I have the following system:
LANPARTY NFII Ultra (PCB Rev A). Motherboard Rev. AA0, and BIOS dated
07/18/2003
Athlon XP 2500+
Thermaltake Tornado CPU cooler
400w P/S in midtower case paino case.
1 stick of 512Mb and 1 stick of PC3200 memory
2 Maxtor 120 IDE harddisks attached to the highpoint controller as a raid 1.5 array
1 Samsung 52x cdrom drive attached on own cable to master ide controller as a master disk
1 usb 2 40x burner attached to a usb port in the front of the computer
(in the port holder that comes with the dfi motherboard)
1 DVD-RW R/W, attached on own cable to other master ide controller as a master disk
ati 9500 AGP8 Video card
PS2 mouse and keyboard
MS XP Professional w/service pack 1 and patches
the drives are seen correctly by win xp and can read and play data and music cds
i can copy files from the cdrom drives to the hard disk ok
but when using either xp's built in burning software or nero 6 ultra eddition i cant burn from either drive
the files are read and cashed from the hard disk etc. but when the computer tries to write to the disk the
error message i get is scuzzy controler error burn terminated
when i simulate a burning session which nero allows me to go i get the error message:
Can only write at 4x instead of 40x,
because speed of source data is too slow
this works for the simulation but very slowly. when i try burning at this speed the system seems to
work for a second then freeze, work for a second and freeze and the neor program stops responding
then i have to go to start and restart to spit out the disk and get a working computer.
If i try pressing the button on the cd to spit it out nothing happens
i have changed the cable and the ide connector the drives are attached to but this did not change the result
the burner attached to the usb drive works fine.
using microsofts built in burning software does not make a difference.
one suggestion given to me was to make sure dma or udma on the nvidia controller is enabled.
i still dont see where to to this
how do i do this? i was told:
Go to Device Manager, then to IDE/ATAPI controllers and then double-click the Primary / Secondary IDE channels.
On the properties that pop-up, go to the Advanced setting tab. You should be able to see the current transfer mode - if not Ultra DMA, then select DMA if available under transfer mode.
If you havent already done so, set each optical drive as a Master on an independent channel.
on my system i Go to Device Manager, then to IDE/ATAPI controllers where i have only one device/ide controler listed: nvidia nforce ide controller.
i double click there is no listing of primary secondary ide channels. i have tabs for general, driver and resources. no listing for dma of any kind that i can see.
any suggestions on what could be causing the problem and how to fix it? according to below dma is off.
how do i turn it on?
here is the log file for the simulation if it helps
