ISF Newbie

ISF Newbie (1/5)

  1. I also would like to point out as a sanity check that I had been using Imgburn sucessfully and happily for all of 2008 on this exact same system with a NEC 3520 IDE burner that recently failed. I changed nothing but the drive when Imgburn started hanging. Since then I have updated drivers, BIOS, and tried a bunch of rather stupid things like moving the drive to the sata Raid controller just to see what would happen, which to my surprise completely changed the behavior. The fact that neither Imgburn nor Roxio will produce a good DVD with the drive hooked to the raid controller, and plain common sense, tells me that this is not how it should be cabled. I reconnected the drive to the non-raid sata port; now at least Roxio works. As you point out on your pinned posts, many other burning applications like Roxio simply ignore error conditions; I always appreciated the wealth of information from Imgburn. I understand if my case is simply too unique for a solution, I'll just have to deal with it.
  2. I agree, the drive burns fine with Roxio, must be some incompatibility with my system devices or drivers. I listed my driver versions below, it looks like the Marvell emulates a standard dual IDE and uses a Microsoft driver. Intel Raid Driver version 8.5.0.1032 7/20/2008 There is nothing else under SCSI and RAID controllers The ATA/ATAPI branch has 3 items - Primary IDE channel Secondary IDE channel Dual Channel PCI IDE controller (I beleive this is the Marvell 88SE611x) The resource details for the Marvell controller is PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_6121&SUBSYS_612111AB&REV_B1\4&332B0EE8&0&00E4 The driver is Microsoft version 5.1.2600.2180 I provided the screen shots you requested except the device instance id which was too large for the window, so I copied it above. I hope this information helps you and thanks again!
  3. I agree that the DVD drive should not be connected to one of the 4 sata ports supported by the ICHR9 chip, which is indeed running in RAID mode, not ACHI. This is why I plugged the dvd drive into the 5th available non-raid sata port on my mobo which goes to a Marvell 88SE6111 chip. According to the mobo docs, this is the preferred connection for a DVD drive. As I stated earlier, the Roxio works in this configuration, I have sucessfully burned 3 discs now, even using this 'cheap' media. I have been using the same cheap media for at least a year now and have burned literally hundreds of discs, with very few failures. Most of what I burn is downloaded junk and not all that important. Anyway, in this config, Imgburn hangs the PC. I agree that Roxio probably does not issue that same command, or it too would hang. I moved the drive to the 4th sata connector (part of raid set) just to try something, not because it is right. In this config, both Roxio and Imgburn start burning, but both have trouble at almost exactly 2 TB. I think this is not a good config to run, I moved the DVD back to the 5th sata non-raid port. The drive is an HP OEM from a friend, he took it out of an HP workstation. I am rather sure HP gets their drives from LG. I suppose if you got your hands on a drive exactly like mine, you could resolve the problem rather easily, being such a talented coder.
  4. I thought I would update the board on what I have tried for the past few days to correct my issue with Imgburn hanging and any new information. I installed Roxio Creator Basic v9 from my friend's CD who gave me the burner that came with his system. It burned 2 discs just fine. I don't really like Roxio though, and would prefer to return to Imgburn. I have an MSI P35 Platinum mobo with 5 sata connections. 4 sata go to the Intel ICH9R and support three 750Gb drives in a Raid 0 set. The final fifth sata port is connected to the realtek chipset and is not available for raid use, so I connected the new burner there. The old burner was IDE. In the meantime, I upgraded the BIOs to versiom 1.9 from 1.8, upgraded all the drivers to the latest versions, with no change. The Roxio still burns, Imgbrun still hangs my PC upon startup. I then moved the DVD sata connector to the 4th open Intel sata port. Both Imgburn and Roxio will now start and burn DVDs, but both products fail at about 2 TB data processed. In the log file below, I requested an abort at 1:18 when the drive stopped burning and continuously resets the head and retries without further progress on the burn at about 2 TB. It took over 10 minutes to return control to Windows. The log file is shown below: I 01:07:55 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started! I 01:07:55 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 01:07:55 Total Physical Memory: 2,096,328 KB - Available: 1,471,776 KB I 01:07:55 Initialising SPTI...

  5. Too afraid I'd screw up one of those bytes, but a photo, now that's a good idea. As requested, it is attached, and thanks again for your support.
  6. Please don't shoot me - I did read the FAQ. I enabled the diag info in the registry as suggested by the FAQ. I get a lot more information displayed in the window now at startup, but the PC still hangs and I have to power it off. I don't know how to post the log if it is not stored in a file before the PC becomes unresponsive. Is there a log file or any other useful information I can post to help resolve this?
  7. My reliable old NEC 3520 burner finally crapped out. #39;( Luckily, a good friend gave me a nearly new Lightscribe Multi-recorder DVD+R DL drive that came from his HP desktop, he got a Bluray burner instead. The drive worked and burned DVD+R and DVD+R DL discs fine while in his PC using Roxio, and it reads and plays every disc I have tried since I installed it in mine. It shows up as a HL-DT-ST_DVD-RAM_GSA-H60L_____R90C in my Windows XP device manager, I think it is made by LG electronics. I installed the latest Imgburn, but every time I start the program, it completely hangs my system at the "searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices" message. I have to power the system off as it is completely unresponsive, even to Ctrl-Alt-Del. It is using a standard Microsoft device driver, but I can't find a better one. Any ideas on what I should try next? Thanks.
