Can't Burn...Even with replaced drive. UHH!

[Mundos]

Hi,

All the drives read perfectly, and the computer is functioning fine. Its stable with p95, no memory issues (ive tried different ram just for fun) and its a fresh install of windows. the previous installation had the exact same problem.

its an acer aspire 360d4200 with new ram hd psu and optical drives.

any help would be appreciated! I'm trying to sell it but i need it to be working properly or i'll take a big hit.

Thanks!

What are you trying to burn, using what software, onto what kind of media?

 

[Mundos]

trying to burn iso images, data, anything

burning onto ridata cd-rs or dvd-rs the disks aren't defective

i'm using deep burner, but ive also tried nero

Sounds like you have a bad filter driver installed.

 

[Mundos]

what would you suggest i do about that?

Reformat or try booting Ubuntu off a flash drive and burning a disk.

already did a f/r i'll give ubuntu a quick try...i think i did this before but i dont remember the result...ive shelved it for a while hoping id come up with something.

Then you need to reformat Windows.

 

[alyarb]

get the make/model of the burner and flash the firmware on the drive. doesn't matter if it's older or newer as long as it's something other than what you've got.

i have reinstalled windows about 4 times now and 3 different firmwares anything else it could be?

Apparently, XP sees your optical as a player but not a burner.

Follow VirtualLarry's advice. For XP, try this (after you back up your registry.) In RegEdit go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

click run, type regedit and surf to that reg key. Then delete the contents of the upperfilters and lowerfilters keys. Then reboot. Before messing with the registry remember to back it up, you can find instructions on how to back up and restore the registry form Microsoft's site. Also you may have to re-install whatever cd burner app you are using afterward.
