cd burning issue

Ultra DMA mode 4 is low for your hardware, to get the best data transfer
rate apply the registry fix described in the KB247951 article and it should reach 6 on the primary IDE Channel... the secondary channel may not go above mode 2 or 3 but that is normal for optical drives. The article is dated August 2005 and doesn't have the updated information, it says to create a REG_DWORD value named "EnableUDMA66" but you should probably name it "EnableUDMA133" and restart to see if it reaches transfer rate of 6, if it doesn't, rename it "EnableUDMA100" and see if it reaches mode 5. If it is still at mode 4, leave the value named as Enable UDMA66 or delete it. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/247951 ----------------------------------------- "p.mc" p@mc escribió en el mensaje ...

Hi Ronaldo

Ok, so according to your hardware information, the Primary IDE Channel is
probably capable of UDMA Transfer mode 6 and it is working at UDMA4,.. the CD/DVD drives are capable of UDMA Transfer Mode 4 and are working at what mode.....? The most practical way to know some answers and see if the registry edition is necessary, is to install Everest Home Edition... once you install it, look under Storage\ATA... you will see two lines that say "Max. UDMA Transfer Mode" and another that says "Active UDMA transfer mode"... if both Max, and Active don't match, you'll need to apply the registry edition... this is to improve the transfer rate on the Hard Drive, for the CD/DVD drives, Everest may not provide the necessary information but the Secondary IDE Channel is probably working at UDMA4 the same as the HD... I repeat, this may not be the solution to the burning problem but it may help at some level of data transfer which to my knowledge is a problem that affects optical drives with writing problems and errors. ----------------------------------------- "p.mc" p@mc escribió en el mensaje ...

cd burning issue
There is no question now that the problem physical and not virtual... is may
be due to faulty hardware or low quality media. Hardware could be; weak power supply, dirty laser lens (it takes very little dust to affect it)... or it could be a combination of the possible causes... if for example the laser lens was a little dusty resulting in a little lower than normal laser intensity.. if the power supply were just a little low on power, and if the media were of low quality, the combination of all three or just two of the possible causes, could result in the same problem. I also read somewhere that a more adequate firmware could improve the laser intensity and manage to burn the same media it could not burn before, so you may want to update the device drivers. The question remains of why the two devices at the same time?.. the cause could be a common one, one that affects both devices... and it would apply to a weak power source or low quality media, and not necessarily to the laser lens, which would be the least desired cause.
