hi

um this seems alot of hassle here! so your burner has been fine ow it plays up? is it old? the laser could have done its day?

i have seen a simarlar issue to you on my 1 sheep burner! but it was down to coping games that nowadays have some seriuos protection to get over and the good ol plextor couldnt cope! i use my liteon and its fine!

have you good sytem resources? a full hard drive? sort of extra programs taking ram?

have you added any new programs to your puter latly?

Thx....

 

Try different burning applications to determine if it's software or hardware related m8. Be sure your using ASPI 4.6 layer as well.

Hi,

thaknx for the reply.

I recently upgraded m burning software Nero burning rom from 5.5.8.2 to 5.5.10.15 and Aspi layers to 4.71.After that It worked for few days.After that i got a power calibration error.

I tried other burning softwares like CDMATE DELUXE,CD BURNER XP PRO.but in vain.i couldn't rectify the error.

I reinstalled my OS(WIN 98) and reinstalled everything,but the pblm persists.

i tried it in my Friend's place.it worked fine for a couple times andthen it got Hung up.But the CD is burned properly.

I enquired here and they say that there must be a pblm with the LOADER Insidev the CD WRITER.

What is a LOADER?

Pls reply as soon as possible.

THAnx,
karthikRavi

 

What are you backing up?
Are you using the latest firmware for your Ben-Q burner? Search Google for "The Firmware Page" then go to downloads and locate Ben-Q and locate your model #.

Shoey

 

I think your burner exploded I know because it happened to me.
Replace it if it is under warranty or open up the burner and use a magnifying glass tosee if any ribbons are burnt.
Chances are that you will have to get a new one.

 

Hi,

I've upgraded to the latest firmware version.But the pblm persists.It works fine in m friend's place.Does anybody know what is a LOADER in CDWRITER.

THanx,
KarthikRavi

 

Looks like there is a serious hardware conflict on your end m8. It's difficult to narrow the problem down so maybe consider another burner as they are very affordable these days.

Hi shoey,

thanx for the reply.I uninstalled Nero and Installed CD MATE DELUXE 2.5.17 and it worked fine with my writer,

can u recommend any good burning software for free.

Thanx,
karthikravi

 

Hi,
It seems that pblm still persists.The cd's that i burned dosn't get read in other systems.and i tried this New software called BURNQUICK 3.0d.
It gave me a error msg as folows

WRITE command failed on device 1:1:0.

Unit attention (04h 00h 02h 06h 29h 00h)

Error code: -105 sub-code: -43.

Does anybod know what that means.

Thanx,
KarthikRavi

 

Its strange, last night I got that same air. Restarted the burn and it worked fine. I did increase the speed the second time. I didn't think the burn would work the second time so I just flew through the options. The first one was at 4x and the second was at 48x, worked fine.

Try different media (cd-r) and if you encounter the same error then I advise another burner m8. How young is your Bem-Q cdrw?

Shoey

 

hi

yes on different media! as i have just read about sony dru500a dont like ritek 4x and getting same errors as you!

so could be media as sony drives have just come out...

thx...

 

hi,

My BENQ is onl 7 months old.There seems to be amajor pblm.Now the CD's doesn't get read and the Sstem hangs up.

Thankx,
KarthikRavi.

 

hi

just a thought here but, it could be deeper than just the drive! what i mean is i helped a guy on his drive couldnt read a new original software disc we got it down to a bios upgrade which had a bug in the old bios but didnt show till new type file formats came out! it had been good for years! msi motherboard! this was eide/atapi problem!

do you upgrade drivers and bios regularly?

also has the drive been fine before this? or has it never worked?

if it worked then have you installed or even more, uninstalled anything since the problem occurred?

any major hardware reshuffles? anything at all you can think of?

or has your system been the same for the 7 months you have had the drive?

ALSO CHECK ALL CABLES IN TOWER! pull them out and push back in to make sure!
