Can only burn 1 disc at once before rebooting

Recommended Posts

This is probably not an ImgBurn problem, but since ImgBurn is the only program I use for burning, I'm asking for help here.

 

This scenario can be replicated 80% of the time on my laptop. When I finish burning an ISO with ImgBurn, the tray is ejected, and I insert another disc to burn the next ISO. But ImgBurn then gives me a message about being unable to find a DVD drive, while the light on the drive stays on continuously. I have only been able to fix this by rebooting, which is obviously annoying and unnecessary.

 

Has anyone seen this issue before? I am running Vista Ultimate and have Daemon Tools Lite installed. Thanks!

It only adds to the log after a succesful burn, not when it can't find the drive. But here's from the most recent one.

W 15:21:12 Device Removal Detected!

 

Ah so your drive is actually being removed from the system by Windows because it's stopped processing commands - i.e. it (or perhaps the driver?) crashed.

 

Have you tried burning onto some decent media to see if it's any different?

 

Maybe just try burning onto a DVD+RW (the same one) a couple of times in a row.

What happens if you burn an ISO, click the 'OK' button on the 'Operation Successfully Completed!' box and then wait for ImgBurn to get back to the main screen and be showing 'Device Not Ready' in the status bar before putting the next disc in?

 

Are you able to do that or does the drive get stuck before then?

 

If it doesn't and it still works, put the next disc in and keep any eye on the status bar. Tell me exactly what it says when the drive seems to be taking its time to do something.

Install Intel Matrix Storage Manager, reboot then try burning again.

 

OK, I installed it and it didn't help.

Here's the breakdown of all the steps. After a successful burn, the tray ejected, I clicked OK, inserted the next disc, and closed the tray. During that time the status bar said "Device Not Ready (Logical Unit is in process of becoming ready)," but my burner was still listed under Destination. As soon as I clicked on the folder icon to browse for a new ISO, it gave me:

Daemon Tools won't work when you disable SPTD. LUK asked you to disable SPTD because it can cause the problem you're having. You can re-enable it again later if it isn't the problem.
