Lock Volume Failed

[dunlop]

Good Evening... The last few days have been getting the Lock Volume failed when using the latest version of ImageBurn. When I click on continue ...it proceeds to to a flawless burn. Did a searech and read the FAQ below.

 

www.sysinternals.com apparently no longer a functioning website. Can't find any other program using the drive....as I said --- I am happy with the outcome...just wondering what's going on.

Thanks in advance

 

 

 

Problem:

You get an error saying 'Unable to lock volume for exclusive access'

 

A.K.A. 'DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) Failed!'

 

If the 'Reason' given is 'Access is denied' (or words to that effect)

 

Another program is currently using the drive. You need to find out what it is and shut it down!

 

The only way I know of finding out what else has a 'handle' open to the drive is by using Process Explorer from www.sysinternals.com

Sysinternals redirects to Microsoft's site, which contains all the progs. In fact, a new version of Process Explorer was released yesterday.

Blutach/Mmalves...Thanks so much for your replies. Downloaded and ran the prog,but cannot for the life of me see any indication of any other driver running in the background!

As I said...once I hit the Continue tab the burn resumes uninterrupted. Just can't figure out what and why now. Only additional software I've installed recently was for a Logitech Webcam.

Thanks again

How are you arriving at Imgburn? In other words is it called upon by another program or are you opening it and choosing a pre-existing file from your HDD?

[blutach]

In Process Explorer, do a find. Type in "Cdrom" and see what the results are. Kill the thread for anything other than ImgBurn

I am opening from a Desk Top Short Cut which is what I've been doing since the first version of Image Burn came out.

If it helps at all -----below is a log from my last burn:

Anyone think a system restore could solve this?

As long as this isn't a harbinger of something worse... I can deal with a two second interruption in my burning process.

[blutach]

Is something trying to reset your DMA perhaps? Kill the handle and try again.

I think I would prefer to just "ignore" the warning than do a systems restore but then I am lazy Let us know how you get on after killing that DMASched...3704 Handle \Device\CdRom1

Eureka....thanks to all for your suggestions and links. Killed the :DMASched...3704 Handle \Device\CdRom1 and ImgBurn went right through the process without the nag. Apparently the conflict was coming from Sonic Express which is a DVD Cover/Label printer. You guys and gals rock!

[blutach]

Glad to see it worked. As an aside, you should not put adhesive labels on your DVDs.

I am having the same "locked" problem with the lates release. I never had any problem before. I will try the "colntinue" option and see what happens.
