Have you tried at the other speeds the drive supports on that media? i.e. 4x, 6x, 8x and 10x?

[hrk1]

Yeah I did try other speeds and it still doesnt work

I even tried swapping the IDE Cable between 40 and 80 and still doesnt work

[LIGHTNING UK!]

You could try with some 2.4x Verbs instead but it shouldn't really have an issue with those 8x ones (unless you got a duff spindle?).

 

Maybe the drive is just faulty?

Just out of curiosity, are you using Microsoft IDE drivers or nVidia drivers?

[hrk1]

Im using Microsoft IDE Drivers and Intel SATA

I have a Dell 8400

[hrk1]

I should add I can read from backed up xbox games

[hrk1]

Never mind

I think the image was bad

because I tried burning a different image and IT WORKED!!

Thanks for all the help guys

I'm sorry to have to tell you this but the data you're burning doesn't even come into it.

[hrk1]

Well i dont really know

I tried burning Resident Evil and it works now ?
