Syncronising Cache forever

[andreaandrea]

Hi,

I burned a program on a dvd but at the end of the process ImgBurn froze on "99% - Syncronising Cache".

The status bar were: Complete 100%, Buffer 0%, Device Buffer 0% but on the bottom of the program there was the syncronising cache at 99%. I waited for about 10 minutes but nothing happened. For this reason I had to cut it off with the task manager.

If I launch the Verify disc, ImgBurn shows "Operation Successfully Completed!"... so now can I be sure that the burning process has been successful? Or shall I to repeat the burning process over again?

Here's the log:

ImgBurn hasn't frozen, it's just waiting for that task to complete. It's polling your drive every second to find out if it has.

 

So either your drive got stuck or your Sata controller drivers are messing things up and saying things are still in progress when they aren't - i.e. not forwarding on the true response from the drive.

 

If verification passed, the data side of things is fine (present and correct). When burns fail to finish nicely, it sometimes means the disc won't be recognised in some drives though. Just bare that in mind.

Ok, so it is just a visual error and the burning is fine.

Anyway if the verification passed and I can be sure that the data on my disc is fine, I can safely ignore this error and I can keep burning. Am I right?

That's not exactly the conclusion I come to when reading my last reply.

 

I'd burn it again until it completes without having to terminate the process... fixing drivers / the OS as I go until it works.... but maybe that's just me?
