Getting discs control block information ...

[sandybridge]

Folks,

 

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with all the latest patches; the DVD burner is a LG GH22NS50 with the latest firmware (TN02). After burning an ISO

image to a DVD, Imageburn 2.5.1 hangs while "Getting discs control block information ..." displayed in the main window. The DVD drive spins, and the

DVD cannot be ejected. Only way to get out of this is to shutdown the machine. The DVD seems to be burned OK - if I check "Verify", the verification

works OK but is followed by the "Getting discs control block information ..." hang. This is a typical log file

The last line occurs after I try to close the ImgBurn window.

 

Now, I've tried a different drive (LG GH10N) with the same results, and three different DVD blanks. Chipset drivers are current. CDs can be written OK.

 

Any ideas what might be causing this?

If it won't process that command then it must be related to the controller drivers or a filter driver.

 

What controller is the drive actually attached to?

 

The drive itself should be fine with it (I have one of those myself).

It's on the Intel ICH9, port 2 or 3. The controller is configured as AHCI. Nothing too fancy ...

 

I tried something else - if there's an empty DVD in the drive when Imgburn starts up, everything's OK. When

there's a non-empty (i.e. non-writable) disc in there, the hang occurs immediately when I switch to Write mode.

That would make sense because the command is only issued on DVD+R media and only if it isn't empty.

 

You're quite sure you've the latest version of this installed?

(You'd want 'STOR_allOS_9.6.0.1014_PV.exe')

Installing the new driver actually solved the issue - many thanks!

 

Beginning of March, there was a similar thread ... maybe the same solution could apply there.
