xnusense Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) just got my optirac ad 7240s and it will only write DVD+R DL at 3.8x to 4.0x how do i write at 2.4x help please Edited October 16, 2009 by xnusense
mmalves Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 And what's the problem with that? The slowest speed doesn't necessarily result in a better quality burn, especially on new burners like the 7240S. Post the log of the most recent dual-layer burn you've made (look in ImgBurn's Help menu).
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Why's this in 'Chat' ?! Moved to 'ImgBurn Support'.

Post the log of the most recent dual-layer burn you've made (look in ImgBurn's Help menu). i cant waste my last verbatim disc the log was saying failed to write sector reason: communicatin error crc something? DMA Loads of times and had about 260 retries ive updated it to the latest firmware 1.03 Edited October 17, 2009 by xnusense
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Then you have a general communication (drive -> controller on the motherboard) problem and it's nothing to do with write speeds. You can access the previous logs via the 'Help' menu.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 What controller is the drive actually attached to? Intel, Nvidia, JMicron, Marvell? Have you tried a new cable?
xnusense Posted October 17, 2009 Author Posted October 17, 2009 nvidia nforce and i havent tried a new cable yet this cable im using worked fine on my hard drive
xnusense Posted October 18, 2009 Author Posted October 18, 2009 thanks anything else i can do i cant use my last disc until i can be sure. does Sataraid help
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 18, 2009 Posted October 18, 2009 I doubt this error is specific to DVD+R DL, burn a rewritable or some a DVD-R when 'Test Mode' is enabled until you get the problem sorted.
xnusense Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 what about which sata port i use is there a certain one it should be in
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 That depends, do you have 2 SATA controllers on your board? Sometimes the main chipset will only run 2/4/6 of them and the additional ones (i.e. making 4/6/8) will be on another 3rd party controller. What do you see listed in device manager under the scsi controllers and ide/ata controller branches?
xnusense Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers NVIDIA Nforce4 Parallel ATA Controller NVIDIA Nforce4 Serial ATA Controller NVIDIA Nforce4 Serial ATA Controller cant find scsi controllers
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 It would be 'Storage Controllers' now in Vista+ if that makes any difference?
xnusense Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) im on windows xp and i can only find storage volumes oh yh i have 4 sata ports aswel Edited October 19, 2009 by xnusense
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Ok so you don't have any 3rd party controllers on your board then. The latest drivers for the nforce4 chipset are these - http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_winxp_15.23.html If you've already loaded them on then there's nothing more you can do.
xnusense Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 ok thanks one more thing ive got my dvd drive plugged into the SATA 0 slot is there a specific one it should be in heres my motherboard: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=1867&ProductName=GA-K8N%20Ultra-SLI
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 No, they're all the same. That said, you'd normally put the hdd on sata0 though and the optical drive on sata1 or something. Of course if you don't have any sata hdd's then that doesn't apply.
xnusense Posted October 19, 2009 Author Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) ok thanks alot mate big help :D Edited October 19, 2009 by xnusense
