Hi all I searched for this problem before I posted.I found the same question from someone back in '02.There were no replies to the post.No matter what I do I get the same error using NERO(scsi/atapi timeout).The buffer freezes at 100%.The burn process stops between 5-9%.Can anyone please help?Only changes - os fron win98 to 98SE.Thanks!!
I have the same problem. Since upgrading to Nero 5.5.10.20 I keep getting SCSI/ATAPI command timeout error when I simulate an overburn. This always happens at 2% with a full buffer. My rom drive just kept spinning and got louder and louder like it was gonna take off. I had to flick the switch at the back of the hard drive to stop it but since doing a disc defrag the loud spinning doesn't happen anymore, just the SCSI/ATAPI command timeout error. The thing is I've been able to do a burn when not using the overburn feature, eventough there was an error at the end of the burn process the disc still played fine. My writter ( Ricoh DVD/CDRW MP9060 ) does support overburn and I have set the upperlimit to 85mins, the disc capacity is 82.57 ( Traxdata 80cd-r ) and my mp3 file is 15sec less than that. Any ideas anybody? Thx.
If you're using the latest Nero and still encountering problems then switch to another burning application like BurnAtOnce (freebie). BurnAtOnce: http://www.burnatonce.com/index.html Shoey
I solved the problem by dropping down to an older version. The same might work for you or dl the latest version.
hi i have a ricoh MP7163A and i use nero and i get the scsi/atapi command timeout error. i run win98. when i simulate a burn, my cd writer makes strange noises, i have justlink, which is supposed to stop errors but it clearly doesnt. Any suggestions?
Try a different version of nero, I dropped down to a lower version which solved the problem for me. And defragment your hard disc, this might help with the noises.
