I have burned over 300 dvds with my currents dvd burner. but i havent been able to succesfully burn a dvd in a few weeks. ive tried using dvddecrypt, nero and clone dvd to burn , and nothing is successful. i was using verbatim 16x and i just got verbatim 8x and that still doesnt work. i burn at 2.4X always/ i use anydvd with dvdshirnk to rip to my hard drive. then use one of the above software to burn it. im starting to think its my acutally burner but im not sure because it burns cds perfectly. any tips/ideas of what could be wrong. here is my latest nero log Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 1:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.8.2 Internal Version: 7, 0, 8, 2 (Nero Express) Recorder: <TDK DVDRW840G> Version: 1.11 - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.0.8.2 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

Hi maskeeta What's changed (pc or media wise) since the last time you were able to burn? Most of the errors in your log No seek complete & write error can be media related. Your firmware is up to date & your using good media but your drive is not recognizing it. It only sees that it Media type: DVD+R . Your log is missing the manufacturer & media info. To try and rule out the burner I would try some different media like made in Japan only Fuji or Sony. Get no higher than 8x. You might also want to try cleaning the lens w/ a dvd lens cleaner. Check your drives connections too - make sure all are secure. Good total ram - 71% in use so try and free up memory. May not help this problem - but better to get as much free as possible.
thanks. not realy sure what has changed since it stopped burning. im gonna try to clean the lens and see what happens. i wonder if i should try re0nstalling the dvd drive/hardware. i guess after burning 300+ its gonna take its toll. im hoping its a minor issue though. havent been able to figure it out though
Depending on the drive - 300 is a fairly low usage. Though there are lemons w/ any brand. I'd do the lens cleaning bit. Check all connections to the drive - make sure they are secure - power and ide connectors. May even want to try another power connector. Runs a registry cleaner too if you haven't recently. Try ccleaner: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Do a disc cleanup and system defrag (may not be part of the problem - but good to do anyhow) You can do the uninstall too - Uninstall the drive(tdk) in device manager - reboot then let windows do it's thing and reintall. Then try different media. Keep us posted on your outcome - good, bad or otherwise!
@maskeeta Just my little understanding is that there are 2 lasers - one for cd's and one for dvd's. The cd one could be fine.
how do i get to teh device manager(sorry). i tried cleanign the lens. ccleaner, freeing up memory, checkming the power/ide cables. i wanna try to uninstall and install the drivee. do i need the tdk disc for that or will windows do it automatically?
To get to device manager just right click on 'my computer' then pick properties>hardware>device manager. Here's a guide for DMA and IDE controllers but it also goes into uninstalling the drive. You might want to try uninstalling the ide and then drive. No disc is needed - windows should reinstall on rebooting. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 Did you try another power connection?
Check that and post back on how that goes - good, bad or otherwise! Hopefully that will do the trick.
if ye have another computer with burning software ,install the drive ye do not need to install the burner software as windows will see the drive..now test the dvd burn thats the best way to check if ye burner is bad...
im actualyy gonna run up to Costco now and pick up a new burner, they have a grandfatehr return policy so ill have no problem returning it. should i go internal or external, what are the good brands.
Hi maskeeta Ireland gave a good point - might want to check in another pc 1st. Your ide cable could be faulty too. Other thing to try: Disconnect the JLMS (LiteON DVD rom?) from the master connection - put the TDK in it's place (make sure you change the jumper pin on the back of the drive to master also) Now see what happens. If all is good than put the other drive on the secondary connection (again make sure the jumper pin is set to slave). I'd check that & ireland's suggestion 1st b/4 buying a new one.
Try that and see how it goes. Sometimes replacing the drive w/ a new one doesn't fix the problem - not saying it won't in this case - but best to try and rule out all possibilities. Keep us posted
just tried switching the drives, the burner in the master and the dvd-rom in slave, they were both on cabl eselct before, got an error again. for some reason i feel its not the burner, i mean i can burner cds fine. well heres my nero log Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 1:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.8.2 Internal Version: 7, 0, 8, 2 (Nero Express) Recorder: <TDK DVDRW840G> Version: 1.11 - HA 1 TA 6 - 7.0.8.2 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

i got roxio zap , but when i open it is say "would you like to zap easy cd dvd 4 or 5" i bleeive the one i have is 6. and when i try to uninstall it thorugh add/remove, it calls for a disc and then comes up with and error. its been doing that for awhile
@maskeeta What program of Roxio do you have installed? Like what is it listed as in add/remove programs? When you say it been doing that for awhile - I take it you've tried to uninstall before?
