I am running Win XP on a MSI 648Max MB with a P4 2.4 CPU
512 DDR, WD 120 GB HD, Nvidia Geforce4 Ti 4400, The above burner and a Toshiba DVD ROM SD M1612

I had not Burned a disk for a few months, attempted to do so the other day using nero which came with the drive. It seemed to burn the disk but when it apparently finished the app hung. I tried to close it with no success and had to pull the plug. After rebooting I tried to read the disk that had been burned. It would not respond and I got the error message, cant read files unknown.
I then went and updated nero, ran spybot, then adaware and AVG 6.0 anti virus. No viruses, some other crap which I deleted. I then tried again to burn a disk with the same results.

Next step, went to device manager and checked the drivers on both optical drives. this is what I found, 4 windows drivers with the following number on all of them 5.1.2600.1106 (020828-1920) 46.38KB the only difference was the name after the last slash which were, \storprop.dll, \redbook.sys, \imapi.sys, cdrom.sys. I also found a driver from ahead software 4.0.7.2 with \incdpass.sys, one from music match inc. 1.0.1.104 \imxiw2k.sys, and one last driver, which was at the top of the list of drivers B.H.A. Co. LTD 1.03 \bsstor.sys.

That last driver I cant associate with anything on my computer. I am also curious as to, should there be so many drivers for this device? I also checked my Toshiba and found the same drivers there. I have one last question if I need to delete some of these drivers, how do I go about it? Thank you for any help you can offer.

Did you try burning again since the failed attempt? Sometimes if you try to burn too much information onto a disk, and Nero will let that happen, it will freeze. Sometimes it will just freeze for no reason. I wouldn't say it's a driver issue though. Try burning again, but make sure you're also burning at the correct speed. To be safe, I always burn cd's at around 12x or 16x so my cd's will still be compatible with older cdroms and players. At least make sure you aren't trying to burn at a higher speed than what your cd's are rated

yeah I did that, I was not even close to burning a full disk and I was using a lower speed, again the program apeared to finish the burn and said it had finished, but the busy lite was still lit on the drive. When I clicked the finish button on the final screen it would not respond. I was also using media that I have been burning to all along

different question same topic. in nero 5.5.10, on audio burns, why does my recorder buffer and used read buffer drop during a burning session? its taking double the time to burn my stuff (i have a lite on 52x, using 52x discs,thankfully none of them have become coasters yet). i heard it could be something with pci latency or ide chipset drivers.. i'm lost.

 

[Kevbum522]

Either that or you're just running too many other programs in the background while you're burning, which is the most likely culprit. Try to not run other apps while you're burning and also make sure that alot of things aren't running in the system tray

No it was not other apps running. I always shut every thing down when I am burning a disk. Any other suggestions?
