Arvid Almstrom Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 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. ============================ I 10:42:51 Initialising SPTI... I 10:42:51 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 10:42:51 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD?RW!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 That could be because it's under 150 sectors. Some drives won't burn tracks under 2 seconds (150 sectors) in SAO mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be buggered. I didn't know that. I'm guessing the solution would be to pad the ISO out a bit? Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus_McFartfinger Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 A 38k ISO does seem a tad on the small side. Why does TAO succeed when SAO fails? A different set of rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 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.
