Newbie w/ Pioneer 104

[thunderz]

I have 2 different systems i have tried this Pioneer DVR-104 in.

Using Princo DVD-RW's as my media from Discsdirect.com

Trying to burn Data Dvds & Iso Images.

1 - Athlon 600mhz, 384 meg ram, asus k7m, via chipset, XP

2- Duron 700mhz 128 meg ram, fic w/ via chipset, XP

I first thought it was a bad drive so i returned it for another 104 now I have another drive and i once again and trying burns.

The most common error i keep receiving now w/ this one is :

Error 10 at Sector ( this # varies ) - Buffer Underrun - Command:2A Sense:05 Asc:21 ASCQ:02

When I looked this up under primo this is what it tells me ?

5 21 02 Invalid Address For Write Incremental

Now how can this keep happing being the drive is buffer underun proof?
I did read alot of threads about PIO & Dma etc , I have tried to go into
the bios and set the drive for PIO Mode 4 and disabled DMA still same results.. I have tried over 50 total Princo DVD-RW's and still have yet to come across a good burn, once i had a Data cd actually complete with Disc juggler but nothing could read it afterwards.. I have tried using Disc Juggler, Recordnow DX, Recordnow Max and Primo DVD.

Anyone able to offer some past experience , Ideas, anything i am willing to hear it all


Thanks for your time w/ this thread

how much data are you trying to burn? try burning around 1gb.

Also, try using nero to burn the DVD.

Bartman,

Around 4 gig was my data i had tried to burn, also i have tried to burn several iso images of things and keep running across these buffer underruns. I did a few times get some good burns but they didnt work afterwards..

I am with bartman, use Nero. Does the error happen when you do not try to burn 4 GB of data ? Bartman might be right there too, a certain amount of space is needed for the disc format, you may be going over it.

Yeah i am going to give this nero a try here, but my only question to this is 2 things.

The dvd should hold like 4.6 gig i bieleve?

Secondly how about when i try and burn a 2 gig Iso file

Isn't this sorta like the error people were getting when their drive controller settings needed to be changed? Let me take a look....

Darnit! I can't find the link... its somewhere on Pioneers site.
