LIGHTNING UK!

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.

Are you burning them as a data disc or an audio cd via the 'create cd cue file' feature? Have you read the guide on burning an audio cd?

If the discs you've already burnt have an audio_ts and video_ts folder on them, they're already in DVD Video format and should work just fine in your new player. So basically, what files / folders are on the ones that you say don't work?

Write mode burns disc images.... an AVI file is not a disc image. If you don't know how to use the program, please read the guides.

Logs are saved automatically. Look in the 'Help' menu within the program. ImgBurn has a fallback thorough check for images that aren't generally supported. I've never tested it with a CIF image - mainly because EasyCD 5 is ancient and I haven't run into one.

It's not for ImgBurn to recognise it, it's for Wine to make it available. Configure Wine correctly and ImgBurn will work just fine.

Wii games are protected against casual copying. Your drive probably won't read them at all (hence the problem) and nor will ImgBurn. Conversations on this matter do not belong on this forum, sorry.

You've got DMA issues, as can be seen from the initial error code. What controller is your drive attached to? Have you tried a new cable? (the shorter the better) Is the drive setup as a 'master/slave' drive properly and not on 'cable select' ?

Take the disc out of the drive. Does it then say medium not present when you load it and switch to read mode? As a side note.... 48MB free memory, do you have lots of other apps open? You're leaving yourself a little short.
