Not sure if anyone can help but here goes: Drives used to burn LG 16x10x40, Firmware Unknown (havnt checked) ASUS 522452A, Firmware 1.40 (latest) Pioneer 106D, Firmware 1.07 (unsure if a newer one exists) Drives use to Read LG 16x10x40 ASUS 52252A Pioneer 106D Toshiba GDR8081N Firmware 2.21 (laptop) Pioneer 107, Firmware Unknown Plextor 708A, Firmware Unknown Media In Question Verbatim 650MB HighSpeed 12X CDRW (ATIP: Mitsubishi) Prodisc 700MB HighSpeed 10X CDRW (ATIP: CMC) Mitsubishi 650MB UltraSpeed 24X CDRW (ATIP: Mitsubishi) No other RW media is available at the time (other than a DVD-RW).

Well try removing Force ASPI and enable "imapi" and see what happens. Why one has 2 ASPI Layers on the system is beyond me ASPI Layer 4.6 is the most stable version of them all, hands down. Try a cd-r and use burnatonce and burn some data and a image and see what happens m8. burnatonce http://www.burnatonce.com/downloads
LOL separately buddy heehee separately ... i only went to 4.712 because i was desparate you know how much i hate it I'll give burnatonce a shot... this one's friggen wierd though
If the problem persists try running your burner as master on secondary IDE channel all by itself and burn again with any burning application.(if applicable) _X_X_X_X_X_[small]MSI KT6V-LSR MS-7021 AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (OC'd to 3200+) 1 Gig Corsair XMS PC3200 (OC'd DDR 400) MSI MS Starforce nVidia GeForce FX5500(256 DDR) Maxtor ATA\133 200 gig Lite-ON LTD165H DVD-ROM Lite-ON LDW411S DVD-Burner[/small]
No luck as an independent drive, with IMAPI and/or any burning app however i have narrowed things down a bit. - I can read CDRWs that I burned successfully (either on a "behaving drive" or that i burned a looong time ago). - The only drives that cant properly burn CDRWs are the ASUS and the PIONEER, coincidentally they are in the same tower. Gonna format for eliminate some possibilities... actually correction, the ASUS will read discs that have been "properly burned" the Pioneer will not regardless. Both drives will read CDRs and DVD*.* - When i do a burn with the ASUS, say in Nero, when it finishes, it takes roughly 5 minutes to eject the disc.... any thoughts? - I'll try jacking the Pioneer to the latest 1.08 FW - Ive yet to try a more "agreeable" format like AudioCDs .. we'll see how that goes - If its of any importance, in A120, the Pioneer is listed as not being able to read ATIP while the ASUS is marked as "unknown" (yet they both can via A120) .. might this be related with the hardreboot ive been getting with CDRIdentifier _X_X_X_X_X_[small]ASUS A7N8X-X, XP2500+ OC'd to XP3200+ Samsung 1024MB, PC2700 OC'd to PC3200 480GB [3x160GB, 7200, 8MB] EVGA, GeForce4 Ti4600 128MB Rules and Policies: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2487[/small]
- Formatting didnt alleviate the problem - More info: the Pioneer doesnt even detect any CDRW media that ive burned since this anomoly. It detects discs that were successfully burnt in the past. - Further tested on DISC 2X RW (ATIP: PRODISC) and Memorex 4X RW (ATIP: PRODISC) with no luck - Nero's CD Speed fails to create a Data Disc for testing at roughly the 50min marker
I think ill just settle for the ulta highly unlikely "both burners suffered simultaneous catastrophic failures"
