kunit1 Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 (edited) Hi, lately I have been getting this error message with both imgburn and dvddecrypter I know that its not a problem with imgburn, but I was hoping that someone would help me solve this problem this error message appears when I try to burn a disc; the burner starts to write the lead in and as soon as it wants to start burning the data this message appears. OS: win xp burner: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10N firmware: JL10 media: DVD-R (Verbatim) thanx in advance Edited August 5, 2007 by kunit1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 You have DMA issues. Change the cable connected to the drive with a decent 40 pin, 80 wire one. Make sure the jumpers are configured correctly so that it's set as a master / slave (NOT cable select) and then put it in the correct position on the cable. The master should be at the end of the cable, slave in the middle, motherboard on the other end. Update your motherboard chipset drives and the ide controller ones. Then follow the post in the FAQ about DMA. You should also update the firmware on the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 It's nothing like the same error! Keep to your own threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunit1 Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 thanx LIGHTNING UK for the reply. My drive is set to master, its the only DVD drive connected to my motherboard. The IDE cable I am using came with my asus motherboard which I just installed last month I just flashed my DVD drive to JL12 I will also change the cable with the one installed in my other computer. btw: the DVD drive was working perfectly 3 Days ago will report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kunit1 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 problem solved FW update solved the problem but I still don't understand why it suddenly stopped working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 What motherboard did you buy again? Was it one that doesn't have a proper IDE port on the southbridge, but instead uses one by a 3rd party - i.e. JMicron? My new board has a JMicron one that gives me the same Ultra DMA 32 CRC error so I just don't bother using it. I think my problem is that I'm using a cable that's longer than normal though.

spinningwheel Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I think my problem is that I'm using a cable that's longer than normal though. HMMMMM....never heard someone blame failure on the fact that their 'cable' was longer than normal before.......I thought size didn't matter....I'll have to pm blu about that one............I read somewhere around here where his 'cable' was just a little shorter than normal..........

dontasciime Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Waste of space Jmicron (dunno why I Have been thinking they were Jbmicron) must have been a typo in one of my manuals. How long is the cable you have L_UK. above 70cm. Thing is most modern case you cannot use standard 46cm or is it 48cm 80 wire Ide they are just not long enough and get nowhere near where you need them. I have had to buy loads of 70cm ones, maybe some longer never had the errors others have had with longer cables but under the specs for Ide cable they do mention longer cables can cause all kinds of problems.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I use AC Ryan cables where the 2 connectors are right next to each other - which is of course perfect for optical drives. They do 30cm, 60cm and 1m (or 90cm, I can't remember exactly). I'm using 60's at the moment. I could probably get away with 45's from where my board connector is, but they'd need to develop them first. My Silicon Image card couldn't handle the 60cm cables and gave me the same UDMA/32 CRC errors as the JMicron controller. The onboard Intel one (on my old board) worked fine with them, as does my ITE card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 You like the sleeved ide cables then. I hate em, used them a few times and got data curruption and a couple of broken Hd's(mind you there were both 1 week old maxtor drives) 300gig and 250gig, everytime I use them something goes wrong, more than likey coincidence. Never used em since though. They must have started to make em after seeing your post http://www.acryan.com/_roundcables/ACR-RC9352.shtml 45cm unless of course you meant 15cm they just started to do them.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I'm talking about the ones they list as '1+1'. The connectors are virtually on top of eachother so they 'just' reach two drives if they're also on top of eachother. http://www.acryan.com/_roundcables/ACR-RC30901.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I see, thought maybe you had not been on their website for a while. Might have to look around to see if anyone makes them without them being rounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blutach Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 @spinner It's not the size but the quality - I have nice 80 wire cables, thank you very much! :D Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
