In ImgBurn's Build mode go to Advanced tab -> Bootable Disc and use the Extract Boot Image feature to copy the bootable image from your Vista disc. ImgBurn will even ask you if you want to replicate that information for the current build, so that you can burn a bootable OS disc right away

Which BIOS version do you have on that board? Could you try plugging only that burner as Master at the end of a decent 80-wire IDE cable?

Download and install the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard. If you're unsure, use SIW to find out which one you have (Hardware -> Motherboard in SIW). You can also select the info shown by SIW and copy/paste it here

Please post the log from that burn (look in ImgBurn's Help menu).

Please read: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showforum=3

And what's the problem in it showing as an ATA device? Are you getting burning errors or something? If so please post a log (look in ImgBurn's Help menu).

Then why don't you run the previously mentioned programs? Afraid that they'll find something nasty on your "super clean" system?

Someoe hasn't looked in our Media section...

Yeah, well, if you used the Notify me but don't automatically download and install them option then you could avoid the installation of the "genuine advantage" (for who?!) crap

Look in DVDInfoPro's main window, there's a button there for quality scan.

You can get the service pack through the built-in Automatic Updates feature or by downloading the whole stuff

After you do that, give the other mentioned softwares a shot too. No AV solution can detect everything.

First of all, you should always use the latest version of ImgBurn. Older versions aren't supported. 16x is only reached near the end of the burn (i.e. when the burning laser is near the border of the disc). If there isn't enough data to completely fill the disc (e.g. less than ~4gb) then it won't reach 16x because it won't need to burn near the border. You can add as many SATA burners as your system can handle and one won't impact performance of the other. As for opening several instances of ImgBurn, the bottleneck will be the HDD(s) where the image/files are being read from: if it can't keep up with the speed then there will be buffer underruns. You can use the burners in sequence by using the Queue feature, have you looked at it?

Have you tried all those cleaners to make sure your system is clean?

If ImgBurn is using the BIN extension then the disc's content can't be saved as an ISO file. And WinRAR/7-Zip/etc can't open BIN files. Let ImgBurn save the images in BIN/CUE format and Ner0 ImageDrive should be able to mount them from the CUE file.

Follow the post all the way (deleting controllers and rebooting) and it should go back to normal. And no, ImgBurn doesn't touch that stuff: it was probably caused by your faulty HDD and/or buggy drivers (check for newer drivers for your chipset/SATA controller). By the way there's newer firmware available for your burner.

First make sure your burner has the latest firmware available. You can use DVDInfoPro and Ner0 DiscSpeed to do quality scans on your burned discs.

Your drive doesn't seem to support the dye used in that disc, and that's why the burn fails. Get the Verbatim blanks specified here and it'll probably work. And next time please post a log from ImgBurn. We don't support other software.

Do you get exactly that maximum number of secrets error? If you do you're also infected

Please search this board for semaphore timeout and you'll find out more about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface You can use it to automate ImgBurn's operations. Have a look in ImgBurn's Read Me and you'll see

Do you have Daemon Tools or Alcohol 120%?

Update ImgBurn. Try burning at 4x or 6x, and when that doesn't work, please read this: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000
