hello, first off, sorry if this question's been covered a million times -- i searched the archives, but didn't find anything specific enough, seemingly, to solve my problems. so here i am. here's the deal: (i have an NEC ND 1000-A, btw) some time ago, my sonic recordnow! stopped burning DVD data discs of the movies i would rip with DVDshrink. it worked for a long time, and then, poof. so, after spending some time messing around, i started using nero and burning at 2.4x. and that solved my problems. now, that won't work, either. poof again. also, i have recently tried doing a disc-to-disc copy with both nero and sonic (i've got a DVD player in addition to the burner), and now THAT won't work. so i'm thinking it's not the software. however, i can still burn CD's from things on my hard drive with no problems at all, and i've barely ever had a coaster. i've updated firmware on my burner...i've tried compressed air...i bought a cleaning disc (memorex...system won't play it for some reason, though, so that was a bust -- should i try again?)...i've tried different media...haven't tried defragging -- i'm sorta afraid to, for fear of losing my files... i can't remember if i've done other stuff to try and solve the problem. so...do i need a new DVD burner? i've had my computer (dell dimension 4600) for about two years or so, and i've used it a lot (probably burned 300 or so discs on it over time). is there a way to check the burner for crappiness or broken-ness? or is it just some intangible thing? any hints, guesses, ideas, or shots in the dark are welcomed with open arms. thanks for your time and knowledge. best, tony
If you had never defrag. your HD for two years, it's probably the right time to do so, for whatever purpose. Also, make sure you have a lot of memory. Try attend to the basics, then we'll see what it leads from there. Good luck!
whats actually happening?, are you getting burn failures,or is it not burning at all do the basics, you should really do a de-frag,at least once a week to avoid data bottlenecking is DMA turned on?,check this in device manager what software have you got are aspi layers installed and working you have nero,so run a full scan in the tool kit,and post the log
is defragging totally safe? i won't lose any files, will i? also, is having only 4GB free out of 111GB a bad thing? i'm getting various errors. most of the "power calibration error" variety. both sonic and nero are failing at various times.
Actually Defragmenting the disc is TOTALLY SAFE, what is done in the process is organizing the files so that the HD can access then faster, well actually is recommended to have at least 1gb of space in the disk so I dont think 4gb of free space is not a problem, you should check the hardware which seems to be the problem
well, that's the thing -- how do i "check" the hardware? is there a diagnostic test, or are you thinking i should physically remove the burner and clean it or something? just keep in mind i'm a total computer novice, but i'm learning
here's a start - download Nero info-tool from here - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/neroinfo.html Run it, note down the following, and paste here. Here's what mine shows - click on the drive tab, note down the firmware version click on configuration tab, note down the DMA fields, ie on or off it may be worth clicking on the aspi tab, and note down anything that might be missing
hmmm...don't know how to take screenshots of the windows, but the one thing i did notice is that i got a yellow "ASPI is not installed" result when i clicked the system (not nero) "aspi" tab. dma = on (and autorun on, too). firmware = 10GE. what does this all mean, and how does it apply? i could burn DVD's fine until a little bit ago -- this is why i'm just wondering if the burner is shot. how would i know?
Yes, it is recommended that you have 10-15 gb free space. I would say this is your problem. Clean up your hdd and get rid of some unneeded junk.
okay, i cleared a bunch of stuff off my hard drive (i now have 17.4GB left), did disk cleanup, defragged, and tried to burn a disc with nero. power calibration error, could not perform end of disc-at-once. same crap as before. here's the log for good measure: *** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.68, size=160016 bytes, created 7/28/2004 5:51:12 PM Nero version: 6.6.0.1 (Nero Express) Recorder: <_NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A> Version: 10GE - HA 0 TA 1 - 6.6.0.1 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <JLMS DVD-ROM XJ-HD166>Version: DD05 - HA 0 TA 0 - 6.6.0.1 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : JLMS DVD-ROM XJ-HD166 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : _NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : ST3120026AS atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === JLMS DVD-ROM XJ-HD166 D: CDRom0 _NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A E: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1022MB (1047536kB) Free physical memory: 626MB (641132kB) Memory in use : 38 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 6.6.2005 ISO compilation 5:06:58 PM #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6165 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 5:06:58 PM #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 5:06:58 PM #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer _NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A running 5:06:58 PM #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3286 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 5:06:58 PM #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3117 Turn on Disc-at-once, using DVD media 5:07:26 PM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 256 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 2142223 (476:02.73, 4184MB) 5:07:26 PM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 268 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 5:07:26 PM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2309 Recorder: _NEC DVD+RW ND-1100A, Media type: DVD+R 5:07:26 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 430 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert empty disc to write to.

ASPI may be your issue. Here's an excerpt from another thread explaining ASPI: [bold]<11>What is ASPI and do I need it? The term 'ASPI' is an acronym that stands for: Advanced SCSI Programming Interface. All the following terms are synonymous: ASPI layer, ASPI drivers, ASPI interface. The term 'SCSI' [scuzzy] is an acronym that stands for Small Computer Systems Interface. An ASPI layer consists of four files that 'lie between' various programs [software] and certain devices, such as CD/DVD-ROM drives and CD/DVD burners/writers [hardware]. Software programs such as CD digital audio extractors [commonly known as 'Rippers'] and CD-writing utilities such as CDRWin use/require ASPI drivers to 'communicate with' SCSI devices. Many people don't realize however, that the files contained in an ASPI layer are also used in systems that *don't* contain a SCSI adapter, or SCSI devices .. for things such as ripping CD audio and burning CD/DVDs. ASPI DOWNLOAD http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/su...duct/ASPI-4.70&filekey=aspi_471a2.exe&sess=no[/bold] Same thread, this covers power calibration errors: [bold]<9>I have a Power calibration error? Options you can try with "power calibration errors" o Try another brand of DVD-/+R or DVD-/+RW media. This is the most common cause of OPC errors. o "Slow down your burning speed". o Update the firmware of your recorder. Check the manufacturer's website for the latest version. o Check your power connectors, loose connections do occur. Don't share power with other devices. It needs its own power connector. If the errors occurs with an external recorder, Check the USB cable and connections. o Try different configurations, such as taking the DVD-ROM to the primary IDE bus as slave and have only the recorder connected to the secondary IDE bus as master. o Clean or have your DVD burner serviced. There are cleaning kits available. Sometimes just a gentle appplication of canned air can remove dust blocking the laser. o Replace the DVD burner. lets hope we don't need to do the last one [/bold] There's a link to this thread in my sig, the one that says newbies.
Does your NEC only burn dvd+r/rw media? Reason I ask I got this from the log. What brands of media have you tried? Your drive is not recognizing the media. You can dowload the ASPI layer drivers here http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/su...no&language=English+US&cat=/Product/ASPI-4.70 or here http://radified.com/ASPI/forceaspi.htm
i will try these things. why would this just start happening, though? like, it all worked fine when i got the computer, and now i can't get a DVD to complete. CD's are all fine, though (although i can't do disc-to-disc copying now for some reason - this is a recent development). also, why would sonic stop working, then nero works for a while, and then NERO stops working? i've been using the same media that i've used all along: verbatim DVD+R. also, i think that bit with "Insert empty disc to write to. (Medium in drive: Unknown. Medium required by compilation: DVD+R/RW.)" is just because i usually hit "burn" before i put a disc in. just my habit, to hit burn, have the tray pop out, put a disc in, and go.
i'm trying to do this ASPI thing, but i get as far as the black windows system32 box thingy, and then i don't understand what to type in. the directions tell me to hit "space," and i do that, but the box disappears. man, i don't know what i'm even doing...
I'm not sure what you've got. They're just drivers and you should be able to just download them. I never got the Force ASPI to take and used Adaptec ASPI. When your ASPI layers are upto date the box on the bottom of nero's ASPI check screen will be green for both system and nero.
ahhh yes, forgot all about that. If you have InCD or DLA installed, uninstall them. This causes serious issues when trying to burn dvds.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\AllocateCDROMs : 0 (Security Option) *** still not sure how to do that ASPI thing. i get the black box, but then i don't know what to do. any time i hit a key, the box goes away. also, i should reiterate that neither my sonic recordnow! or nero will burn CD's (so i feel like just focusing on nero-related stuff might be a kind of mistake), and neither one will do disc-to-disc (exact copy) of CD-R's, anymore, either. but i can still burn regular CD's with no troubles. this has all been a gradual process, which is why i'm wondering if my drive is going bad. i wish i knew how to tell...
okay, here's an update. i figured out how to install the ASPI stuff. so now the nero checker tool thing shows the color green for nero and system ASPI. i just tried to burn a disc, and got a power calibration error at 100%. it also shows "could not perform end of disc-at-once" and then "generating high compatibility borders," "generating DVD borders completed successfully," and then "burn process failed at 2.4x." what now?
