i even reinstalled nero and it still burns a 4gb disc i 50minutes... it doesnt seem like the drive busy indicator light is fuctioning properly..it just blink on off on off on off.....i always thought those lights flickered really fast while burning..im give some new firmware a try...any help guys is greatly appreciated
i ran nero info tool and it said the burners DMA is off..shouldnt this be on for it to burn correctly? i went to device managers and my pc doesnt have the secondary ide cable listed for me to set it
=== Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST380013AS iaStor Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-252S atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SONY DVD RW DRU-720A atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: Off You do need to enable DMA - do a search on this forum to find out how.
well guys, i switched the drives around so now my samsung cd-r is the slave drive on the secondary ide... and guess what, no dma..my computer doesnt even list the secondary controller uin the device manager....damn DELL computers, pay over 1500 dollars for this and they think i should pay the helpdesk to get help after ive only had it for 4 months..i want some answers...well anyways,if anyone knows more let me know..also the samsung cd-r wasnt st to master on the secondary ide, it was set to cable select..i wonder what the heck for? Thanks guys for the help
Found out some new info...My optical drives are on the primary IDE Controller...The Sony install manual had me thinking har drives are on primary and optical drives on secondary... well my opticals are both on primary and the hard drive isnt even on a IDE controller. but the problem stil lies in that i cannot enable dma on the slave drive on the IDE it is runnig in PIO..i download a proggy from dell called pio2dma and it doesnt work....i dont know how to enable it.i wonder if i unistall the primary ide controller and reboot if that will do it?by the way my pc is a dimension 8400
Your hard drive is probably SATA. That's why your optical drives are on primary IDE channel and no secondary channel is listed. For both the optical drives: under device manager, make sure "DMA if available" is chosen for each. Leave the drives themselves enabled. However, uninstall/disable the primary IDE channel in Device Manager. Then reboot. Windows will find everything as "new hardware" and DMA should be present on both drives.
i guess i figured it out guys...it is a SATA hard drive and only have a primary IDE. i reset the cmos on the mobo. when i rebooted the pc recognized both with dma..however when i rebooted(4 times) the pc beeped and said floppy diskette failure. i assume it was trying to boot the pc from a floppy drive. i cant remember what i did now but it is ok now. no beeping and trying to boot from a floppy.
Do you eve have a floppy on that computer? If not go back to the Bios setup and find the "boot sequence". This is the order in which the computer will look for a bootable drive. If no floppy, remove it from the boot sequence list or at least move it to last choice.
no floppy drive.that what i did...i just removed it and saved settings and the pc works good now..yay
