Isn't there an actual option in the PS3 dashboard for loading / installing an OS? You have to partition the drive first too yeah? I know I had no issue getting yellow dog onto mine a few months back.

Is your hard drive ok?!

You can't extract them in 98, it's not supported due to the commands I'm using.

Taken from the 'SHA1SUM' file on that FTP site... Yellow Dog Linux 6.0 for Apple, Sony PS3, and IBM System p 6ebc178539eb4d611f4455fd2c8c7264b5804b82 yellowdog-6.0-DVD-20080205.iso f0862b7442e2f38bd01039ab6a6e28db84fe5ded yellowdog-6.0-DVD-20080207.iso Install something like 'HashTab', right click your iso and click properties. Switch to the hashtab tab and let it calculate the SHA1 value. Then compare that to the one above.

ISO9660 is the wrong file system to be using. Use Joliet and/or UDF. Windows etc will read UDF before Joliet and Joliet before ISO9660.

Your drivers are probably reporting bogus errors, not much I can do about that I'm afraid. RITEKG05 are rubbish too, get yourself some Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden discs as recommend in just about every media related post on every forum.

A new version may have fixed it anyway. The problem wouldn't go away by just reinstalling unless you'd been messing with the settings and set something to a silly value.

I'm in the UK and so probably not the best person to help you find a shop to buy from. One of the other guys will do that.

Your best bet is to leave the settings on their default values (or reset them if you've changed stuff). The only thing you need to adjust is the write speed depending on your drive/media/firmware combo. I find 8x / 12x a good speed for burning.

You have to write a DLL to add icons to the context menus, ImgBurn just uses plain old registry entries.

When you say 'AUTO' you do mean the Write Speed thing yeah? If so, please go and read the Guides forum. Having it set to 'AUTO' means *nothing* if you don't actually take the time to configure it. ('It' being the Automatic Write Speed feature)

They're probably protected against being copied and ImgBurn is therefore of no use with these discs.

If you used ImgBurn to read a CD and it created a BIN file it would have also created a CUE file to go with it. The default read speed for CD Audio tracks is 8x. Everything else defaults to MAX. MAX isn't the optimal burn speed, you have to decide that for yourself based on your drive / firmware / media combo.

Can you not order them over the internet?

Leave the layer break setting as it is. DVD/MDS files contain the correct LB value. Junk discs working in a drive doesn't mean anything, they're still junk. If they're not Verbatim, don't waste your time/money on them.

ImgBurn will perform booktyping to DVD-ROM automatically with that drive - IF it supports it. Verbatim DL discs are the only ones worth buying. Don't waste your time / money on anything else.

Learn how to use the program and then suggest stuff please. Working from a list with no real world experience of something isn't going to be of any use.

No, the CUE file points to files already on your hard drive. You can't make it point at a drive or at a file that doesn't exist and therefore cannot be examined. Oh but if the BIN is on the CD as an actual file (i.e. you backed it up), yes you can create a CUE for it. It just has to be an actual file stored somewhere.

Get yourself a new drive, they're so cheap now it's really not worth your time messing around with that one and creating so many coasters.

Why on earth would you burn so many if they're failing?! 1 failure... try again 2 failures... hmm bit pissed off 3 give up If your drive won't burn to the discs then you've either got a really bad batch (i.e. Verbs that aren't from Singapore) or your drive has gone south. You can get a new one for

The verdict is.... it's not working very well! Why are you using ASPI (FrogASPI) for your I/O interface? Put it back on SPTI. I've no idea where all the 'No Additional Sense Information' errors being returned by your drive/drivers are coming from. They're probably bogus - or could be due to you using FrogASPI. The power calibration and session fixation errors are because your drive doesn't really like the media. I'm not really surprised because rewritable discs are never really any good and your drive is pretty ancient now. You don't fancy treating yourself to a new one?

Going by that disc info, the last sector is 2285871 which is more than the last one ImgBurn wrote to (2285853 - and I'd expect that to be the case so don't worry!), so I really can't see what the problem is. If it knows the disc has 2285871 sectors available for reading, why is it saying 2285853 is out of range?! Try verifying the disc again now.

Use ImgBurn to verify one of the Nero written discs and show me that log please. btw, if you've reloaded ImgBurn 2.4.2.0 from scratch, the 'DVD+R Reserve Track' option shouldn't be enabled by default and your log shows that it is. In any case, the program has written up to and including sector 2285853 and yet your drive is claiming anything after 2285839 is out of range... that can't possibly be true. Put the ImgBurn burnt disc back in the drive and copy + paste all the disc info text from the panel on the right.

I VERY much doubt it's a bug so I've moved it to 'Support'. Post a log of what you're actually doing. When you burn, make sure you verify too.
