Are you useing cheep DVD blank's disc if so that's the problem

[Alexandre]

Even with DVD+RW Sony that comes with DRU500A gives the same error!

He said it does not happen when he uses the same burner on his friends setup. At least that's how I read it.

Alexandre, you have shown the problem is isolated to your setup so I would start with software. Make a ghost backup of your machine and try loading windows back on and just burning software to see if the problem is still present, if it is then you can ghost your original image back on and figure out what hardware is causing your problems.

Hum.

Exactly what are the errors found in the error log? Is it the name or actual data that wrong? Did you burn the same exact files on both systems? How long are the filename? Any strange character in them?

Exactly what are the errors found in the error log? file verification error files ....
Is it the name or actual data that wrong? data was wrong
Did you burn the same exact files on both systems? yes
How long are the filename? 10
Any strange character in them? no

Tnks. Usualy get hit with the strange character/long name error.

When you burn what else do you have running. IE tray icons etc.
Do both have DMA on or off on that port where the DRU500A is connected to?

Are you running the b version of Nero {5.5.10.7b}? Came out yesterday. Are both running the same version?

[Alexandre]

I allready turn off all icons norton, sound, etc... It´s the same thing.

Do both have DMA on or off on that port where the DRU500A is connected to? I think so Win XP Pro activate UDMA

Nero 5.5.10.7 the two pc´s

I have the patch to run it but only later, on the evening.

I was talking to a friend of mine and i remember that he install via drivers under xp and i don´t, later on i will try that.

The problem is it could be anything or everthing.

There are setting for both channels on a port to turn off or on.

Just for giggle is the burn protection on? Just a thought.

[Alexandre]

the burnproof in enable.

I burn 6 DVD´s without any problem, but the 7 and 8th strikes again with this error!!!

Man I am fuc... with this!!!

The problem is prob nero, try using record now max or dvd decryptor. Both of these have never given me a prob with my sony dru500a with 1.0f firmware.

[NightWing]

Hate these type of problems and I work and design system for clients. There is a million thing that could cause it. And no two systems are alike.

The main thing is to "cut/split" the problem. IE split in half the system. Is it this group or that. The do again untill you find the problem. There is a way to turn off stuff when things load. Not sure what XP called the setting item to do that. Basiaclly turn off all except for basic items.

Or if you could locate a small HD to temp put a OS on { XP will allow itself to run for 30 days with out registration } 10 to 20gb would do. And just put the min on. OS/Drivers/Program for Burnner. If still a problem odd are its a MB thing. Else its a software problem.

Good luck on the hunt.

Thanks I allready try that but I want to try it without my IBM Disc its the only thing that is missing.

[Soerin]

I'm using dvd decreptor and recordnow. I never had problems burning dvd-r on mine sony dru500a. But....
I bought Lead data dvd-r the were working fine in the beginning but now
when im burning with nero or recordnow max. The dvd-r only plays on the dru3500a. It doesent polay on mine stand alone an pc dvd-rom. All the other disc-s have worked fine.
does anybody have an idea

[NightWing]

This is the time you beak out the good stuff and give it a try. IE known good name brand disk and run the same test.

[Alexandre]

Hi again without the disk makes the same thing, i only want to know if it is imcopatible our the board is just damaged.

Is there anybody with this configuration ASUS A7VE-266 (RAID)+SONY DRU500A??

Does it works?


Thanks...
