LIGHTNING UK!

That looks pretty damn perfect so now verify the disc again within ImgBurn using the standalone 'Verify' mode. It might just be heat related or something.

It'll be a screenshot rather than a log, but yeah just post it here. Basically, green = good, other colours are bad. The lower the PI and PO errors the better.

If they're important you might like to consider using 2 single layer discs rather than a DL one that your drive doesn't appear to support properly. If you must go the DL route, get some Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL ones instead (with the MKM-001-00 dye). If you can find out who makes your drive you could also see if there are any firmware updates available for it.

Try slowing the burn down to 8x or 12x. As you have a liteon, use cdspeed or dvdinfopro to perform a disc quality test / PIPO scan on that disc and see how well your drive burnt it. Have you already tried looking for firmware updates?

Assuming you're putting the blank DVD's in the DVD burner and not the CD burner and that the DVD burner is selected in the 'Destination' field and not the CD burner, all you can do is hunt around for a firmware update for the DVD burner in the hope that it then supports your discs. Can the DVD drive read original discs ok? CD's and DVD's ?

DVD Flick has it's own version installed locally. Just copy + paste the version from c:\program files\Imgburn into the dvd flick folder and overwrite the old one.

Whilst that's fine for ImgBurn, no other program that uses SPTI is gonna work until you fix the issue or work around it (by getting a card). I'm sure there must be a way to uninstall the Via drivers properly or roll them back. Did you actually install them yourself in the first place? If you did, were the ones you installed the latest available from viaarena.com ?

Ah well if it only has 2 ports there will only be 1 controller. Look in Device Manager and see what's listed under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' and then what's listed under 'SCSI and RAID controllers'. Screenshots may help here too If you have no joy with the samsung on the via controller, get yourself a silicon image 3512 pci card for

Yes, TSSTcorp is samsung and the S203B is an SATA drive - we could have told you that much You need to find out exactly which controller it's connected to. Start by finding out which chipset your motherboard uses, then see if there are any 3rd party controller chips on the board (giving you additional SATA ports etc). If you have a manual for the board it should be easy to lookup which port the drive is using and then which controller that port is running from. When you know that info you can just visit the controller manufacturers website and download the latest driver.

What controller is the drive connected to? Have you tried checking the various manufacturer sites for driver updates?

http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download Select the 'Mirror 7' link. Save the setup program to your hdd and then double click it to start the installation.

Correct Thanks anyway though! This is just to remind me to do it for the 2.5.x.x version or something.

Where are you getting this info from?! The XP install discs always uses an I386 folder. Take a real SP2 install disc, copy all the folders/files to a folder somwhere (let's say C:\WINXP - so amongst others, you'll have a C:\WINXP\I386 folder), integrate SP3 via the '/integrate' CLI switch and then add that main folder (C:\WINXP) to the source box in Build mode. Use the 'Bootable Disc' tab to extract the bootimage from the SP2 CD and then using the info in the log window, fill out the bootable disc fields on that same tab. Click 'Build' and create your SP3 bootable ISO.

Nope, 'Destination' doesn't tell you anything about the type of disc in the drive, that info would show up in the info panel on the right. Yours will be practically empty at this point because your drive doesn't think there's a disc in it - that is what 'Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present - Tray Closed)' means. Are you sure your drive supports burning to dvds? Copy + paste everything from the log window so we can see what drives are in your machine. (If you've closed the log window you can open it again via the 'View' menu at the top)

I'm not even sure which option you're looking at but you don't normally need to tell ImgBurn anything about what disc you're burning to.

Ah ok, I was hoping for a different error first but I guess it's being lost. Do I take it that this problem occurs all the time when you try to burn DL media? Are you able to test DL buring with this drive in another machine? It could be a driver that's making it time out and reset.

See topic!

The files etc should be in a folder called I386, if they're not then it'll seem like a normal data disc to ImgBurn and it won't be able to fix certain settings that are required for building a bootable OS installation disc.

When you next burn a disc, don't click Retry and instead just get a screenshot of the first error box that pops up. It looks like your drive is resetting itself and that's why it enters the 'not ready' status. That is obviously not something it should be doing.

It wasn't deleted, it was simply hidden from view by a moderator because it made zero sense and looked like SPAM. I've deleted it now though out of principal and it didn't belong in the 'suggestions' forum anyway.

Burn the memtest+ iso to a cdrw or something and then reboot your pc. If the boot order is such that cdrom comes before hdd it'll boot straight into memtest and begin checking your memory. If it's not you'll need to make some changes in the bios or try and access a boot option type screen.

Your first post doesn't make any sense. If you have a problem with the translation, tell me what's wrong with it or have a go at correcting it yourself and sent it over.

Are you using decent quality Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden media? If not, try doing so. It looks like your drive is getting on a bit now so you'll probably want some older 8x media rather than 16x. Another option would be to buy a new burner. They're only about

I don't know why your drive is complaining about a command sequence error but you've obviously got an error in your 'source' configuration anyway, the project is tiny.

You can't output anything except a disc image (of variation of it in the case of an Audio CD to a WAV file) with ImgBurn so no, it won't create a single VOB file. It'll create an image of the discs in BIN/IMG/ISO etc format.
