just got my prodiscs from supermediastore

is that a good scan?

[henry_nettles]

I would call it acceptable. Your maximum numbers are within the acceptable range. It's nothing to brag about, but I would expect it to work well.

kprobe scans are overrated.
How does it fair when used?
And in another test program? (Nero CD-DVD Speed, scandisc)

I think I have seen the problems your scan shows before and it is related to the 811. I would look for another drive to test it out.

Second that. That's an extremely organized pattern for such highs and lows. Very unlikely to be the media since it's just a dye spun out and would be hard to make that kind of even variation. Unlikely to be your drive's writing either, just having a random problem in the code isn't likely to make that kind of pattern, although it is possible it'd be a small chance out of a very large lot of other outputs from bad code. Most likely something interfering wth the read on your scan, whether external to the drive or inside code or problem.. Do you have other programs running all the time in the background? Or another drive on the same cable that's being accessed while the read is going on? That's a very regular pattern, likely something interfering on purpose if you don't have other problems with your computer..

Play it back on something else and see if everything is good. The low parts of that scan look reasonably good, but the whole scan is suspect until you get rid of the interference.

Pull up task manager, then kill every process you can that doesn't stop your computer. Then try the scan again. May be in the drive or something, but may be your virus scanner or similar program, or something checking another drive on that same IDE cable..

Also be sure and do the ad-aware / spybot S&D thing if you don't already. Some of the trojans would probably do exactly the same thing..

Just some ideas, definitely search on the drive type for known problems as chaos suggested first, but then try these if you don't find a specific answer.
