DerEnglaender Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) Hi guys. I recently formatted my pc and now imgburn has trouble setting the booktype of my +DL discs. No hardware changes were made, and the only difference at all I can see is that the device ID of the drive no shows up as [4:0:0] and I think it was [1:0:0] before although I cant be 100% sure about taht. i uplaoded a screenshot of the program window. does anybody have an idea what might have caused this upset and how to remedy it? if any additional informatin is required just tell me. thanks a lot.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 It's probably down to whatever drivers you've got installed for the controller the drive is connected to.
DerEnglaender Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 It's probably down to whatever drivers you've got installed for the controller the drive is connected to. its connected on an IDE cable (80 pin, master, only device) directly to the motherboard. So you reckon the problem is with the motehrboard drivers? Ill give that a go and post back. Thanks for the help.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 What motherboard do you have? Most modern ones don't even have an 'on chip' IDE interface so the manufactures add a 3rd party controller chip. I'm guessing that's the case here too as other wise the device wouldn't be showing up as 'SCSI', it would say 'ATA'. Motherboard bios updates usually update the bios for the controller chip too, so be sure to look into those whilst you're hunting down updated drivers.
DerEnglaender Posted June 28, 2008 Author Posted June 28, 2008 ASUS P5K SE is the motherboard I have. Well I had hte msot up-to-date drivers isntalled aording to the website, so I got out the CD I got with the motherboard, and there was a Marvell RAID driver. I've never isntalled that driver, but I thought that I ight as well try it, nothing to lose. And after a reboot it worked. So thanks for the advice, was right on the money. ImgBurn ftw
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Ok well the one on the CD is bound to be out of date so now I'd goto the marvell site and download the latest one.
