ImgBurn hangs on erasing R/W discs

[duckegg]

When IB erases a disk prior to writing an iso image, it never continues to the next step writing an iso image to disk, Nor will it allow me to intervene and take back control.

Every time I wait for the disc to stop spinning and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Del to invoke Windows task Manager to force IB to quit.

Then I re-run IB to write the iso file. This invariably carries out OK which proves the delete has actually occured!!

 

I Am using v. 2.5.0.0 on Win XP, but it did the same with the last version also.

 

Otherwise, a great programme!

It might hang (or what you think is a hang) on your machine but it's certainly not a bug with ImgBurn or we'd all suffer from it - and we don't.

 

Post something useful like a log file.

There is a later firmware for that drive.

Have you tried with another brand of RWs?

 

How long do yo wait until you kill the process. That format process should take around 15 minutes.

You can also press F8 during the format to see if commands are still being sent to and processed by the drive - they'll scroll up in the Log window.

 

If they aren't then your entire I/O system has messed up somewhere. That could be due to something like bad controller drivers or a bad filter driver.
