richmoral Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I've never gotten errors before and now I'm getting this I/O Error. I was using ImgBurn 2.4.2.0 before and since updating have gotten this I/O Error. I'm going to revert back to 2.4.2.0 and hopefully won't get Errors as I've never had problems with it before. I've tried burning this DVD5 twice so far and have gotten errors both times. This is the first time I've tried burning this and my first time burning using ImgBurn 2.4.4.0 Here's my log: I 13:52:41 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

mmalves Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I 13:53:06 Destination Device: [2:1:0] TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-H653Z 4303 (E:) (RAID)I 13:53:06 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: MCC-004-00) (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x) I 13:53:06 Write Speed: 4x Reverting to an older ImgBurn version probably won't solve this problem, which has been around for a while. Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot the computer after updating is finished). What's the brand of the media you're using? Try burning at 8x or 12x for possibly better results. Do you use RAID? I'm asking because RAID controllers and optical drives don't play nicely together, so change it to AHCI at least or IDE compatibility mode if you can.

Never had a problem with them before. I've always burned at 4X without any problems before as well. I don't know if I'm using RAID or not. I haven't changed any of the settings on the computer. It's still relatively new. I got it late last year when my old computer burned out on me. Weird now the drive is having a problem reading the original source DVD that I was backing up.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Not having seen the problem before doesn't really mean anything. I improve error detection / reporting in each version. That's to say, an error that might have gone unnoticed in a previous version will now be reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great now it's not even reading the original DVD. Edited April 28, 2009 by richmoral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'm not saying that's the case here, I'm just telling you that you can't assume anything. PMA errors are common with samsung (and liteon) drives, have been for ages now. It seems to depend on the amount you're burning to the disc and the only people that can fix it are the ones that write the firmware/design the chipset.

Now I'm trying to fix the computer because the DVDRW drive won't read anything now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
