LIGHTNING UK!

Are you able to take any of the ports out of AHCI mode via the BIOS or whatever to see if it behaves itself in ATA/IDE/Compatible mode? It may also be worth trying it again having booted into safe mode.

That looks like a driver issue to me. Something is timing out early and resetting the device because it thinks it has got stuck. Right click the drive selection box and pick 'Family Tree'. Close the prompt and then copy + paste everything from the Log window.

Ok so now load one of the burnt discs in Read mode, press the media info button and see if it looks anything similar to what you posted earlier.

Load the cue into ImgBurn and click the little 'image information' button in the source box. Take screenshots of the window that pops up so you capture everything (it scrolls) and post the for me to look at please. The log of the burn and verify attempt would help too.

You could try enabling the 'perform opc before write' option in the settings and give it another go. Cleaning the drive may help if it's dirty. Beyond that, you're probably out of luck.

If your drive / firmware is BT10F DT03, I'd start by Googling BT10F DT04. I've already done that on your behalf and I can tell you that I didn't find anything useful I'm afraid. There's no such thing as generic firmware, they're model (and their clones) specific.

Why can't you download it? What's actually stopping you?

Put the I/O interface back on SPTI. Try adjusting the write speed down to 4x. If the drive still can't burn the discs, try cleaning it with a cleaning disc - or manually if you're feeling brave and find a video telling you how to do it.

Because burning has to happen at the speed the drive burns at or burnproof kicks in. Verifying happens at whatever speed the drives can manage between them.

Yes

As it turns out, I have a drive that can do it already... I just need the media. There's nothing showing up on eBay uk.

The sort order applies to the drop down boxes, nothing else. The scan lists them as they're found... and yes, that's down to Windows.

Free-Codecs, TechSpot and MajorGeeks all seemed fine just now when I tried them. BetaNews is offline, Softpedia has repackaged it and Diigital Digest are currently doing the same.

Your drive seems to be burning a disc it can't then read back. You could try slowing the write speed down to one of the other 'supported' speeds. You could also try with different discs (ideally, some Taiyo Yuden CDR) or cleaning the drive.

Forget about converting or creating cues, you can't truly generate something from nothing. How exactly do you want to access them? Via which program? At best, what you've got there is a bunch of 2352 bytes per sector basic image files. All track info has been lost - or would be in a conversion to ISO as it can't represent anything more. You could write a batch file loop through all of the bin files in a directory and create a basic cue with the right name in it. I'd expect most programs that open cue files to open bin files directly anyway, so making the cue seem pointless - hence my initial sentence.

I don't know why they're blocking the website, it doesn't try and do anything. Probably just people reporting issues that don't exist. Lots of applications have an issue with the opencandy plugin used by the installer.

Did you download from ImgBurn.com? Did the md5 match what's posted on the download page? If 'yes' to both, you've nothing to worry about. That detection (suspicious.cloud.2) is not what I'd expect it to show, so it could be you've downloaded the wrong thing... perhaps by clicking an advert.

No, it's not possible. The program reads the data from the hdd into its internal buffer in your machine's RAM. That's the bit that was failing. Nothing to do with your optical drive or the media in it at all. If you've just got a bad sector or two on your drive, you aren't going to run into the same problem until you try and read from something that's occupying that sector. Now I don't know how big your hdd is, but consider the following.... There are 1,073,741,824 bytes in 1GiB. Given there are 512 bytes per sector on an older hdd (which I assume yours is), that's around 2.1 million sectors per GiB. So there's a good chance you won't always read from that bad sector unless you don't touch (overwrite, delete, defrag etc) the file using it. The drive may also have managed to recover it now if it's been overwritten again or reallocated it elsewhere.

Try using one of the DirectShow filter manager tools to enable or disable the one you had originally and the two you've just added. It could be a Windows 10 issue as no doubt they came out long before it did.

Oh well if you've checked websites, you must know more about where the errors reported by my program are coming from than I do. (yes, that was sarcasm) We're just trying to help you. The OS reported an error trying to read the file on your hdd. It 110% has absolutely nothing to do with your optical discs. That's not to say your choice in media won't cause issues elsewhere, it's just that specific error was not caused by them. The two are totally unrelated. If anybody reads that error and blames the media you're using, they have probably have no business offering support in the first place.

Probably because the new '3 title' project they created wasn't located in the same 'bad' spot on the hdd.

Try with the filters mentioned in the guide. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?/topic/5555-how-to-write-an-audio-cd-from-music-files-using-imgburn/?p=91374

No, drives read them at whatever speed they like. The read speed on recordable discs is just normally lower than dvdrom discs.

It isn't fixed, your hdd is dying. Run chkdsk on it asap and scan for bad blocks. You may need to replace it before it dies and you lose everything on it.

None of those probably display it. WMP needs a plugin installed. Google wmpcdtext.
