machser Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) Hi, I just got an error with a Dual-Layer burn. It was drive's 2nd Dual Layer disc so I've got no experience with that. Hope you can find something in the log. The drive sits on the 2nd IDE-channel as master. I just found a firmware update to 1.07. Is it the media or the drive ? Error message: Finalise Disc Failed!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Try some Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL media. If they don't work, you'll know it's the drive. If they do, it must have been the media. Either way, update the firmware first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machser Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 okay, thanks for your reply... there are two cruel things happening with this burn: 1. 2nd ide-channel, where the dvd-burner sits on, reports to drive in PIO mode, earlier Ultra-DMA-4 mode, other burns with dvd-r media are running at 0,7 KB/s 2. it can be reset to DMA by deinstalling the 2nd channel from windows only and reboot the system to let it recognize it again, otherwise it would be set to PIO forever I need to get some of the Verbatim blanks to confirm.
