ABD Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 I have been using Imgburn for years and never gotten this problem. I have used 3 different kind of +RW disks and all of them give this error. I also used a brand new disk and a different source the last time. As I type this, the writer is still synchronising, although the operation light is not flashing. What could be the problem?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 What controller is that drive attached to? This issue is often due to the controller, 'mode' of said controller (in your case, RAID) and the drivers. ImgBurn hasn't hung, it's just waiting for your drive to say it's finished.
ABD Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) It is attached to the sata controller built in the SB750 southbridge. It has always operated in raid mode. I did do a reinstall a couple of weeks ago, because I bought a SSD, so I probably used a different driver on my old install. I'll try a different driver and when that does not work I'll turn on the other controller in the BIOS. edit: now that I have thought about it: I used exactly the same drivers as on my old install. Those still were on my memorystick which I used during installation. Edited December 16, 2011 by ABD
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 All I can suggest is that you try the drivers listed here. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/raid_windows.aspx Optical drives don't like RAID mode drivers so if you have the option/ability to get it into AHCI mode, do so.
ABD Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 I have already installed the drivers you suggested, but it did not work. I have really no idea what has changed, I have been using that writer for about 2 years now on said controller in RAID mode. Anyway, I turned on the other controller, a shitty JMicron, and all works well again. I guess I have to get used to waiting 5 more seconds booting up;) Thank you for the support.
ABD Posted December 16, 2011 Author Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) I do have another question: because of the problem I had, I was looking at the log and I noticed this Book Type Setting: N/A (Reason: The semaphore timeout period has expired.) What is this and what can I do to fix it? I have a gigabyte mobo with 790x + sb750 chipset and extra gigabyte(JMicron)satacontroller. Must be the gigabyte controller. Edited December 16, 2011 by ABD
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Is it saying that now you're on the JMicron controller or did it say it before? The latest JMicron drivers can be found here - ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/SATA_Controller/Windows/ Don't forget about motherboard bios updates, they'll update the JMicron bios too.
