CD Burner problems

[Ross]

I have 2 CD drives on my PC. Both are cd burners. I am trying to copy an
entire disk. The burner software copies the source info OK, but when it tries
to burn to the target I get an "error" message. I have tried burning using
both drives, and I have used 2 different burner softwares. Not sure what to
try now - all help and suggestions appreciated.

All burning aplications log the burning process,.. what does the log say
about the error?. What are the two applications you have used?

Try making an ISO image of the CD before burning it to another CD, it makes
for better and trouble free copies. Try to copy&burn the CD in two stages
with "ImgBurn". It's very simple and easy to use and failure proof so far.

In case you keep using the computer while the copy & burn process is going
on, it's better to do nothing else to allow the application all the
available memory for better efficiency. Also delete your temp files and
memory clutter before attempting to burn the CD again. Use CCleaner for
that job. http://www.ccleaner.com/

If all this fails, both drives may have dust on the laser lens (which is a
relatively common problem).. likely if they are a few years old, as early as
two/three years (depending on dust or pollution conditions) may be long
enough for some dust to have collected on the laser lens to cause errors.
But there are many factors that could influence a failed burning session.

What exactly is the fill text of the "error" message and what software have
you used? These are important details.

Patrick, actually I have tried 3 different softwares. Nero, Express Burn, and
CD Burner XP. Below is the message I keep getting:

"An error occured while burning the disk. Most likely the disk is not
useable. (devNTSPTI_IO_error_) could not write to disk (LBA: 0 length: 26).
SCSI Pass-Through Interface I/O Error. -0xFF045D

I have tried to burn to 2 different brand disks with the same outcome.
