^ should not matter unless the usb front case ports are wired up wrong to the motherboard and give no interface when devices connected. So if you try them in the rear usb ports of mobo is it still the same ?. But as you are saying your HDD devices / usb flash pens etc are usually picked up via the same usb ports then it should not matter but just sometimes it does. I have loads of sata to usb converters/ adapters / odd devices(dvd writers etc) not all of them work with chipsets on mobos EG sometimes device will not be recognised via operating system on a specific set of usb ports which is why I'll change usb port to rear mobo ports and most times it's still the same but then I would change the sata to usb adapter bridge for a different one with a different chipset or try it on another computer at least.

But you are powering it with 1.5 A > 2A psu and you have tried the motherboard usb ports and not just the front bay ones yeah ?

How are you powering the drives whilst they are connected to the sata > usb ?

In both writers ? All I can see in the logs are the same poor media types the CD-R (Disc ID: 97m17s06f, Moser Baer India) DVD-R (Book Type: DVD-R) (Disc ID: MBI 01RG40) Have you tried another sata port yet ? Or maybe try with a sata to usb adapter if you've got one, on either or both drives. if you still get failures in the same manner you definitely need to try some decent media

You need better discs but is the ram ok in the machine

Yeah he's good like that even when you've been a little naughty.

happy birthday

^ buy a new dvd writer they are so cheap

Untick it if you have to but it's more important time wise to keep it as is. Having to burn the disc again will take more of your precious time.

DAM missed another 1... Happy Birthday.. Hope you had a good day.

They have because the problem is with the software...not the console. There is no software error just "User Error" Possible error [1]Choice of discs' -- Possible error [2] type of firmware in 360 -- Possible error [3](Original [xbox360] eg no modification) these do not play "backups"

Disable/ remove duplex secure SPTD Update firmware http://www.samsungodd.com/korLib/popup/Download.asp?path=FWDownload&fname=SE-S084B_TS01.exe use better discs. You could do with a little extra memory. like 3gig :lol

The suggestion is already in place Ez-Mode Picker.

I thought it was but when I searched on Google it said it was IDE As I was going to tell you to change the SATA cable but figured after typing it you would tell me you drive was an IDE one :lol Anyways change the sata cable after cleaning lens

Also try changing IDE cable as last resort use an 80 wire one
