techman Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 well i would def backup the system and the convert to NTFS file system by typing cmd in run to open a command prompt window. then if your using c: as drive you want to convert type convert c: /fs:ntfs and you will eliminate the fat 32 file size problems.
mmalves Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 As ImgBurn says in the Log window, FAT32 does not support single file(s) larger than 4 GB, limitation which ImgBurn easily gets around when it needs. Also, you don't need to make an image before burning to disc: follow this guide for single layer discs or this guide for double layer discs and burn directly from the source files The error you're getting (Write Error) means the drive could not burn the disc. Also the media you're using is rated 8x and is only well supported by newer normal-sized burners. It's possible that they're not supported by your burner, especially now that you've downgraded its firmware. Anyway, laptop burners are pretty weak and I'd recommend getting a normal-sized burner in an external enclosure and you won't regret. I'm not sure which log is newer but please make sure ImgBurn is in its default settings, as that works best for most people. As for the crash, it could be caused by the CDRDRV and/or ASAPIW2K, or may not be related to them at all
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Use EAC for extracting your audio tracks and remove pinnacle. Then remove those 2 filter drivers (ASAPIW2K, CDRDRV). As mmalves said, your drive is getting on a bit now and probably doesn't like the MKM-003-00 discs too much, try getting the 2.4x Verbs instead with the MKM-001-00 dye - or just get yourself a new external drive that does support them.
Shot2kl Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 Thanks so much for the responses techman, mmalves and LIGHTNING UK! I'll work my way through your suggestions. I'm seeing alot of postings with similar problems from ImgBurn users using (LG) HL-DT-ST variations.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Losts of people have old LG drives in their machines, a lot of companies use them. Old drives and new discs just don't match.
Shot2kl Posted November 21, 2008 Author Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) Just purchased a Liteon DX-20A4H external USB drive from Buy.com today. Should receive shipment in about 9 days. Will update later. Have previously uninstalled all Pinnacle software (which had driver filters). This uninstall did not in itself fix my problem. DECEMBER 6, 2008: Received a defective Liteon DX-20A4H drive and had to send it back to Buy.com for exchange. The defective unit would not balance, shook like a vibrator, rattled other items on my desk. Downloaded and tried out EAC as recommended by admin. Works great, I love it. Will update later.

Shot2kl Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Received the replacement Liteon DX-20A4H06C external drive from www.Buy.com on 12/17/08. Plugged it in, it was recognized by my computer and everything worked great! The first thing I did was flash the firmware with the current download fron www.liteonit.com as is suggested on the site so that the unit will recognize additional brands of media. This unit did not support 2.4x write speed, but since the Verbatim media I had purchased long ago was DL 8x and my new drive supported 4x 6x and 8x write speeds using DL media, I set the ImgBurn write function for this external drive at 4x. SUCCESS AT LAST!!! I have now burned my very first DL DVD! Of course it is only appropriate that I now donate to LIGHTNING UK, as a Thank You for providing the information that made this great feat possiable. I also wish to once again thank mmalves and techman for their input as well. I've also purchased a Western Digital 320GB Passport Elite. My next project is to backup my C drive onto this external USB drive. I've downloaded SyncToy v2.0 rather than use the included software. I'm going to format the USB drive with NTFS, backup my C drive and then format my C drive in place with the NTFS format tool included in Windows XP Home. Wish me luck! I will also attempt to properly add to the Drives section on this site . The ImgBurn log herewith follows: I 21:39:57 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!
