Thanks to both of you who replied. I had not updated my mb chipset, which is NVIDIA nForce 4, and sure enough through MSI Liveupdate4 it stated they needed to be updated. I do recall some time back doing this, and had not done it since the clean install. I'm a little out of practice with my computer skills. Well, I updated them and unfortunately have the IDE drive now and not the SATA to check if that made the difference. I just know the drive worked before the clean install of Windows XP. I wasn't sure if it was hardware related or software. Sounds like hardware from the responses I received. Thanks again - Great people on the Forum! GPZ4189

Hello and thanks for any help - my first post I have been using Imgburn for quite a while with great success. Recently, I made some updates on my 5 year old computer and added a faster Lite-on SATA drive model iHAS322. Everything worked well and I used Imgburn with no problems for a couple of weeks. I decided to go a step further and added a new larger SATA hard drive to replace an old SATA smaller Hard drive (used as backup drive only not my sytem drive) and did a clean reinstall of Windows XP Home on the system drive. Everything went fine and I added all my programs back on. The only issue I had was burning DVD's. Not only in Imgburn, but I tried to burn something in Nero 6 and also received errors! My old Plextor 708A IDE drive still worked just fine. I took the SATA drive back and they gave me a new one, which came up with the same errors.(I will post a log) I changed out the new SATA drive with a new Lite-on IDE and everything works again. Any ideas why the SATA DVD drive wouldn't burn DVD's. This was my first SATA DVD drive and I didn't see any jumpers to change for master/slave. I was only using Verbatim DVD+R and DVD-R media that I have had great success with. I was wasting good disks and then tried older junk, but nothing would burn. The only programs I added or changed after the clean install was AVG anti-virus 9 and VLC-Media Player 1.0.5 both updated. Thanks for any help, I'm always trying to learn and I feel like I just gave in and got older IDE technology. Log: I 22:44:35 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!
