I/O errors during verifying

[Harry Baules]

I switched drives to the one you see in the log. The writing process seemed to be succesful but I had errors during the verifying. Any ideas what it could be?

It looks to me as a Dell OEM Nec writer.

 

There are later firmwares for that one and it should be possible to flash it up to the latest based on some other forum posts.

1.x is for MASTER and 2.x is for SLAVE.

 

So assuming that you have it set up for Master - I would try with the 103D version. As you have tried with other writers and you know that the flash could go wrong I would go for a try.

 

The only other real option is to get a new writer that works with DL media.

Guess what? After posting the error I shut down IMG and reopened it. Then I tried verifying again and it worked. I've written three so far today with success.

 

But I would still be interested in upgrading the writer to a more DL friendly one. Would you mind giving me any suggestions?

Never used any slim line writers - so no clue. Here are some known brands models.

 

Samsung S082H or Optiarc AD-7630A/AD-7633A.

 

Both the Samsung and the Optiarcs allows 8x DL burning.
