[Leadin Failed w/ Taiyo Yuden]

Well, God help me. I threw on an old version of Nero, and got the exact same error.

 

8:04:02 AM #25 CDR -1046 File Writer.cpp, Line 303

If that looks slightly confusing, I've decided to try some "alternative" firmwares, with no better results btw.

Anything there?

[Leadin Failed w/ Taiyo Yuden]

And no one else has reported problems with TYG03 on a Pioneer 111D?

[Leadin Failed w/ Taiyo Yuden]

Tried a few from the top, and couple from about the middle. It's only a 25 pack. Here's one from the bottom:

The way it produces exactly the same error every time gives me hope that it is only a software conflict, but I can't figure out what it is.

[Leadin Failed w/ Taiyo Yuden]

It was meritline. I've never had a problem with them before, and it's a retail box too. Top quality little case they come in I might add.

[Leadin Failed w/ Taiyo Yuden]

You get the same error with SPTI instead of Elby I/O [edit] I see you changed back to SPTI.

 

What about WNASPI32 or should i check your log again

 

 

I tried Adaptec aspi, didn't try Nero aspi. I also didn't even realize that I had the Elby error on there till I pasted it, but I figured why not, you can see it's the same error then. It was the last thing I tried before I pretty much gave up this morning and decided to ask for help. Using an air can didn't help. I'm still looking the a cleaning disc. I know there's one around here somewhere, but I'm off to work now.

[Leadin Failed w/ Taiyo Yuden]

incremental didn't work :-( will try cleaning as soon as i can find my cleaning disc.

[Leadin Failed w/ Taiyo Yuden]

have you tried at 8x?

 

4x,8x,10x,12x. doesn't seem to matter

[Leadin Failed w/ Taiyo Yuden]

I just got some new Taiyo Yuden 16x DVD-Rs, and I can't get them to work at all. I am very frustrated after messing with this for a whole day now. I've gone though a 50 pack of Verbatim 16x, and previously another 50 pack a Taiyo Yudens, without any serious problems before. I think the old TY discs might have been 8x, and I burned those with Nero. At some point during the Verbatims I switched to Imageburn. Anyway, I've never had a problem like this before. I really don't want to go back to Nero, but I can't get any of these new discs to burn. They all fail exactly the same way in the LeadIn. Doesn't matter if I try it at a slower speed. I've upgraded my BIOS. I've tried using different IO methods. I'm not sure if it's even writing anything as the discs still appear to be blank after I try it(thank God). I tried one of my girlfriend's Verbatim Lightscribe 16x discs this morning with no issues at all. Also, test mode goes all the way through without a hitch. It doesn't fail until I turn test mode off. I'm not sure what else I can try. I usually get this stuff on my own, but I need to ask for help here. Here's the log:
