CD Burner problems

[Ross]

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?

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 had a drive about that age that started failing to burn. 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.

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

Re: CD Burner problems

Have you tried changing the brand of disc you use or is it one that has
always worked before ?

Re: CD Burner problems

Ross,

Click My Computer and then right click on one of the CD burners listed.
Click properties and then click on the Recording tab. Make sure that one of
them is enabled for recording.

You missed the most common reason: Knackered laser.

THE BEST PROGRAM FOR COPY IS NERO 6,HERE NO PROBLEM YOU MAST JUST SET
WHICH DISK READ AND WHICH BURN,ALL DATE FOR BRN YOU MUST GIVE WHOTS
ABOUT DATE.
WINDOVS XP HAVE IN DEFOLD ROKSI FOR COPY,THIS IS GOD FOR DATE,PROBLEM
IS AT MUSIC WHERE MUST CONVERTE FROM MP3 IN MEDIA FILE.
THE BEST VARIANTE IS CLONE CD,NO COMPLICATE
