awg811 Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I just bought some new Verbatim DL DVD+Rs yesterday and successfully burned an image. Today after work I tried to burn another and I get an I/O Error. I/O Error! Device: Lite-On DVDRW SHW-160H6S CS08 (E:) (ATA) ScsiStatus 0x02 Interpretation: Check Condition CDB: 2A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 Interpretation: Write (10) - Sectors: 0 -31 Sense Area: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 73 03 00 00 00 00 Interpretation: Power Calibration Area Error. If I click retry it comes back with the same error and if I click cancel it ends after finalizing and nothing gets burnt to the disk. Sometimes however it will start the burn without the error and about 51% through the error comes up at that point ruining my precious disk. Occassionally I also get the error can not get exclusive control of the device. Which I think I have solved by completely removing Sonic Media from my computer. I dont think this is a problem with the media as I use what everyone recommends...Verbatim. I also dont think its my burner because I am able to read cds/dvds and burn cds and single layer dvds with another program ( I havent tried to burn them with imgburn because I have my settings just as I want them and dont want to change them and cause more problems.) Maybe its the drivers? The firmware? Gremlins? Ive tried to update my firmware...however Lite-Off doesnt have updated firmware for my burner. Im actually using a firmware update from a similar Lite-Off burner that has been working great for almost a year now. I have burnt may DL DVDs in the past always using Verbatim. I just started having this problem today. I just updated my Imgburn today hoping that would solve the issue. I have reinstalled my burners drivers. I have even contacted HP to have them try some things. Of course its not there product thats the problem...same with Lite-Off...its the software. If anyone can help me solve this issue I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance for everything!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Please post the log from that failed burn (it's at Help/ImgBurn logs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 The only thing that can cause power calibration errors is the drive/media combo. As you're already using the best media available, it's pretty much got to be the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awg811 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 lastnight after just letting imgburn set open for an hour.... i tried another burn....it went thru and burnt using the same disk i was trying before....i got the error again at the end after 100% completion just before it closed the disk....i waited until morning letting it sit while i slept and this morning retried to close the disk and it closed. the dvd works fine. so i tried after work after letting imgburn set open all day...and it got half way thru the burn and gave the error again...ruining another disk. i will try again later to burn another and hopefully i wont waste another disk. thanks for all your help...but i cant see how this could be a problem with the burner...i cant say its not the media or the file that im burning or some other conflict however...i just hope that it goes away...lol thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blutach Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Either you got a duff batch of disks (unlikely - they are the best there is) or the drive is cactus. Try cleaning it, or failing that, buy a new one. Also, check your DMA. See http://www.cdr-zone.com/articles/atapi_err...des_page_1.html for an explanation of this error.

Regards i think my dma was bad according to HP the sonic media they installed factory gets corrupted by media player updates. my dma was in there and since i dont use sonic media anyway...i uninstalled and deleted the folder... i did see dmascheduler.exe in there. how do i go about getting it back? lol every search comes up with some virus info. thanks for your help! btw...if i just let everything sit for awhile i can complete a burn i just have to wait until i get the error...wait longer....then click retry....and it will complete.
