looking I see its a notebook drive slim line 8X but to not be listed on NECs site cant explain that or is it another Dell disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polopony Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 chalk it up to poor eyesight, old age, whatever, but I still dont see a ND6100 a 5100 yes a 6500 but no 6100 hey Spinner are we getting confused I posted a couple of lines on what his log should look like using my nd3500 and some verbs to show the supported speeds and the Media id but thats my drive and it has the 2.1b FW for a good while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongo Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Thanks for you efforts in trying to fix my problem, I think its time to take it to a pro for a possible upgrade or replace. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 If its a PC drive then I would replace but I think the laptop slimline ones are a lot more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
