LIGHTNING UK!

ImgBurn only tries to open 'cdrom' devices so unless that's what it emulates, I see no problem here.

This is why I release new versions of the program.

1x doesn't exist on that media. Regardless of what you set the write speed to, the drive will only ever burn them at 2.4x. Any difference in burn quality you *think* you're seeing is, I am afraid, all in your head. The quality of the discs in these cheapo packs seems to vary quite a lot, I expect that's why the odd few work and the rest don't.

Update the firmware on your drive and try again. http://www.liteonit.com/DOWNLOADS/ODD/SHM-...re/DR16HS0E.rar I don't rate your media though, you'd have a better chance with decent stuff by Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim.

It all comes down to the bootloader itself, I've not seen any mention of emulating specific hardware (beyond what's already possible) in the el-torito specs. The zip one is probably just done using the 'None/Custom' format and using the correct boot image file. So anyway, I believe you're barking up the wrong tree.

To be fair, you can't open the queue window when it's on the bit where you're asked to insert another disc. I'd made it like that because it can't handle queue order changes at that point and it was just easier to prevent them from happening rather than to allow them and deal with them quickly. I'm sure I'll revisit that bit of code in the future and do it properly.

Are they genuine TY's or something by the likes of datawrite / datasafe? (i.e. all the ones that didn't quite pass the TY quality tests or whatever!)

I was gonna say, track 4 - index 1 has a time of 0 seconds/frames... and that can't be right.

Drive letters are nothing to do with me.

Forget about using that disc, they're junk. They don't work for anyone. Make sure you update the firmware on the drive to the latest one though.

ok and now please get a screenshot of what the image information screen looks like when you have that image loaded in Write mode. i.e. load the image and then click the button with a disc and a question mark on it.

A motherboard bios update will update the bios on the jmicron card, that might fix something. Failing that, if the jmicron drivers from here ( ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/Win2k_xp_Vista/ ) don't fix it, buy yourself a silicon image chipset based pci card and put the drive on that.

Try updating in safemode or something. Maybe a dodgy driver is messing things up and preventing it from working. If the drive is an SATA one, yes you should be using the SATA firmware.... but it shouldn't be because that would then make it a 7173S. Which controller is the drive plugged into? (or which motherboard do you have?)

Have you made sure the cable is a decent 80 wire one? Is the drive at the end of the cable? Is the jumper on the drive correctly set on 'Master' and not 'Cable Select' or whatever?

Look in the tools menu within ImgBurn. You should then see an option for filter drivers. Copy the the info to the clipboard and then paste it.

You won't need TAO mode with a new drive like that, leave it on SAO and post a log of that failed burn. Use test mode or a CDRW to save on media. If it fails to send the cuesheet then please press F8 just before you click the write button and then press it again after you've hit 'ok' to the error - then post that log (or save + attach it).

What make is the controller your drive is plugged into? i.e. intel, nvidia, jmicron, silicon image. I guess an easier question would be 'Which motherboard do you have?'

Oooooh the dropdown box arrow You can also right click the '+' (when it's enabled).

Please elaborate. What doesn't work? The program can't make an image from the disc? You get an error? The image and subsequent burnt disc doesn't play? Just put one of your non working discs in the drive, copy the files off to your hard drive using explorer and then use Build mode to make a new disc.

fishboy, if you can't see your drive in explorer you probably have a nasty filter driver installed that's not playing nicely. Post the filter driver info - you can get at it via the Tools menu.

That's bad and could be a driver issue. What controller is your drive attached to?

an ISO is a container that'll leave you with a single file that represents exactly what would be burnt onto the disc. i.e. it's kinda like a zip / rar file. All the files you select in build mode will be stored within it. You then use Write mode to burn the ISO. So you either use Build mode to make an ISO and then burn it in Write mode or you just use Build mode to burn directly to the disc... it really doesn't matter which route you take, the outcome is the same.

Blue arrow? Care to post a screenshot of what you're seeing? He doesn't know, the script that generates that image in his signature simply looks up the info in a database based on your IP address. Everyone see's a different picture.

Use the address in the program's 'About' box.

CIF files aren't really supported, I know nothing about the file format. ImgBurn just looks for the ISO9660 header within a file (this is the thorough fallback) and tries to work it out from that. Send me the first 5 mb of the CIF file and I might be able to do it properly.
