Sony DVD Burner not burning

[Scallyofwag]

I bought a Sony AW-G170A DVD burner. :D

It works ok when it comes to reading Cd's and DVD's but when ever i try to Burn a DVD it goes so far then it comes up with a DMA Driver error :x

can anyone help :?:

[asteroid]

what recording software are you using, Roxio? Nero?

with Nero, put on all the latest updates. Early version of Nero 6 didnt like Service pack 2 and had to have some updates

[Scallyofwag]

i've tried using nero 7.0 for DVD's and Nero. media player and real player for CD's and i keep getting error messages

[Scallyofwag]

i've just installed a replacement drive that they gave me and its still coming up with the error in the exact same place.

Could it be a problem with the hardware not being compatable with my comp?

[Taxation]

Have you got more than one drive in your system??

[Danc1978]

how have you got the drive set up is it the only drive in your system, what system do you have it may have a compatibility issue with your system.

[Scallyofwag]

i'm running the Athlon 64 3800 barebones bundle

its the only drive i've got installed

what dual layer dvd burners are compatable with this system

[Scallyofwag]

i am running windows xp home (OEM) and windows x64 (OEM) in case it could be a software issue

[anthonygriff]

Even though it is the only drive fitted have you confirmed the jumper settings are set to master on the back of it?

[Scallyofwag]

yeah i got it set as master

it can read discs ok just cant burn them

[Scallyofwag]

gonna try the drastic of drastic measures

gonne go for a full hard drive re-format and re-install everything again

[Nox]

the fact you have the same problem in two OS's makes me think its elsewhere, i'd probably be looking at reloading all bios defaults for starters though I don't think theres anything in there that would cause this.

I have an HP lightscribe DVD burner, won't burn DVD's when attached to one mobo, but is fine on another (i865 vs i875) and thats with just moving the HD across (not the best I know but...)

Nox

[Scallyofwag]

i've left the bios settings as they were when i started

[Ben]

Have you tried updating the Firmware ?

Could try here (http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=192972)

[Coops]

What transfer mode is your driving running in. Is it actually running in DMA mode or has it switched down to PIO in Windows

[Scallyofwag]

its running in DRM mode, i'm gonna try ben's idea (thanx for that :D) and update the firmware

[Scallyofwag]

quick query
has any here every danaged a drive through flashing it?

[Scallyofwag]

its running in DRM mode

should be DMA

sorry i cant type today :(

[Scallyofwag]

think i have fixed it,

it was the lamest of lame problems :oops:

i changed the ide cable and swaped the jumper from the hard drive with the dvd one

[Scallyofwag]

still not working properly it can burn CDRW's at 10 speed but it wont burn CDR's or DVD's.

here is a copy of the error log. (sorry admins for it being so long)

by the way, i tried updating the the firmware and even got an error message doing that
:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

[Scallyofwag]

can the quality of the disc affect a DVD burner?

[Scallyofwag]

i've got it sorted now.

Apparantly it was a problem to do with the burning speed.

if i set it to burn at 10x or less it burns ok

[anthonygriff]

I notice on your printout that the burning mode is set to 'track at once' (tao). Is this intentional as copies are usually made using 'disc at once'?

[Scallyofwag]

got it all sorted, burner was burning at a speed faster than the discs could handle
