Curious about this error: I/O ERROR Device (0:0:0 SONY DVD RW DRU-710A BY01 (F (USB) CDB 2A 00 00 09 CB 00 00 20 00 Interpretation: Write (10) Sectors 641824-641855 Reason: The Semaphore timeout period has expired. Now i posted recently about this, and the person said it had to do with the cd's. Well today i burned to DVD's succesfully and 2 gave me this error. All 4 cd's game fom the same spindle. Should all 4 have the errroe, or all 4 not work.....How is it 2 were able to work, and 2 werent even though they came from the same spindle.....Could my Burner be messed up?
Search Semaphore You'll see a bunch of threads. I ran a search, but there was to many to point you to.
Have you tried updating your drives firmware, I believe there is a newer version BYO2, this may make a difference.
Updating my firmware. No, i havnt..Do u HAVE A LINK? IS IT DIFFICULT TO...NEVER DONE THAT BEFORE. So i dont know what to expect. Sorry, for the questions, but what exactly am i doing??
Try this site http://sony.storagesupport.com/dvdrw/firmware.htm go down the page to where your drive is listed, click on instructions agree to the contract and read/download your firmware.
Yes, and different disks that burner can read. Don't know if this will solve your problem. The only time I got semaphore error is when the drive was having an issue with the disk, updating my firmware solved this problem. Hope it works out, happy burning.
