TSSTcorp SG-S223C w/ Windows 7 burning issues

[sputnick]

Greetings. New to ImageBurn and the forums, but I'm hoping someone can help.

 

Just built a new rig and installed Windows 7 Professional x64. My optical drive is a new TSSTcorp CDDCDW SG-S223C SB02 (Samsung OEM). It reads and installs programs fine, but I have not been able to get it to burn anything.

 

I tried the Windows 7 image burning utility and it returned an error every time after ruining a disk: 0xC0AA0301

 

I tried both a DVD+R and a CD-R (trying to burn my downloaded MS Office '07 ISO file).

I updated the firmware to SB02 via both Samsung's ODD tool and manually. I have not seen any type of individual driver available beyond what Windows installed. I set the regional code to US.

 

Some posts online suggested ImageBurn, yet still no luck. When I try the burn in test mode, it goes through fine. When I try it for real, here is the log of the error (upon the 1st retry, it completely hung) - any help is greatly appreciated!

Use better discs.

 

For CD burning you want Taiyo Yuden discs and nothing else.

 

Drop the write speed down to 16x - 24x too.

[sputnick]

Thank you for the reply. I'll certainly get out and grab some better discs next chance I get, but must imagine this should be doable w/ regular CDs (using Memorex brand).

 

I tried dropping the write speed down to 16x and got an instant I/O Error stating ScsiStatus: 0x02 (interpretation: check condition) ... this isn't a SCSI drive though

 

Here's the log. Any other suggestions, or is it really just disc quality?

Don't concern yourself with the internals of cd/dvd drive programming, the 'scsi' name is still in use from when the functions were first created.

 

It's the drive that keeps reporting a write error when trying to write to the media so I can only assume it's the disc... you won't know until you try some other/better ones.
