Thanks,I didn't know that you could burn it directly without making an img-file.
That was was I was wondering (if I had to make another one).
However, since my file is showing "Optimal L1 Data Zone Start LBA: none found!" (I assume that first layer is smaller than the 2nd), maybe its better to rebuild it anyways?
-
my HDD is out of space for another copy of this ISO....
if there's a way doesn't require extract the image again?
Mount the ISO in a virtual drive with Daemon Tools and, with ImgBurn in Build mode, add the VIDEO_TS folder from the virtual drive, then click the calculator button and ImgBurn should show you the possible layer break positions.
So, can I just copy the information I get when I calculate and use it somehow, when I burn the orignal img-file?
Or am I missing something?

Just wanted to give an update:
I recieved a new drive yesterday, and now everything works flawlessly.
25 perfect burns so far, so it was a faulty drive after all.
Thanks for all your help!

Sometimes they use Commentaries in one PGC, and other languages in others. It's just a structual/author-thing and is not that uncommon.
-
LoL!
They never do.
-
Given the short timescale tho I don't think you have anything to lose by returning it for another one. If the new one is still problematic you can then follow the advice that chewy and others can offer to pinpoint whats going on
That's my 2 cents worth anyways....
My thought excactly.
The plan is to return it, get antother one. If for some reason that one won't work...well, you guys will be the first to hear about it.

I had a Nec ND-2500 in this computer, before I put the 4551 in.
It worked flawlessly until the laser died on New Years Eve.
The thing is, I think I've tried almost everything now. And if I return it now (before 14 days), there's a "no questions asked" policy.
But by all means, if you have anything to contibrute - bring it on!
-
I almost thought that burner was going back then....... 
LoL!
It is, but I could always try a few things while waitng on the RMA form.
-
Ok, sure.
...if you explain how I do it.
-
Nah, nothing to write home about.
Now this is going back to the store.
Sometimes you just have to decide how many coasters you are willing to burn...and well, I have certainly crossed that line now!
But thanks again all, for your help and patience.
-
Yes, that's the one. I just spelled it wrong.
Got the latest BIOS, but the drivers are out of date...to say the least.
I'll try some updates now.
But does these have anything to do with the dvd burner?
-
Yes, that's what I thought!
But I'm gonna try to get the latest drivers anyways, since I installed the ones that came with the mobo...so it may be time for that anyhow!
I have the 875p MCH chipset...I think.
-
Yiiihoooo!
I just read something on cdfreakz, about someone who had problems like this. It seems his mobo was doing weird stuff with IDE (he had Intel).
I have Asus PC800-E DeLuxe, but I think there are some Intel drivers involved...should I try something (
) or should I just save the time and RMA? -
Just added this because I got a completly new message this time.
And maybe it means something to you, cause I haven't got a clue.
-
Yes, several people used this media with success (MCC003 mostly, but also MCC03RG20).
Well i can't be certain that they're not fakes of course...but I don't believe they are (have used them for about 1 year now with my NEC 2500 without problem...except that the 2500 is now dead).
Actually, I haven't read any reports like this even on crappy media...that's why I'm suspecting the drive.
Otherwise, seems to be a good drive.
Gonna try to RMA it since it's only about 10 days old.
-
Yes, you're right.
But I haven't read of anyone else with this problem, so I'm not sure it's firmware related.
Just thinking if there's anything else I could try, before RMA (wonder if they can see I've flashed the firmware, even though it's now back on the original fw)?
And everything looks good with cables (could try to put it on the middle connector instead of the last one), DMA and Mobo as far as I can tell.

I uninstalled Symantec, and did a System Restore from last night (before Symantec).
After reboot I tried to burn again, but again with errors (this time Power Calibration).
Failed to Write Sectors 0 - 31 - Power Calibration Area Error
Retrying (1 of 20)...
Retry Failed - Power Calibration Area Error
Rebooted again, and tried again...and this time it worked.
I honestly don't know what to believe any more, maybe it's hardware related after all?
I mean, how hard should this really be???
What do you guys think?
--
And no, I haven't installed Nero (only Daemon, Office, Sound Drivers, Flash FXP, Firefox and some MS Updates...and lastly Symantec).
-
Hmm...yes. Actually I just got the same error message (plain "Write Error") as before now, after installing Symantec (ver 10.0.1.1000).
Gonna try to uninstall it.
-
Thanks guys.
Yes so far, so good.
I have installed Daemon and MS Office with no problems, everything burns fine (but I'm running out of stuff to burn
).Maybe it was just something weird going on before...but I haven't installed Symantec, ATI drivers, Nero and whole bunch of other stuff yet.
...so there's still time I suppose
-
Hehe, thanks
-
Thanks for the tip.
But actually I have never done that. How do you make a restore point?
-
Great!
This feels kind of like playing russian roulette...I never know when it's gonna blow.
Btw: In your opinion is Daemon "reliable" (i.e is there any of those drivers that can screw with yours)?
Because that's the app I suspected the last time, but nothing got better when I uninstalled it...so I thought it wasn't after all.
-
Well, happy is a strong word but...
I don't think there is much improvement to be gained there. Latest BIOS (Asus) and switched from a 40 wire (which has always worked fine) to an 80 wire IDE cable.
Done 2 burns so far with the new install, and it works good!
Verbatim dvd-r 16x burnt at 12x with no problems.
Nothing else installed, except for some drivers.
The only thing is that the Device Buffer sometimes go very low (like 3%) for a short while, then back at 96%.
But maybe it usually do this? I don't remember any more, I'm just glad it made it through the process.

I decided to go with the a clean install of XP (again).
If it doesn?t work then, I assume it has to be either a hardware or a firmware problem.
How to burn an ISO to DVD+R DL without MDS(layer break info)?
