Failed write, read error. New writer question.

Hi. I was burning an image like usual. And my lovely writer messed it up again. Here's the log.

 

I 20:25:17 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

I 20:25:17 Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Dodatek Service Pack 2)

I 20:25:17 Total Physical Memory: 1

Your drive supports those discs are various different speeds. Have you tried burning at all of them?

 

The buffer problems suggest your machine has trouble streaming data quickly enough to the drive. Is your E:\ drive just a partition or is it a physical drive? Something else must be using it if the machine can't even sustain 8mb/s.

 

Don't buy a 112, they're ancient now. Get the new 116/117/118 (or 216/217/218) model.

Thanks for your answer. I formerly used 4x speed, but it gave me a lot of I/O errors. When I started using 6x, I was getting them rarer that on 4x and I used 6x since then. About buffer problems, I've been wondering about them as well, I always free as much memory as I can before the write, but they still happen every few writes, it seems to be kinda random. E:\ drive is partition. And about the writer, I noticed that there are 3 versions: 116, 116D, 116DBK. Do you know what are the differences between them and which one is the best for DLs? Thanks in advance.

116D doesn't do DVD-RAM

 

DBK is probably just a 116D with a black front? (rather than cream/silver)
