  1. Change the SATA cable and check to see where/ which sata port is in use and which chipset the controller is using and update that. Try a different sata port if you are connected to a Jmicron controller do not use a RAID sata port.

     

    Find out what the unknown in log is. check power cables/ data cables etc

     

    In bios if using AHCI mode or AUTO Instead set to Emulated IDE or IDE mode whatever your bios calls it

     

    BTW update to ImgBurn 2.4.4.0 first

     

    You know that Memory prices are at their lowest for a very long time and that 256 meg is pretty much useless to run XP

     

    Once you get the I/O sorted Update your drives firmware..

     

    & Burn @8x

  2. All you can do is try some other discs.

     

    Get some Verbatim DVD+R's or some Taiyo Yuden DVD-R's instead.

     

    Thanks, I'll try that. The other odd thing is that the disks are then unable to be finalized nor can I delete any of the titles. Is there any way to fix this? It seems a waste to toss a disk with an 1:50 minutes of stuff on it.

     

     

    I used to be like that with COAL :teehee:

  3. And once on the blacklist it's on until it's removed.

     

    Trouble is with nearly all these security programs they POP up and ask a question then USER = PANIC!!!! ---- program blocked and user then has no idea they blocked X or that they should then check settings and remove program from blacklist

     

    Some of these programs even block stuff silently.... These programs need a good kicking

  4. Right click on the drives description in ImgBurn and select check for firmware update then update it to 1.09 if it finds it. Also try burning your disc again at 8x instead of MAX. Then try some better disc's like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim.

     

     

    Make sure no disc is in tray and tray closed when doing firmware update and do not stop it until it says successful etc.

  5. Thanks for replying :) . I'll update my firmware asap and try a different dvd-r. I can't do it right now, since I'm not using my own laptop for it.. (Got some issues with my Cd/Dvd-station..) I will let you know how it went :D

     

     

    Good luck

  6. Thats not what i said. Your writer is a little quirky in that setting the speed to 2.4x which is the only speed your media is (so you setting 1x the drive/media was never gonna adhere to that so Don't try 1x as you cannot use 1x) anyways back to this quirky drive when you set to 2.4x the drive flips between 2.5. 2.6 2.4 you cannot stop that behaviour a new firmware might but i doubt it and as LUK has said it is nothing to worry about

  7. I 15:59:42 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-D01-01) (Speeds: 2.4x)

    I 15:59:42 Destination Media Sectors: 4,173,824

    I 15:59:42 Write Mode: DVD

    I 15:59:42 Write Type: DAO

    I 15:59:42 Write Speed: 1x

     

    Also 1x was not a valid choice as your writer/media only allows 2.4x in the same way you could have set it to 24x but you would only get 2.4x [2.5x 2.6x] on your writer/media combination 2.4x being the norm.

  8. reinstall your operating system

     

     

     

    get new bios, update prior to updating bios reset cmos, update bios, reset cmos then set back up. Change all sata cables. (maybe change your psu as well )

     

     

    when you have installed your operating system CLEAN ...make a ghost image with norton 2003 then install latest chipset drivers don't use drivers for storage if nvidia chipset etc try and just use standard windows drivers (also try using the previous chipset drivers incase latest are buggy in erro etc.

     

    Try an ide drive for boot drive take your sata 1.5 offline . check jumpers on all sata hard drives for sata 2 mode or check bios is set to use 1.5 or 3.0

     

    try 1 stick of memory or try an other stick.

     

    also see if there is a bios update for any of the sata controllers on your board.

     

    try taking things off the psu and only leaving say 1 hd and 1 writer and then try as well

     

     

     

     

     

    you could buy a sata/ide to usb2 adapter to use the optical drives
