Can I use my Sony DRX-S70U usb burner in its place? What exactly do you mean............buy a normal IDE DVD burner & convert it into a usb one ............correct............they place it in a casing........but would it connect to the cable & would the voltage be same? Thanks.

LIGHTNING UK.........Sony ain't giving it free........they wanna install the same hardware if its dead........so why pay Sony & get another Matshita, Kindly suggest some other brands that would fit. Thanks!

I didn't get a chance to clean the Matshita RAM drive today, which I shall do tomorrow. When I click on the drive with a pressed media in, it displays a " I/O device error". Hypothetically if the drive is dead what options do I have to replace it? What brand, type should I look for.........coz Sony wants to put another Matshita one which I don't like, it hardly can read write all media........very picky. What variables should I look for like voltage consumption, pin connector, a drive that would fit in it's place...slim slot loading. What other brands are available in slim slot loading? Thanks. Nicholas.

1. Yes. 2. Ok thanks. Regards!

I don't know the voltage it takes, but is attached with a 40 pin cable. It's a slim slot loading drive........do other brands manufacture similar that would take its place?

Before the software can verify a media it gives this error.

No disc would read/ write. When I insert any disc it gives this error & I can hear the drive trying to read the media but in vain.

Hi there, All of a sudden my Sony Vaio ImgBurn.log

I agree that Matshita is bad drive........but its my boot drive. On this Sony machine I don't have the option of a usb DVDRW boot. I am using Verbatim media............you feel its a faulty media? Or should I burn the iso on the usb DVDRW & use it on Matshita, will it work there? Thanks

Adding more graphs to see whats the issue? Thanks! MATSHITA_DVD_RAM_UJ_846S_F200_MONDAY_JUNE_01_2009_11_34_AM_97m34s22f_MAX.ibg

Now why this using the same drive & similar brand media & the same ISO? It burnt the ISO but on sync & verify gave an error......?? //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 - Log ; Monday, 01 June 2009, 21:38:14 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 21:38:07 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

Hi there, I am trying to burn a bootable ISO of Acronis. When burnt it displays synchrozing/ verifying displays an alert could you smart people tell me why it does that & what am I doing wrong etc? I click on yes

Multisession isn't supported at this time. Also if you need lightscribe capabilities you'll need another software set. Hi there, Even when I check Multisession in Nero it won't burn new data files on a RW media.......why? What exactly is lightscribe? I find Image Burn the best, just a bit less user friendly for a senile beginner. Can it burn mp3s & burn DVD movies? Hoping to hear from you smart guys. Yes I am in Pakistan working on a project. Regards, Nicholas.

Thanks Cynthia, AliveNoMore & LOCOENG for your expert comments, I appreciate em. Am new to burning, just burnt a few Data, ISO & mp3 Audio till now. Haven't tried +/-DL or Multisession yet. I am using Nero & Image burn at the moment. What exactly do you mean by lightscribe capabilities? Does one need a DL media for a multisession? I only use Verbatim media....is that good enough? Matshita DVD RAM UJ-846S is very picky drive....it dislikes Nero, mostly gives an error with it.....works great with image burn.....don't know why. Regards! Nicholas.

Hi there, This is my first post at the forums. I find Image Burn great, but have a few questions about it. 1. Do I still need Nero along with it? 2. Do the 2 conflict with each other? My machine's optical drives are Sony DRU- S70U, Toshiba TST 64AD, Matshita DVD RAM DJ-64S. Hoping to hear from you, Thanks, Nicholas.
