kckas Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Hi, I am unable to burn pictures onto my Verbatim cd-r. I've tried using Roxio cd creator and it's not able to burn cds either. However it can still read cds just fine. I'm assuming I may need a new cd/dvd burner but I was hoping that maybe someone would help me here before I give up. TIA! Here is my log...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Try burning at 24x instead of Max. Is that drive in a Dell machine (or was it) ? If so, update the firmware to C109 http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/GSA-H73N/files.html
Rincewind Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 If that still doesn't work, perhaps it is the media? After all... I 18:29:18 Destination Media Type: CD-R (Disc ID: 97m17s06f, Moser Baer India) (Speeds: 16x, 24x, 40x, 48x Sorry to say, but how reliable is any kind of optical media from India?

If so, update the firmware to C109 http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/GSA-H73N/files.html Yes, I have a Dell. I'll try out your suggestions now. I appreciate your help! Edited January 4, 2011 by kckas
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 You did try and run the one in the Windows directory within the ZIP yeah?
kckas Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 You did try and run the one in the Windows directory within the ZIP yeah? Yea, I just saw that and changed my previous post. Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes.
kckas Posted January 4, 2011 Author Posted January 4, 2011 I received the same error after the changes. Should I assume I need a new cd/dvd drive. I think I'd like an external one.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Well, you could try some Taiyo Yuden CDs before buying a new drive but you might end up still needing one - still, at least the CDs wouldn't be wasted. External drives sometimes have 'semaphore timeout' issues. Personally, I'd stick with an internal (as yours is normal size and not slimline, when I'd then buy an external normal size!). There are lots of drive reviews on the internet if you Google for them. MyCE.com has quite a few (check their forum too). I'd probably go for the latest model Optiarc / LiteOn (B series hardware) or something.
