Tiger Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 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: IDE: LITE ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S 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. //****************************************\\; ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 - Log ; Monday, 01 September 2008, 08:54:57 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 08:38:34 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

Tiger Posted September 1, 2008 Author Posted September 1, 2008 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! Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 Can it not even see an original disc? (i.e. in 'Read' mode)
blutach Posted September 1, 2008 Posted September 1, 2008 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
Tiger Posted September 2, 2008 Author Posted September 2, 2008 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 Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 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 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Posted September 2, 2008 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?
LOCOENG Posted September 2, 2008 Posted September 2, 2008 Have you tried to plug the drive into the SATA port your Litey is on?
Tiger Posted September 3, 2008 Author Posted September 3, 2008 The LITE ON is always plugged in my IDE port. I just bought the ASUS SATA Drive and plugged in the SATA port.
Tiger Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 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.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 That's was a lot more obvious once you told us it couldn't read originals in posts 3 and 5.
