I means that the drive does not like the disc's cannot calibrate power to the laser to actually start the burn. Do not throw away the disc as it should still be writable , just not on the writer you have, it may never write on any writer depends on the quality of the disc. See if there are any firmware updates for your writer, post a log so we can see the quality media code of the media you have. You may find you have to ditch that writer as they are not very good / have caused lots of people issues

Could there be a switch to use older style for Ntfs use (with fat at slower rate) and new style for Fat/32 use ? I am not that bothered with how fat/32 works at moment as I rarely build iso to Pen and if i needed to would switch to Ntfs as i also do not want to destroy pen with so many write operations.

mine won't let me choose 64k on ntfs infact mine willnot let me choose ntfs at all for the usb 4 gig pen I was trying to see if 64k would help or rather to see if L_UK could try with 64k to stop duplicate writing as he mentioned he works in blocks of 65536 and that was written but along with 4096 (which is what my 4 gig usb defaults to when formatted to ntfs)

Is there any way to format usb pen to 64k cluster(whilst using ntfs) instead of 4096 bytes (default for ntfs) ?

File system and allocation make a huge difference (not so much allocation) Ntfs is 3x faster or 13x from average I 13:08:26 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!I 13:08:26 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2) I 13:08:26 Total Physical Memory: 1,048,048 KB - Available: 632,208 KB W 13:08:26 Drive C:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB in size.

Or I was spot on first time

it will be the delete key, lets just Say that does not work then try f2, then replace keyboard if none of them work. I have 3 nforce mobo's and I never use the nvidia IDE drivers on any of them anymore, it was more hassle and never worked properly on any of the boards without some major problem arising so i just use the standard Ms drivers which on all of my boards get my hd's transfer rate highest and no problems. Got sick of making my own driver package for nvidia by taking a bit out of the beta and using the other bit from another release etc. If it was me i would start again and re install operating system or I would be putting ghost image back in that i would have made at very first xp boot into windows etc. you may be able to take out nvidia pata/sata drivers and revert back to ms without any problems but you may find driver corruption is still calling the same shots with the errors your getting. You would have no choice but to reinstall then to rule that stuff out

what raw data are you adding is this like multisession etc. bootable disc what is the iso

Yes but you will have to wait for him to come online.

more like wine than vista

ok then see which sata port your connected to see if there are 2 diff providers for sata on your board, check your sata drivers are in upto date etc and see which version of sata your bios is assigning.

check your bios and change your ide cable for an 80 wire one or replace the 80 wire one you have in there already. Put the writer as master on the cable and set jumper to master if not already like that.

Sarcasm eh You'll be back Fanni And just so you know it's failing to verify at switching layers co's the discs are shit.

Use Verbatim once then see if you can rule out the board/ide/chipset etc. It's a simple choice spend a little more get perfection save a few and pull your hair out.

Yeah what about read mode in IB and explorer is not illegal.

Happy Birthday

yes the booktype option is still there on Auto

If it is a standard dvd then the build process to iso etc will have the files for movie in right order

yeah just use ImgBurn

shrink was never designed for this operation

Cos the media you are using is not very good or maybe you got lucky with the first 20. Seems firmware for optorite products is down the pan as well as their website no longer exists.

have pioneer fixed the issue of burning cds with 112 ? if not thats why cd's are not working so you could not judge writer based on cd's.

which mobo is it and which ide are you connecting with and are you using standard ms ide/sata drivers or intel storage or the accelerator ide stuff. You should maybe also check your bios setup Could also be as you suspect a dodgy batch of discs
