Bob Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 As I write this, ImgBurn is attempting to fully erase a disk. It reached 77% and just keeps trying.......... It happened once before with a Sony disk. So I took back the pack of 5 and swapped them for TDK's. I cant stop it. I can't exit the program. (Message: Erasing Disk. Sorry, you cannot cancel this operation.) After three and a half hours all thats left is to end program with Task Manager. What could be wrong? Heres the log.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Try updating the drives firmware (to KS0B) http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2056 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 Right, I have D/L and unzipped and now have a file described as an XFLASH file. What do I do? Put it on a CD and run it? This must be elementary stuff to you gurus but its strange and a bit scary to me. I've been searching for a howto guide but failed to find one.

mmalves Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Ensure there's no disc inside your burner, close the tray and run KS0B.EXE to update your firmware. After it has finished, reboot your computer and it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) Thank you mmalves, I have updated the firmware. I tried the disc again. There was an improvement. This time it stuck at 88% I have managed to format the disc on another 'puter using ImgBurn. Therefore I think it was perhaps not the firmware but time to replace the burner.

dontasciime Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Use a cd cleaner, try another brand of +RW or use -RW try and get Verbatim RW. If still no good get yourself a USB2 5.25 enclosure(with prolific pl3507 chipset if you can) and use it as a Reader/ (Writer with good media) and buy a new drive.
