CD Burning problems.

[.Maleficus.]

So I have 2 CD/DVD burners. Neither are working. 1 worked for a while, then stopped a few months ago. I bought a new one. New one doesn't work. I get the same error I get with the first one. WTF. Anyone have any ideas? The burning fails in K3b, Serpentine, and DeepBurner. Here's the K3b error message.

Anyone have any ideas? I would really like to get this stuff working... :(

Do you have your ASPI layer installed?

[Crimson Sky]

sounds like it could be a problem with the IDE channel--perhaps you might want to look at any recent driver or chipset updates. what are the specs of the mobo?

[.Maleficus.]

It is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, with the F6 BIOS. It has the Intel ICH8 SATA controller, and the JMicron SATA/IDE controller. I haven't changed anything since I got it (besides the BIOS) and it worked before. Here's what Deepburner said.


WRITING ERROR [HARDWARE ERROR (LOGICAL UNIT COMMUNICATION CRC ERROR (ULTRA DMA/32)))]

I'm going to try to search the internet a little more, but I'm really confused on this still.

[.Maleficus.]

I LOVE YOU NEWEGG. I went back to Newegg to find the proper name for this drive, to see if there were drivers, and the first thing I read was the most recent review. Turns out if you don't have it connected to a 80-pin IDE cable, you will get a CRC error during a burn. Works now. Now to test my Xubuntu ISO to see if it worked good...


Edit: I forgot to mention. Good bye pretty cable management... Now I have a dumb flat IDE cable obstructing my view, but I also have an old XX-pin cable floating around behind my mobo tray.. I'll be having some fun to night :rolleyes:.

You can use magiciso to burn iso file to cd and dvd. It works fine to me.
