What controller is the drive connected to?

What controller is the drive connected to?

 

Sata, brand new cable. reads other disks ok

[LIGHTNING UK!]

I meant in terms of nvidia, intel, jmicron, silicon image etc.

 

I can tell from the model number that it's an sata drive

 

Are you saying it reads discs ok but won't burn *anything* or that it will read/burn everything except your 'MKM-003-00' dye double layer discs?

What controller is the drive connected to? I have no idea, My mobo is a Nforce 2 lan party, so i'm guessing Nvidia?

I attempted to burn onto some super cheap ridata media I think they were called and failed and just attempted a music burn on reliable discs and it failed with the message

Windows Media Player Error Message Help

 

You've encountered error message C00D11AB while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.

Cannot burn files to CD

 

Windows Media Player cannot burn the selected files to the CD. To fix the problem, do one or more of the following:

 

*Clean the disc and verify that it is not damaged.

*Select a slower recording (write) speed for the CD burner (recorder).

*Try a different brand of blank discs.

*Quit other programs.

 

Not got any idea what action to take.

Thanks for your time by the way.

Webbis, I do believe there's a firmware update for your liteon drive............ ( E ) Might try googleing for that as your machine doesn't seem to recognize those blank discs your using to well

 

 

 

I 14:31:51 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-003-00) (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x)

 

 

I 14:31:51 Write Speed: 2.4x

 

Failing all else, perhaps your drive has gone south on you.

Do you have the latest nvidia chipset / ata drivers installed?

Do you have the latest nvidia chipset / ata drivers installed?

 

No, I tried searching for them recently but the DFI website was overhauled recently and found myself floundering in a sea of circular links and poorly translated mess. I'll try to find the most recent ones.

 

EDIT, this is the information i have on the MOBO, DFI LANPARTY

 

and here's some info my diagnostics picked up,

Motherboard ID 01/25/2005-NF-CK804-6A61FD49C-00 Motherboard Name : something along the lines of Lanparty UT nf4 Ultra D
