drivel Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I have a Samsung SH-S183L burner that I've owned for about 5 months. It suddenly stopped burning discs of all different kinds. I was initially thinking crappy media problems; I usually buy the cheap stuff. But then I tried running the burn in test mode, and it still failed to complete the burn. It's giving me I/O errors. I'm thinking the drive is crapping out, even though it's still reading just fine. I was just looking for a second opinion. Below is my error log. I also attached the screen shot of the error.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 You've got DMA issues. Check your motherboard bios / drive firmware / cable to drive. Update or replace where required. Then follow the DMA post in the FAQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drivel Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 You've got DMA issues. Check your motherboard bios / drive firmware / cable to drive. Update or replace where required. Then follow the DMA post in the FAQ. Yeah, I tried all these things. Then I realised, "Windows sucks. It's probably Windows sucking." I reinstalled Windows. Works like a charm. Thanks for the help.
