Recommended Posts

I get this: ajtjs3.jpg

 

With "Run as Administrator" and my Limited account both.

 

Blank disc is in drive, worked fine in XP.

 

Specs:

 

Windows 7 Professional

Samsung SH-S203B on ICH9R

Imgburn 2.5.0.0

Interface: SPTI

Media: Verbatim MCC-004-00

 

Thanks,

Shesh, who knew the freaking Matrix drivers were so critical. I've been using an ICH southbridge for many generations and never installed them.

 

It will allow me to set the booktype now but it claims it cannot show the current setting. I'm not sure if it was like this before or not. (Current setting says: "Unknown (No way to query current setting!) ). I assume this is just a limitation of the drive?

 

I don't have anything to write at the moment so hopefully that worked, thanks again for the help and this wonderful software. If I get impatient with my drive I'll check out that modded firmware :).

Yes, it's a limitation of all Samsung burners.

 

What is the limitation of Samsung drives?

 

on a second box I'm using the AMD 785G chipset and get the same booktype error on DVD+R and DVD+R DL with Win 7 and Samsung drive. No other drivers that I can see other than the stock MS ones.

Yes, I get the same exact error as the original poster. Have no problem reformatting and installing in IDE mode if that will fix it. thx

You can't ask the drive what its current setting is.

 

i.e. seeing 'Current setting: "Unknown (No way to query current setting!)"' is perfectly normal.
