LIGHTNING UK!

Try burning at 4x instead of 2.4x. If that fails, try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc. Perhaps try with discs from another spindle (rule out a bad batch of discs). If all else fails then you have to assume your burner is at fault here. That isn't something you can fix, so you just buy a new one.

The disc is just unreadable in your drive(s). Maybe it was a low quality burn in the first place - start burning to different/better media if this keeps happening. Are they the same make/model of drive? PL05 is the latest so that isn't strictly true. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/iHBS112%2B2/files.html

That question is covered by http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=12200

Read the pink box at the top of the support forum.

The ISO isn't a RAR file, you've just associated WinRAR or whatever with ISO files. Go into its settings and turn that off.

It's probably due to the controller your drive is attached to. Just copy + paste everything from the log window once it has got stuck - or if you don't have that info, just get us what's shown when you start the program.

Read the thread I linked you to. If your drive doesn't support your discs, buy a new drive or buy new discs.

You try all of the 'Supported Write Speeds' (listed in the disc info text on the right of the main window) until you find one that works. Start with the slowest.

Update the firmware on your drive. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Lite-On/DH-16AYH/files.html At the moment, it doesn't support the discs you're trying to use. That's not to say the firmware update will add support for the 'RITEK-S04-66' MID/dye, but it might do. You should also read this. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

Reading a disc makes use of error correction and a drive generally doesn't report success at reading a sector unless everything checks out ok.

It looks like an API command is getting stuck - and that's out of my hands. What I'd probably do here is uninstall the controller from within Device Manager and reboot (i.e. the DMA fix from the FAQ).

It's still having trouble burning to those discs. You may have more luck with the 2.4x speed Verbatim discs (MKM-001-00 MID/dye) Otherwise, it's probably new drive time.

Your drive is probably 7 years old now. It may not even support the MKM-003-00 MID/dye properly. It may help if you cleaned it with a cleaning disc. Failing that, invest in a new drive.

IsoBuster must be lying to you. If the drive reports the logical block address you're requesting is out of range, it'll be saying that no matter which program or operating system use.

As expected, the drive won't read anything beyond 1237 as that's where it thinks the data ends.

As the following thread states, if it burns and verifies ok, you're on your own. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=12200 In answer to your questions... You use whatever speed the drive does the best job at. You probably aren't in a position to know what that is (no scanning drive), so just accept that 2.4x produces a disc that verifies ok - it could be worse! Advances in the ways things are done mean that, yes, it's wrong to truncate. Do some research. No.

They're not meant for burning to optical discs as image files using 'Write' mode. If you want to back them up on a disc (if you've split them in 4GB chunks or whatever), use 'Build' mode, not 'Write' mode.

So have you tried the other write speeds like the thread suggests? All I keep seeing in the log is that you've selected 2.4x, and that isn't even a valid option so it's using 4x. If the other speeds don't work either, follow the other recommendations in that thread.

You're telling us to read your full topic and yet clearly you haven't read the pink box at the top of this forum or the 'pinned' topic covering double layer discs. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 Your discs are... There's a ID02 firmware update available for your drive here - http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1735-file_SH-S223C_ID02.exe.html Looking at your log, I see some of the read errors are mapping to an 'image.nrg' file. Whilst I don't know how the rest of your disc works, you don't normally write discs images to discs as actual files. Maybe you've got some sort of loader on there that mounts that image and its contents are what then becomes visible to the machine?

Are you still having problems now you've updated everything? Perhaps you could post a new log? Don't forget to check the thread I linked you to. It recommends a few things you can try in order to get your current discs working.

If there's some reason you only want to use one file system, you're much better of just selecting UDF if you're going to burn them for use on your computer. I certainly wouldn't use just ISO9660 - even with all of the relaxed restrictions. Yes, the ISO9660 + Joliet advice is really just there to help compatibility with standalone players.

Do you burn anything else on CD besides audio? You can set the speeds for CDs via the AWS feature. Otherwise, the answer is no.

Switch the I/O interface back to SPTI. Install Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. Update the firmware on your drive - http://www.firmwarehq.com/Samsung/SH-S223C/files.html Buy better discs - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 Post the 'Family Tree' info for your drive - right click the drive selection box when you're in Write mode and click 'Family Tree'. Close the prompt and then copy+paste everything from the log window.
