I am sorry if this is not the right place to post this, My laptop has a drive that is supposed to be a cd and dvd burner, but as I check through properties and error logs it seems to say cd-rom only? I am not sure what the problem is I hope someone can help me please. Everytime I try to burn whether with Nero9 or even Windows dvd maker it does the same thing right when the burn process starts and I think before the disc even starts to spin it stops and says that burn process has failed at speed of 2X. Below is the Nero error log Windows Vista 6.0 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 9.2.6.100 Internal Version: 9, 2, 6, 100 (Nero Express) Recorder: <Slimtype DVD A DS8A1P> Version: CH71 - HA 1 TA 0 - 9.2.6.100 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data CD-ROM: <Slimtype DVD A DS8A1P >Version: CH71 - HA 1 TA 0 - 9.2.6.100 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === === CDRom-Device-Map === Slimtype DVD A DS8A1P E: CdRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1982MB (2029748kB) Free physical memory: 829MB (849460kB) Memory in use : 58 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 15.4.2009 UDF/ISO compilation 9:44:07 PM #1 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 452 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 9:44:08 PM #2 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1767 DVD-Video files reallocation started 9:44:08 PM #3 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1767 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 9:44:08 PM #4 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6940 UDF document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 UDF Mode : UDF/ISO bridge UDF Options : automatic UDF Revision : 1.02 UDF Partition Type : physical ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : FALSE Allow more than 255 characters in path : FALSE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 9:44:09 PM #5 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1767 DVD-Video files sorted 9:44:09 PM #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:44:09 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:44:09 PM #8 SPTI -1080 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 215 CdRom0: SCSIStatus(x02) WinError(0) NeroError(-1080) CDB Data: 0x51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x02 (KEY_NOT_READY) Sense Code: 0x3A Sense Qual: 0x00 Sense Area: 0x70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A Buffer x055e2980: Len x20 9:44:09 PM #9 SPTI -1080 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 215 CdRom0: SCSIStatus(x02) WinError(0) NeroError(-1080) CDB Data: 0x52 01 00 00 00 FF 00 00 20 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x02 (KEY_NOT_READY) Sense Code: 0x3A Sense Qual: 0x00 Sense Area: 0x70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A Buffer x055e2980: Len x20 9:44:09 PM #10 SPTI -1080 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 215 CdRom0: SCSIStatus(x02) WinError(0) NeroError(-1080) CDB Data: 0x52 01 00 00 00 FF 00 00 20 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x02 (KEY_NOT_READY) Sense Code: 0x3A Sense Qual: 0x00 Sense Area: 0x70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A Buffer x055e2980: Len x20 9:44:09 PM #11 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3587 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 9:44:09 PM #12 SPTI -1080 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 215 CdRom0: SCSIStatus(x02) WinError(0) NeroError(-1080) CDB Data: 0x51 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x02 (KEY_NOT_READY) Sense Code: 0x3A Sense Qual: 0x00 Sense Area: 0x70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A Buffer x055e2980: Len x20 9:44:09 PM #13 SPTI -1080 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 215 CdRom0: SCSIStatus(x02) WinError(0) NeroError(-1080) CDB Data: 0x52 01 00 00 00 FF 00 00 20 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x02 (KEY_NOT_READY) Sense Code: 0x3A Sense Qual: 0x00 Sense Area: 0x70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A Buffer x055e2980: Len x20 9:44:09 PM #14 SPTI -1080 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 215 CdRom0: SCSIStatus(x02) WinError(0) NeroError(-1080) CDB Data: 0x52 01 00 00 00 FF 00 00 20 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x02 (KEY_NOT_READY) Sense Code: 0x3A Sense Qual: 0x00 Sense Area: 0x70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A Buffer x055e2980: Len x20 9:44:51 PM #15 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:44:51 PM #16 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:44:53 PM #17 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 313 Last possible write address on media: 2297887 Last address to be written: 870047 9:44:53 PM #18 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 325 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 9:44:53 PM #19 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2882 Recorder: Slimtype DVD A DS8A1P, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer ID: <UME02> <> Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 9:44:53 PM #20 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 500 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert empty disc to write to.
