Burning problems...please help
View this Thread in Original format
GTinMS
Ok heres the deal: new cendyne burner (24x10x40) newer computer (1.4GHz AMD Athlon 1600 XP, 256 MB of ram, etc) and CDRWIN burning software. Im not sure of the speed of the CDs, but thats my best idea as to the problem. The error I keep getting says:
Error 'write' command failed on device 0:0:0
Erad/write error or bad medium detected (some mumbo jumbo)

Any idea what is happening?
El~ZaPo
"Bad medium detected" means that the CD is bad, or not capable of burning at fast speeds.

Have you tried burning at a slower speed, like 6x ?
GTinMS
Its Fujifilm CDs by the way. 16x seems to work usually, and 20 has worked a time or two.
El~ZaPo
Ok.. then its the CDs... because most only burn up to 16x. It usually says on the package when you buy them.
GTinMS
Update: Its possible that I had the wrong speed cds, but I bought a 50-pack of Memorex 24x CDs and I still didnt get a full burn. So I shut down, came back up, tried it again, still no burn.

You DO have the legit version of CDRWin, right ?
GTinMS
If youre talking about the cracked version, yes. The one that didnt work created a full cd (tracked) of hissing as if youd unplugged the sattelite/cable from your TV. I got that one fixed, and now itll burn about 70% and then kick out the original error. Weird thing is, I just tried burning a data cd with Nero and it burned fine but I did notice that the read buffer and the write buffer didnt stay as stable as they used to with the old burner (8x Sound Blaster, IDE). It took 6:31 to write 697mb to it.

Im running WindowsME. Nero works pretty good but you cant use cuesheets with it. That was my whole reason for using CDRWIN.

veezee
i see.. you sure you have a GOOD copy of cdrwin? mine works great..

if you want a copy, gimme a shout on ICQ.. or actually, i am jumping on IRC into #tranceaddict .. find me there..

Of course you can use cue sheets with Nero ! File -> Burn Image ... easy.
