Why am I getting this error?

[Tiger]

Hello

 

Here are the details of my system:

 

OS: Windows XP Pro SP3

Motherboard: ASUS P5B-VM

HDDs: 3 in number, 1 IDE, 2 SATA II with JMicron SATA controller

Optical Drives:

1. IDE: LITE ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S
   
2. SATA: ASUS DRW-2014L1T
   

As I tried to Build+Burn with ImgBurn, I get an error. Please find the details in the log. Now I also find that my ASUS drive, though being recognized by Windows, neither can read or write anything. Its a brand new drive, not even a month old. Thefirmwire of this drive updated to the latest 1.02 version.

Because you're using inferior discs.

[Tiger]

But it seems that the drive is unable to read any discs,even those which are playing fine in my IDE LITE ON Burner!

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Can it not even see an original disc? (i.e. in 'Read' mode)

[Tiger]

Nope it can not

[blutach]

Then either your drive has had it or there is something funny going on with that JMicron controller. Is it connected via that controller?

 

In any event, switch to Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim blanks.

 

Regards

Thanks blutach

 

Well the drive is new and it is connected to the Motherboard's SATA port.

Rest I am not really sure of.

[mmalves]

Can you test this drive on another computer? Or with some SATA-to-USB adapter or something similar.

 

Anyway, it does seem the drive is defective, and not being able to read pressed DVDs is a strong sign of this

[Tiger]

Sorry can not check that... I do not have access to any other computer.

 

and not being able to read pressed DVDs

 

What exactly do you mean by pressed DVDs?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

original silvers ones that you buy.

[LOCOENG]

Have you tried to plug the drive into the SATA port your Litey is on?

[Tiger]

The LITE ON is always plugged in my IDE port. I just bought the ASUS SATA Drive and plugged in the SATA port.

Ok, here is a little update,

The error displayed in the Log of ImgBurn is not because of Disc Quality, it was because of my ODD. The burner was faulty and I got it replaced from ASUS.

That's was a lot more obvious once you told us it couldn't read originals in posts 3 and 5.
