Sorry in advance about the long message I have a satellite U205 S5002 which i got used 3 months ago when i first got it i installed vista and everything was ok then a week ago, i bought a new pack of dvd-r-until then i had used diff brands of dvd-r, dvd+r, dvd-rw, dvd+rw and they all worked. I dont know if it matters but the new pack was Imation and couldn't burn on any of them. Since then i have reinstalled vista twice, and haven't installed any programs besides win avi and nero 9. When I last installed vista a couple of days ago, it let me burn 5 dvd-r and then nothing with win avi. Nero would only burn only dvd rw and everytime i tried a dvd-r it said it couldn't start disc at once. Today i bought a new pack of the same dvd-rw it let me use last time and nero burned 1 and then kept telling me there was a track error. Win avi burned 1 and then when i tried a 2nd wouldn't do anything and then i installed convertX to dvd and it did the same as win avi. It still burns cd-r's(they are the only one's i can burn with the vista built in software) I just checked device manager and clicked on properties for the dvd drive, and in the details tab under value it says CD-ROM drive(dont know if that matters but i thought I'd mention it) I have asked a couple of computer techs in my area and they had no idea what could be wrong I have gone into regedit and followed intructions and deleted the file i was supposed to. I have reinstalled the dvd driver and the IDE driver just in case(it told me i had the correct ones already) and bellow is the log from the last time I've tried to burn with Nero 9 Thanks in advance for any help Windows Vista 6.0 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 9.0.9.100 Internal Version: 9, 0, 9, 100 (Nero Express) Recorder: <MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-842S>Version: 1.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 9.0.9.100 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default CD-ROM: <MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-842S >Version: 1.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 9.0.9.100 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === === CDRom-Device-Map === MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-842S E: CdRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1014MB (1038856kB) Free physical memory: 364MB (373112kB) Memory in use : 64 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 4.11.2009 UDF/ISO compilation 10:51:14 AM #1 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 450 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 10:51:14 AM #2 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1767 DVD-Video files reallocation started 10:51:14 AM #3 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1767 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 10:51:14 AM #4 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6789 UDF document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 UDF Mode : UDF/ISO bridge UDF Options : automatic UDF Revision : 1.02 UDF Partition Type : physical ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : FALSE Allow more than 255 characters in path : FALSE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 10:51:14 AM #5 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1767 DVD-Video files sorted 10:51:15 AM #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 10:51:15 AM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 10:51:15 AM #8 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3563 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 10:51:15 AM #9 Text 0 File FilesystemSettingsValidator.cpp, Line 142 FS Settings: using validator 'CUDFSettingsValidatorDVD' ParamMode = 'automatic', changing UDF partition type from 'physical' to 'physical' Changing UDF revision from '1.02' to '1.02' 10:51:15 AM #10 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 10:51:15 AM #11 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 10:51:15 AM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 312 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 732143 (162:41.68, 1429MB) 10:51:15 AM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 324 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 10:51:15 AM #14 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2951 Recorder: MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-842S, Media type: DVD+R Disc Manufacturer ID: <CMC MAG>, Media Type ID: <M01>, Product revision number: 0 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 7 10:51:15 AM #15 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 499 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 10:51:15 AM #16 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 756 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 732144 (732144) = #732144/162:41.69 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 732144 blocks [E: MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-842S] -------------------------------------------------------------- 10:51:15 AM #17 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 958 Prepare [E: MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-842S] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;
