Burners wont Burn!

I got a Lite on ltr 52327S and a NEC 1300A burners, and i have been burning hundreds of the same cd throughout the past week. All of a sudden, the burning program (both alcohol 120 and nero) says it cannt complete the burning on either burner because the medium may have changed?? The only thing i have changed was some startup options in msconfig, which i know would not affect it. I looked for firmware and or drivers and found none. I dont know why it would do this, and i really need to finish these cds.
 
This is the error i get in the log file:

You won't get any help if you are illegally copying CD's.... What is it you are making so many copies of ?
 
I gaurntee you the cds are legit. My friend put out a cd of his band, and i am doing duplication work for him cause i have a much faster comp, and 2 burners. He has aksed me to make him sevreal hundred copies, and i am doing so. I just wanna know why it has stopped working
 
OK, thanks for the explanation. I wouldn;t want to contribute to warezing.

Anyway, a while back I had problems like this. The burners get too hot. They are not commercial quality, and not designed to do non-stop burning like that. Turn the PC OFF and let it cool for a while (hours ??) and turn it on and try again. If that solves the problem, the first time you get the error again, turn it off and let it cool down. I couldn;t do more than 10 on mine before it went bezerk, but that was when I had a 2x burner....(burning video of the school play for other parents, no warezing)
 
i got amd barton 3000 400fsb
512 mb pc3200 Ram
9600 xt video
80 gig and 20 gig hd
dfi lan party nf2 ultra mobo
windows xp pro
 
I think the problem lies in your chipset drivers. I recommend rolling back your IDE drivers to generic ones. I assume that when you installed your chipset drivers that you installed the "Nvidia SW drivers." Anyway, try that. I think it will fix your problem
 
DON'T do the drivers. It was working and stopped ? Not a driver problem. Try the cool-down I suggested, and reply back with results.

Another possibility is that you just wore out the burners. My first burner died after about 100 burns(2x), the next went to about 200(6x) burns, and my current one is at about 200 burns and going strong (32x burner)
 
But was the computer off ? They need to have no power going thru then for hours. You could remove the power plugs if you need the computer.

Also note my update above about "they may have died"
 
Can you borrow a burner for a bit to test ? I really think something in hardware croaked, and the drives would be my first guess. You can get one free (or almost) after rebates, the last one I got was $5 after rebates.
 
I don;t know, but you shouldn;t have to to anything but put the other one in, and it should work, UNLESS your psu did something funny. Check your voltages with a VOM first, then try it if they are OK.
 
One other question, were you doing anything with this computer other than burning during that week, especially the day it quit ?

And check the PSU also regardless. Let us know the results.
 
do u have another machine to try the drives on? or even try using a knoppix live cd if u are comfortable with using linux. my guess is a software problem. good luck 🙂

yeah and remember to seek out simpler solutions before trying more complicated ones
