Guest Ross Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I have 2 CD drives. I am trying to copy a disk. The burner program copies the source disk OK, but then when it tries to burn to the target I get a message that says "burn failed". I have tried using 2 burner softwares and get the same message. I get this message when I try to copy audio and data files. All help appreciated.

How old is the drive that you are trying to burn with?
Guest Ross Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Re: CD Burner problems ShadowTek, the CD burner drive is 3 or 4 years old. Both of my CD drives are burners and no matter how I try to burn it, I get the same error message.

I replaced it with a new burner and that solved the problem. Besides, new burners have better technology that those older, ealier one. Of course, another important consideration is your power supply. How many amps does your 12volt rail(s) put out? BTW, burning at the slowest speed puts the least demand on your power supply, so you might want to try that.
Guest Ronaldo Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Re: CD Burner problems Causes that I know can cause such an error: The CD media may not tolerate the burning speed if to high Wrong or low quality CD media Dirty laser lens Not enough memory multitasking Cheap burner application Possible solutions: 1.- Simulate your burning sesions to anticipate problems, and read the burning log in case of trouble, to know the cause. 2.- Avoid copying from CD to CD, instead make an image of the original CD and next burn the image to the copy CD 3.- Do one task at a time, don't run other applications while the CD is burning. 4.- Lower the burning speed. 5.- Try with another burning application 6.- Run a laser lens cleaner or disasemble the burner and clean the laser lens ------------------------------ "Ross" <Ross@discussions.microsoft.com> escribió en el mensaje news:08BFB9CD-B712-42A1-B878-34EAE7439960@microsoft.com... >I have 2 CD drives.
