pirate1 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Hi, I'm a noob and have a problem. I am trying to make a dvd of my windows7 download. I got ImgBurn to burn the ISO file to disc. Well, I've been trying for a couple of days and haven't managed yet. I'm thinking it's more of a problem with my burner and software than with ImgBurn but I can't figure it out. I've got the latest drivers and firmware I can get for my samsung cddvd burner. I've messed up seven dvd discs in the last couple of days trying. I seem to keep getting the same messages. I'm attaching the last system log. It seems to start ok then stops and seems to be some kind of controller error. The whole system is about six months old and I did build it myself. Its a fairly good computer. I'll put the specs at the end in case they are relevant. I am running xp pro. I have downloaded a couple of codec packs. Anyway, I hope someone can help. I want to get this disc burned and do a dual boot to run windows 7 along with my xppro. I only have a few more days they say while the key is good. So any help will be appreciated. I'm expecting it to be something basic I just haven't done. e8500 4GB Corsair Dominator 1065 RAM Velociraptor 2x XFX 9800gtx EVGA 750iFTW Sceptre 24" monitor samsung sh s203n cd/dvd burner sunbeam core contact freezer Thermaltake Armor+ case ImgBurn_Log.log Edited February 5, 2009 by pirate1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, pirate1! There is a later firmware to install for that writer - SB02. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Samsung/SH-S203N/files.html 8x write speed might work better. Is it a Nvidia based motherboard?

I thought I had the latest firmware but I didn't have that one. It is a Nvidia based motherboard. I installed the firmware and the same thing happened. That makes 8 dvds I probably won't be able to use for anything. Oh well, at least I do have the newest firmware for the player now. Hopefully, someone will come up with another suggestion.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 For now you'll need to use another I/O interface (look in the settings) There's a bug in the NVIDIA drivers that stops SPTI from returning decent error codes to ImgBurn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
