Apparent program hang

[Gidds]

When trying to burn an .img file to a disk, the program gets to Verifying Write Parameters" and appears to go no further and hang

So i try to cancel out of the burn and it just hangs and i end up having to actually reboot my computer ..frustrated

 

At first i thought the program was just failing all together

but i started a burn and just left it to run overnight just to see what would happen

and sure enough, the next day the file was burned on the disk and all was well

 

In looking at the log, there was a 3 hour hang, then it did the burn in like 20 minutes and all was well

 

I'm running Windows XP pro

with an External Plextor PX-740A

type of cd makes no difference

and the IDE controllers are set to DMA

 

Anyone have any ideas??

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Press F8 just before you press the 'Write' button.

 

It'll put some more info in the log and then perhaps we can tell exactly which command your drive is having trouble processing.

 

I would guess that the 3 hour wait is it timing out and then going onto the next command - which it does like and is processing instantly.

[Gidds]

okay, i'll try that ...in roughly 2 more hours i will

[Gidds]

I'm doing all this via remote desktop and was able to reboot the computer remotly

so here is the new log...

..and now it sits and waits

[dontasciime]

check to see if there is a firmware update for your enclosure.. you could also switch I/O interface to winaspi32 to see if that fairs any better.

you would need winaspi32.dll in system32 folder, you may get away with just having it in ImgBurn's folder

 

Is the plextor set to master in the enclosure ?

 

Are there any newer firmware updates for your writer ?

 

 

If the usb2 your using is through a hub, addin pci card or front/side usb try using the dedicated ones on the motherboard, try another usb cable to rule it out as well.

[Gidds]

what do you mean by "enclosure"

 

The external plextor, has the most up to date firmware

 

It is connected directly to my computer, no hub

and its a USB1 not 2

[dontasciime]

Well an enclosure is what you would use to put in a DVD writer (making an external DVD writer).

If yours came like that and is plextor's external drive it has a ide to usb controller in it , a chipset to deal with connectivity etc, some you can upgrade to overcome problems.

 

External devices are kinda only worth considering if you have USB 2, is the plextor also capable of firewire if so and you have firewire on your mobo try using firewire instead of usb.

 

 

just looked on plextors site the drive you list according to them is internal, so i assume now you bought it from ebay or somewhere that picked an enclosure and built it up to sell to you etc.

 

I may be mistaken only going by what i found at plex's site, someone feel free to correct me if i have gone off the path.

The drive/enclosure/drivers are forcefully terminating the command - long before it/they should be.

 

I guess it's then not recovering properly and hence that's why the next command isn't being processed and why ImgBurn then appears to hang.

 

The "The semaphore timeout period has expired" error is all too common on USB drives but nobody really knows why they happen. If you can avoid using USB, do so.

If you really are only using USB 1.0, you'd do well to buy a decent USB 2.0 card and plug the drive into that instead. You can't even burn DVD's at 1x over USB 1.0.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

donta,

 

internals and externals often share the same ID string so you can't just go by that - incase you were?

[Gidds]

You know, just when i think I'm getting good/knowledgeable about computers

Guys like you come along and make me feel Dumb again

#39;(

 

Apparently, it IS listed as an internal drive, i did not know this

I'll take a closer look at it when home tonight

 

I knew it would run better / faster plugged into a usb2, and i was going to buy a card for my PC

but now I'm thinking I'd be better off buying a firewire card instead

and that might fix the trouble, and obviously speed me up at the same time

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Are you running it on a laptop or a normal PC?

 

If it's a normal PC, why can't you just plug it in via IDE? Then you wouldn't have these issues

[Gidds]

its ontp of my PC now

but i got an external so i COULD use it on my laptop, tho i've never even bothered to do that

 

it's in a nice "enclouser" now

and you would never know from looking at it that it was originally an internal device

 

i've ordered a PCI / Firewire card for $12

that will fix things up ...i Hope

 

btw

thanks for all the info

[Gidds]

Well, i got my USB2 / Firewire card, and you were right!

tho i haven't tired the USB2 port, it works just great on the firewire hookup

 

Also, I did dig out the box my Plextor External came in

The web site was wrong, it was made by, and came from Plextor...

 

Anyhow, thanks for the help

The program works like a Champ!
