GXY Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Hi there. tried to resolve this problem searching this forum and other resources, but im stuck im using imgburn 2.5.7.0 to burn some DVDs (verbatim DVD-R)'s from .ISO files i have. problem is: the drive takes ages to actually start writing, recognising the disc or something. when i going to start writing, it gets SEVERAL minutes while saying "getting disc information", or "terminating auto insert thread", or "locking drive for exclusive access" and such. with "several" i refer to 15+ minutes to actually start writing. info from the log I 14:28:48 ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 started!

(MODE1/2048, LBA: 0 - 2294911) and there goes writing which it does OK why taking 15 minutes to actually recognise the disc? i tried... - substitute the drive with another one. the previous one simply freezes (or takes even longer). the actual one is which taking 15 minutes to start writing - tried imgburn 2.5.8.0 and 2.5.7.0, same results. tried also another software to write. also same history. - tried to update the VIA VT6421 drivers, but are already up to date (latest version is of april 2011) im using a VIA VT6421 IDE/SATA controller since DVD writer is LG H55 IDE and my actual motherboard (asrock B75) doesnt have IDE bus, so i have to use a controller card to continue using my IDE writer any possible solution? thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Invest in an sata drive if the via card isn't working correctly with optical drives... Most raid cards don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXY Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 i'll try a SATA drive to discard if its a problem with the IDE controller. thanks for advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
