dvd burner crisis

<< < (3/8) > >>

CleverCat:
How about this...

My LG DVD writer suddenly starting rebooting the PC when a disk was inserted! My IT friend tried everything - new cable etc...  It doesn't work in his Grandsons PC either!

Then he tested it in his PC - no problem? :huh:

I've been forced to order a new Lite On (antsy about LG now)...

PaladinMJ:
I think its definately a software issue.. just a feeling I have. Looking for a disc with my live linux on it, hopefully it should let me try and burn a DVD, if it works there I know its a s/w prob and can do more to try and defeat it! I'm afraid of buying a new drive and STILL having to find the problem.

f0dder:
What makes you think it's a software problem?

Use ImgBurn and check tools->Filter Driver Load Order. That will let you see filter drivers attached to the CDROM class... if there's nothing suspicious there, it's most likely not a software issue.

well i thought it may be a s/w issue because a) the drive still reads b) i updated the chipset drivers in between the last working burn and this problem.  c) hope.
I am starting to believe that the drive is just dead though... I can't find my live CD to test it under there. and  after flashing the drive ImgBurn gave me this:

ImgBurn

DeviceIoControl(FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME) Failed!

Unable to lock volume for exclusive access.
Reason: Access is denied.
Hint: You've got another program running that's using the drive, close it and then click 'Try Again'.
though nothing else was running nor should have been using the drive, so i told imgburn to ignore exclusive access in the settings and it gave me :

i looked @tools->Filter Driver Load Order and it looked OK to me, so i guess I'm going to save up for a new drive. are lite on good?

PaladinMJ:
i ran the Intel® Chipset Identification Utility and updated the drivers there too... so i guess it is a dead drive.... :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
