Guest Ross Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 I have 2 CD drives on my PC. Both are cd burners. I am trying to copy an entire disk. The burner software copies the source info OK, but when it tries to burn to the target I get an "error" message. I have tried burning using both drives, and I have used 2 different burner softwares. Not sure what to try now - all help and suggestions appreciated.
Guest Ronaldo Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Re: CD Burner problems All burning aplications log the burning process,.. what does the log say about the error?. What are the two applications you have used? Try making an ISO image of the CD before burning it to another CD, it makes for better and trouble free copies. Try to copy&burn the CD in two stages with "ImgBurn". It's very simple and easy to use and failure proof so far. http://www.imgburn.com/ In case you keep using the computer while the copy & burn process is going on, it's better to do nothing else to allow the application all the available memory for better efficiency. Also delete your temp files and memory clutter before attempting to burn the CD again. Use CCleaner for that job. http://www.ccleaner.com/ If all this fails, both drives may have dust on the laser lens (which is a relatively common problem).. likely if they are a few years old, as early as two/three years (depending on dust or pollution conditions) may be long enough for some dust to have collected on the laser lens to cause errors. But there are many factors that could influence a failed burning session.

What exactly is the fill text of the "error" message and what software have you used? These are important details. -pk
Guest Ross Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Re: CD Burner problems Patrick, actually I have tried 3 different softwares. Nero, Express Burn, and CD Burner XP. Below is the message I keep getting: "An error occured while burning the disk. Most likely the disk is not useable. (devNTSPTI_IO_error_) could not write to disk (LBA: 0 length: 26). SCSI Pass-Through Interface I/O Error. -0xFF045D I have tried to burn to 2 different brand disks with the same outcome.
