Can't finalize, IO error maybe?

[Exige]

Okay, so before I say anything, it's probably not my Memorex discs or the images, I checked the images... and my friend has successfully burned 3 backups on his computer. Anyway, here is the error report... any help is great, thanks.

 

I 14:28:43 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

I 14:28:43 Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Edition (6.1, Build 7600)

I 14:28:43 Total Physical Memory: 2,077,044 KB - Available: 1,049,748 KB

W 14:28:43 SPTD can have a detrimental effect on drive performance.

I 14:28:43 Initialising SPTI...

I 14:28:43 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

I 14:28:43 Found 1 DVD

Try at 2.4x.

 

See if you can find a firmware update for you drive.

 

Try cleaning the drive.

Well, they do burn on my friend's drive perfectly...

 

I tried to find a firmware update but to no avail. Do you recommend doing the regionfree firmware hack?

Your friend has the same burner?

The regionfree stuff has nothing to do with this problem. Please read this -> http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

 

If your friend doesn't have exactly the same burner model and firmware then it isn't a fair comparison, is it?

Well true, but to assert it may not be the media, but I can see how certain medias and certain drives may disagree. The whole thing burns but doesnt finalize... I ust change the firmware to an unofficial B10 from the Apple A12 thanks to RPC1.org's file server. I'll post here after this burn with results.

[Exige]

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT install BP10 for the GSA S10N... works worse. This is coaster after coaster over here, and I can't reflash with anything else. Stuck on BP10 until I find a solution.

You should never go between firmware from different OEM's.

 

What does the AP12 firmware flasher say when you try to flash it back?

[Exige]

Says nothing. here is the image:

You should be able to use MCSE to patch the AP12 firmware to work with your (what is now) BP10 drive.

Hey that worked great, thanks a lot. Loaded up the orig EXE in MCSE, saved it out, and voila, worked. I'll try burning again.

Alright, I though tit burned alright, it got to the end, but it had similar errors. I tried to burn again in safe mode, and I got this from ImgBurn:

 

ScsiStatus: 0x02

Interpretation: Check Condition

 

CDB: 2A 00 00 19 10 20 00 00 20 00

Interpretation: Write (10) - Sectors: 1642528 - 1642559

 

Sense Area: 70 00 04 00 00 00 00 0A 35 01 04 3E 09 01 00 00 00 00

Interpretation: Tracking Servo Area

 

 

Could that possibly pinpoint the issue more-so? And I'm going to create a second boot of windows Vista 32 bit, hopefully that does this issue some good.

You can try all you want but it still boils down to your burner being unable to write the media you're using. Can you not try some Verbatim blanks to see if it isn't a burner problem?

[Exige]

Yeah, I'll buy some of those sometime soon and repost.
