IMGBURN Stuck

[rheemixed]

ImgBurn always gets stuck for me (at different completion percentages). It will burn just fine for a few minutes and then Write Rate will --> 0 and it just stops there. I can hear disc spinning, but no light is on for the optical drive.

 

I'm pretty sure all my drivers are up to date (updated them through device manager).

 

I've also tried burning at all supported speeds (2x, 4x, 6x, 8x)

 

I am currently using 4.7GB DVD-R disc from Gigaware.

 

By the way, I am trying to burn Windows 7 onto a dvd on my Vista laptop so I can install it on my first PC build :-)

 

Here's the log. While the burn always stops at different completion times, it always gets stuck here on the log.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks ahead of time!

What chipset does your motherboard use? Intel, nvidia etc. Don't rely on drivers from Windows Update being up-to-date, they aren't.

 

Is there a specific reason for not putting Vista SP2 on?

 

Have you tried with other (decent) discs? RITEKF1 aren't exactly great. Try with Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden.

 

There's a 1.54 firmware update for your drive here:

Hey Lightning-

 

Didn't realize I only had SP1, so I DLed SP2 as well as the 1.54 firmware update for my optical drive. Burn was SUCCESSFUL!!

 

Thanks for your help! Now, if only it would stop saying my product key is invalid...

I you have a legal purchased key, contact them, solve the problem. If not... learn to use Google.
