Unable to burn Miscrosoft Memory Diagnostics

[Arvid Almstrom]

I am unable to burn Miscrosoft's Memory Diagnostics ISO on to disk. I get an error telling me it 'Failed to send Cue Sheets'.

 

I have been able to burn this using ISO Record so I know there isn't anything wrong with ISO file. I have tried with version 1.2 and 1.3 but with the same result. I also had just burn another disk which worked fine and I have tried two different types of media.

 

 

Here is the log entries from the failed burn.

That could be because it's under 150 sectors. Some drives won't burn tracks under 2 seconds (150 sectors) in SAO mode.

I'll be buggered. I didn't know that. I'm guessing the solution would be to pad the ISO out a bit? Interesting...

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Yup, that or switch to TAO (track at once) mode burning.

 

I don't really do any CD burning, or if I do, it's never something so small!

 

If I had, I'd have probably taken the time to implement the basic TAO recording method as a fallback if SAO can't be done.

[Shamus_McFartfinger]

A 38k ISO does seem a tad on the small side. Why does TAO succeed when SAO fails? A different set of rules?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Yup, TAO is just dumb and can only burn a single track - of any size. It's not very flexible and forces certain things that you might not actually want.

 

To use SAO you have to send a cuesheet, and it's the individual items (tracks) in the cuesheet that have to be over 2 seconds (150 sectors) in length.

Ah! That makes sense. Thanks mate.
