Ok, I've tried everything over the last three days! I've done a million google searches and read about this so much my eyes are bleeding! I can't get this thing to work and I can't figure it out. I bought a Samsung sh-203-n (Sata) DVD burner. I've never used a Sata drive on my box, but it looked pretty standard, just located the right area of the motherboard and hooked it up. I'm running XP SP2 and the motherboard is a PCCHIPS T12 V1.0. It is reading discs fine.......will play a dvd and music no problem. It will begin writing and then it will error out. Neither Nero nor DVD Decryptor will work. I've updated my BIOS, still nuthin! I know that I should just go get another burner that isn't Sata, but I think everyone knows where I am.......I MUST MAKE THIS F*CKING WORK!! Oh, by the way, the burner was a christmas present from my wife. Long story short; we had a baby (time sucker-upper) around the holidays and I didn't get around to installing it until this week. Now she's giving me that look like "ok douche-bag you can't make this thingy work plus you waited 4 months to try to install it, now we can't send it back!" I am going to include a log from Nero from the last failed attempt. Can someone please help me read this?? Thanks! Ok, I've updated my BIOS, still nuthin! Damn!

what are you burning? have you tried a firmware update or reinstalling your drivers? change the source of the burn? have you checked to make sure the SATA connection is in nice n snug? what media brand/type are you using? try using imgburn, -tripplite
I’m sure I’ve got that burner cant check as at work at the mo, mine wouldn’t burn an image with out error then following words of wisdom on here updated the firmware and bobs your uncle
