Stuck at "Synchronising Cache"

[adamgoldberg]

I have two drives, a Sony DRU-510A and a Pioneer DVR-112. Using ImgBurn 2.4.2.0, WinXP SP3, on EITHER drive, in EITHER 'verify' or 'burn' modes, it hangs on "Synchronising Cache".

 

Help?!

 

I 16:26:02 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

I 16:26:02 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3)

It seems the drive doesn't like the media you're using. Try other write speeds and also check if you're using the latest firmware available for your burners.

I've tried two drives... neither one likes the Philips CD-R?

but have you tried any other brands of media ? and does it do the same with them or not ?

Are both the burners you tried with USB connected?

 

Tried with a lower burning speed?

[adamgoldberg]

Tried with two brands of CD-R, Philips and Imation. Haven't tried lower speeds yet.

 

The Sony is connected via USB. The Pioneer is connected PATA.

 

Update: Have tried a DVD+R, which worked fine.
