tinpanalley Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I've been working this on my own for about 1 week. Nothing is helping. The drive is fine, the cables are fine, the software is fine. My problem must be my drivers or controllers, but I'm guessing. My media is good. I only burn with Verbatim DVDs and Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs. Please, if anyone can help me, I'd be so appreciative. I'm losing my mind and my hope. Right now I don't have a functioning burner and I just bought this Pioneer. Here's my log... and THANK YOU!!

Cynthia Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, tinpanalley! Do you know if your mother board is using Nvida chipset for the SATA channel that is connected to your writer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinpanalley Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thank you for responding! I am not sure. How do I verify that? Device Manager shows the following under IDE/ATA ATAPI controllers... NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller Primary IDE Channel Secondary IDE Channel Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller When I try to disable or uninstall the nvidia, it comes back. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA Controller Yep, it's a nvidia chipset. Their drivers are buggy and, for the moment, a known workaround is to switch the Interface to ASPI in ImgBurn's settings (I/O tab). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinpanalley Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 So, should I try that? Is there really nothing else I can do? Someone else suggested that I buy a SATA controller card. I hate having to buy another piece of equipment to make a good burner work. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinpanalley Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I changed my IMGBurn I/O settings to ASPI in the write tab. It worked! Flawless burn! Here's the log, if anyone wants to study it. I 01:31:22 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Only leave it on that until the next release of ImgBurn that has a work around for the nvidia driver bug. SPTI is the better interface to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinpanalley Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 I hate to say it but I may have jumped the gun. The game crashes in the intro even though the burn had no errors in IMGburn. Any thoughts? - media is good - image file is good - burner now working - 360 plays older burns perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Did you verify the burn? Maybe 4x isn't the best speed for burning those discs on your drive? Try one of the other 'supported' speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinpanalley Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hey guys. Thanks again! - Can't verify that specific burn because out of frustration last night I threw it out. - But just as some of the 'write settings' needed to be adjusted for my burn, Lightning, are there any specific 'read settings' that I should ensure are set? Thanks all, I know I'm almost over this hump where I can finally be burning again on my new computer. Everything was fine for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 You just need to check the 'verify' box on the main page when you burn a disc. You should leave it enabled all the time so you know your discs are readable once they've been burnt. Besides the write speed, there's nothing else that you should really need to change.
