chron_4 Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) Okay well after having many problems backing up my dvds and using the advice given from you guys on this site, I replaced my burner with a Pioneer 112D drive and purchased two 20 packs of Verbatim DVD+R DL's (as some of you may already know). Everything was working fine until one day everything just went to sh** (which is the exact same thing that happened with my last burner/media combination ). I burned a good 8 back-ups before I started receiving the error messages. Some of them are mid-burn, others are during finalization or verification. I've wasted 6 or 7 Verbatims trying to fix this problem, which I am not so happy about . What is going on?! I even reformated my computer to make sure it wasn't because of some sort of virus or bug. Here is the log from my last burn: I 14:59:17 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

chewy Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 I looked at your past posts and gathered your computer is 3 years old is your burner on an 80 conductor cable at the end jumpered master or like a lot of dell's cable select? disconnect any other drive on the cable, use a new good cable use sl disks to test with, burn at max speed and verify everything is good and clean inside, all fans including power supply?
chron_4 Posted September 9, 2007 Author Posted September 9, 2007 I looked at your past posts and gathered your computer is 3 years old is your burner on an 80 conductor cable at the end jumpered master or like a lot of dell's cable select? Actually I just counted the wires on the conductor cable and it turns out its a 40, not an 80. Would that be the problem? Is my burner permanently damaged from using the 40?
chewy Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 no damage done, except maybe to your wallet, get an 80 conductor cable, put the pioneer at the end of it, jumper it master, and make sure any other optical drive is disconnected and make sure that your computer will burn single layer disks at max make sure dma is enabled in bios and device manager after changing the cable let's try to dot every i and cross every t
chron_4 Posted September 9, 2007 Author Posted September 9, 2007 make sure dma is enabled in bios and device manager after changing the cable Thanks for the help chewy. So how would I go about doing the above? Sorry but my knowledge of things of this sort is limited. Running to the store to pick up the cable now..
chewy Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 just access bios and make sure dma is enabled, no telling what might happen with a dell bios if you can't get into bios try a burn anyway after looking in device manager like you did before
BoSox2882 Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 Why should he disconnect the other drives? Is it OK to have 2 burners on one cable? Are you suppose to make sure the master is at the end of the cable?
chron_4 Posted September 9, 2007 Author Posted September 9, 2007 (edited) I bought the 80 conductor cable, plugged it into the master drive only (my dvd+-rw), enabled DMA on that drive and everythings working great again . Thanks chewy! Btw, what does DMA mean anyways? Also, I too am curious as to why I should only have the ribbon plugged into one drive. Edited September 9, 2007 by chron_4
chewy Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 when there might be 2 or three things going wrong, it's best to eliminate all of them and go for an optimal configuration, I suspect the power supply is getting weak especially when testing with expensive dual layer media once you get everything working you can rehook the other drive in the middle position as slave and retest personnally I would be looking for a new power supply, it's one of the first things to upgrade on a computer dma is just a mode where windows uses the southbridge chipset to handle Input/Output to and from the drive vs slower pio mode where the cpu does the work
