Hehe .. no, the post above yours shows like it looks now. I deleted the "Upper Class Filter: SiRemFil" and the "Lower Class Filter: PxHelp20" .. hope this won't lead into other problems? But i made a backup, before i deleted them.

I've changed some things and now it works!!! But i don't know which of the following changes helped me: I first updated my "Silicon Image SiI 3114 SoftRaid 5 Controller" and "Silicon Image's Pseudo Processor Device" with the latest drivers available on SI's site. Then i deleted the Upper Device Filter and Lower Device Filter Entries in the registry like explained in some threads of this forum: Then i tried to burn the same image again and it worked. Also the burn quality seems to be way better: - I checked the first (working) burn with kprobe and there were quite high PI and PIF errors (avg. PI above 300, max. PIF was 13 i think .. average 6) and also very much of them - the last burn is very good compared to the first one (avg. PI 21,38; max PIF 4 .. avg. PIF 0.14) I know the SH-S183A is not a serious quality verifying drive but i guess this huge difference in scanning results shows at least, that there is a quality difference. Thanks for all your help!

Ok .. so here it is:

No. Yes. Cause this specific Error message came up (Logical Unit Communication CRC Error (ULTRA-DMA/32)) I thought it can't be a media problem, but i hope now it is I will soon try to get my hands on other media and try again. Thanks so far for your answers! btw: I googled this problem and read some posts, that some boards produce problems when connecting a s-ata burner. Can anybody confirm this? I couldn't find any information on how Asus' A8N Sli Deluxe and the SH-S183A work together .. i have the latest bios on the board, even installed a newer beta bios, but the error comes up again ..

Thanks for your fast reply! I took a screenshot Filter Driver Load Order, since i don't know if it's ok or not ..

Hi there, i have a Samsung SH-S183A (S-ATA Burner) plugged to Nvidia S-ATA Controller Port 3 on my Asus A8N Sli Deluxe. Port 1 & 2 of this Controller are used for Raid-0 of two identical drives. To my problem: Yesterday i got my first DL media (Verbatim DVD+R DL 2,4 / MKM-001-00 / Made in India). I burned the first disc with the latest DVD-Decrypter (3.5.4.0) at 2,4 (higher speed wasn't possible) and it worked without problems. Then i realised that ImgBurn is made by the same developer as the outdated DVD-Decrypter and i installed the latest version of this app. When i started it i got an error like "DeviceIOControl (IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL) failed!". I ignored that but i have to mention that i don't got this error in DVD-Decrypter before but after installing ImgBurn it was also present in DVD-Decrypter. Then i started to burn my second DL Disc and here is the log: I 17:41:12 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

I 17:48:33 Closing Track... I 17:48:35 Finalising Disc... "Finalising Disc..." stops at 99% and i have to close ImgBurn by Taskmanager and the drive is locked (and still working) until i reset my pc. Then i tried another burn with DVD-Decrypter but there i now got the same problems. Burning of Single Layer Media works like before - no problems there. So is there any drivers or such things installed together with ImgBurn that may cause this? It can't be the wrong cable since it's S-ATA and to check if the cable is faulty i tried another one - but the problem remains ... Thanks in advance for any help!! greets PiLO
