strange writing behaviour

[zxspectrum]

Hi guys, here is my problem,lately this week,i mean in the last 3-4 days i seem to have a strange problem writing with imgburn 2420 in write mode and in build mode.it does not report any problem when actually writing but when verifiy-ing and it is always after 90%.at first i thought there is some problem with the verify function an i tried to copy the data to the hard,and in all cases ,short after 90% i got error.i've tried with 2 different writers,same thing happens with both of them.i should mention that the program is set to DAO/SAO mode,and i used the same media as before.i have no ideea what can be the problem,i even reinstalled newer version of intel chipset drivers.

After i saw about 10 coasters in last day only,i've decided to turn to this forum and seek help.as i think this is a system problem and not imgburn,here is the list of the latest programs that i've installed/updated last week,maybe some of you know some problems with any of them.I say last week cause up until last week i've had no problems writing whatsoever.

 

Mozilla Firefox

DAEMON Tools Lite

DVDlabPro2

DoItFast4U

ExtractNow

FlashGet

Adobe

VSO

URUSoft

Java

Trillian

DIFX

Razer

 

here is the log,if someone has any ideea(besides reinstall windows) pls tell,thanks (don't mind the late hours from the log,this last try i left home when i pressed "write",and when i came i pressed cancel on the "verification" error screen!)

Try with better media, such as Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden blanks, and it should work. If you still want to try your blanks, try burning them at other speeds. Also make sure the blanks are clean (no scratch/dirt/fingerprints on them).

[zxspectrum]

see,the thing is that i've been writing this blanks for a long time now, and i never had any problems.Also, i tryed to write with nero, same thing ,verify error.could it be from SPTI?what happens if i change to one of the other options there,like patin-couffin?thanks

i've tried with 2 different writers,

Are all the writers SATA? Could be the issue that you have it connected to a RAID slot. (JMicron one?) Tried to attach the SATA to another non raid slot?

 

I had problems to get my SATA writers to work with my ASUS Intel chipped mother board (P5W DH Deluxe), so I ended up getting an external SATA card.

 

If you run a scan of the burned disc in either DVDInfoPro or Nero DiscSpeed, do the scan look 'awful' from the start of the scanning? (option disc quality)

yes, both my writers are attached to sata, i own an asus p5k board with intel chipset,and yes, one of them is on jmicron controller.i will try nero disc speed a little bit later.thank you

Hi,me again,on further investigations, i think the problem is somehow related to a TSR program called truecrypt ,latest version 6.0a (www.truecrypt.org).It seems athat after i remove it from memory all 4 writers are able to burn without problem.So, please, is someone is willing to give it a try and see what happens.Thank you

I have TrueCrypt 6.0a and a Samsung SH-S203B (20x SATA) and never had the L-EC uncorrectable error, if that information helps
