Finalization as well as Synchronising Error

[x-ecutioner]

hi there,

 

first time user here

i got two error messages:

 

the first one stated:

Synchronize cache failed!

(on my dvd/cd drive)

for an unknown reason

i clicked continue

 

the second message said:

Finalize disc failed

for an unknown reason

i clicked continue

 

i have tried burning at a speed of 8, 10, and at auto

the first time i had verify checked but eventually unchecked it

in addition, i am trying to burn a .iso file

 

here is the error log:

Hi and welcome to the forum, x-ecutioner!

 

You selected max speed (16x) and the writer only performs the write at around 8x. Sounds as your writer doesn't really like that brand.

 

Have you been able to burn other brands with that writer?

 

There is also a later firmware version to install - ver 1.01.

 

You'll find it here under 'Device Driver'.

well heres the thing

this is my first time burning onto my drive ive never really burnt anything with it before

in addition,

i had the speed set at 16 because 8 and and 10 did not work all three speeds have led to errors

and i dont wanna try out the cds and put em into my laptop unless im sure they are fully functional, im not looking for more trouble

is there any other advice anyone can offer me?

im downloading the driver upgrade as we speak, ill tell you how it works out but i dont think itll make a difference. But then again idonno that much about burning stuff.

 

thanks

ps: what do you mean by it suonds like the writer does not like the brand? is that referring to the brand of dvd r's i bought?

Does your motherboard have an NVIDIA chipset by any chance?

[x-ecutioner]

yes it does

[x-ecutioner]

okay well

i updated the driver but its

still giving me the exact same errors

any ideas?

thanks

Revert to older ones or select a different I/O interface in the settings.

 

The current nvidia drivers mess up if you ask for anything over 18 bytes of 'sense area' data (which ImgBurn does).

 

Most 3rd party I/O interfaces appear to limit whatever you ask for to 18 so that gets around the issue.

[x-ecutioner]

okay well

updating to drivers does not seem as reliable and seems rather lengthy

assuming i was to change the I/O interface, which one do you suggest i change it too? (right now its interface is STPI- microsoft)

i understand that

but you're last two points i cant really understand sorry about that

should i try to use Nero instead?

is it more of a software or hardware issue?

 

thanks

[x-ecutioner]

shoot

my previous version of nero is not supported by my 64 bit system =_=

so i cant burn that damn image file onto there either!

It's the Nvidia drivers that are buggy: ImgBurn works fine for everyone else using Intel/VIA/SiS/etc chipsets. Try ASPI and it should work

[Cynthia]

Try ASPI and it should work

Guess he/she needs to install ASPI drivers first?

 

Might be easier to select 'ASPI - WNASPI32.DLL" as he/she seems to have Nero installed already.

Yeah just 'borrow' the nero wnaspi32.dll and stick it in ImgBurn's program folder until I release a new version of ImgBurn that has a workaround for NVIDIA's buggy drivers and will make SPTI work again.
