Hi all

winxp pro SP3
Loadsa ram
dual core
**2 X lite on dvdrw LH-20A 1H**

I went to burn a cdr for audio cd using wmp9 and got an error message;

"Windows Media Player cannot burn the files to the CD. Verify that the disc
is clean and not damaged. If necessary, select a slower recording speed or
try a different brand of blank discs."

So I complied with that but to no avail. So i tried burning an audio cd
within i-tunes, and that failed aswell as Nero. I tried my CD/R discs on
another PC without a problem so next I installed WMP 11, but still the same.
Then after more googling I installed aspi files and checked with an aspi
checker and they were installed properly and no probs were reported, I also
loaded the latest firmware for the 2 optical drives but still the same
issue.

Now my heads totally batterd and I can't seem to find an answer. I can't see
it being an issue with the cdr's or the media programs so that just leaves
me believing something on my system is corrupted, or settings may be wrong
somewhere.

Please somebody put me out of my misery. also I changed dma to pio then back
and also tried burning at slower speeds and stopping uneeded services.

Yes, on both drives thanks.

Is error correction enabled on your drive properties in media player options?
If yes are you sure you have the software supplied with your drive
(standard). If yes your drive might now be faulty take it to a computer
technician let him test the drive and stop worrying yourself with so much
other twang!

Failure on both drives would be unusual.. check in the drives properties
there should be a Recording tab and a check mark on "Enable CD Recording on
this drive". If no tab is available, check the fix in Kelly's Korner

If the Recording tab isn't available, find the registry fix here.

Fix is on Line 23. Allow or Disable CD Burn Options

Update

Error correction (PJG's post) wasn't checked so tried that, but to no avail.
Tried kelly's Korner link...No joy.
I've been juggling "Enable CD Recording on this drive" on both drives just
to make sure one wasn't faulty.
Flashed Bios.
Updated Nvidia chipset.
Uninstalled both optical drives and let windows load em back.
Uninstalled I-tunes Ver 8 (Trying anything)
Changed from DMA to PIO and back.
Made sure IMAPI (or was it ATAPI?) runs automatically in services.
Googled intensly and found others with same issue different drives and
systems but no real fix.
Insatalled logitechs ASPI layer ( early Version, as stated "More stable")
and checked with ASPI checker.
Changed WMP from 9 to 11.
Removed KB929399 (read somewhere gave probs) no joy re- installed fix.

Don't really want to get into opening up and checking cables & power
supplies if possible due to unlikely
event of both drives failing simultaneously.
I can burn/read dvd data on both drives, read on both CD drives but not burn
CD data.
But still none the wiser.

I don't know what else I can try...Anything I've missed?

I had a DVD/CD burner that would burn DVDs, read CDS and DVDS but would not
burn CDs. Research showed there are two different lasers for DVD burners, one
for CDS and one for DVD.

Can you burn a DVD?

If so, both drives may be faulty.
