Nope, it's no good, it's still failing to write. It'll do the whole flamin' disc, then it doesn't complete Disc-at-Once.

Tried changing it to Track-at-Once to see if that'll help, but it won't change on DVD. Could have sworn I wrote the last disc Track-at-Once, but I guess I must not have done...

Looks like I'll be contacting Sony Custome Support after all.

I've saved a log file from Nero, is there something in here that might be a problem?

go to the store where you bought it from, say that it is faulty, if it is still under warranty they will test it for you, if their tests fails they will have to replace it (unless you have performed any form of warranty void)

Unfortunatly it's not that simple. I bought it from John Lewis, which is a big department store, and they don't have facilities to test computers. They'd have to send it away.

I bought my laptop from them a few years ago and it was faulty, so this is how I know what they do! Samsung managed to loose the laptop, so John Lewis had to replace it with a newer model, which I've had no problem with since. That would be about three years ago now. So, they wouldn't just replace the whole unit. Not that I wouldn't like to get my grubby little mits on the V3M!

The trouble is, the Vaio's a big ol' heavy beast and it's not like I can just wander up to the town centre with it, I have to drive to the nearest JL which is about 45 miles away... :(

I've contacted Sony, but I'm not holding out much hope of a response this side of New Year.

Well, anyway, thanks for all your advice, I'll let you know what happens. I won't be fiddling with it over Christmas, as I'm off to my Mum's today! Hope everyone who reads this thread has a great Christmas!

Thanks creaky, I'd appreciate that. Needless to say, I've heard nothing from Sony "Support" as yet. Have to give them the benefit of the doubt at the moment though, what with the season!

karimali8, if you check page 1 of the thread, everything's explained there. Just saves me having to rewrite everything! :D

Hi Creaky,

Thanks for taking the time to check over my log, much appreciated.

OK, so, Nero's up to date; I've actually installed 6.6.0.18 since re-installing Windows, but get the same result as before.

Yes, that's the right one. I did come accross that site whist Googleing for Drivers or Firmware for the drive. Sony decided NOT to support this drive, dispite fitting it into most of their Vaio machines!
Quote:

I know the media's a bit crappy, but they have worked very well for me in the past. I've used both the Mitsubishi and Fuji ones before and, although they don't play well on my stand alone Panasonic, they're great in my PS2, so I've stuck with using them for data backup and unimportant video files. So, I at least know that they do work! Also, I've got some TDK discs that are excellent quality, but they're not burning either. Don't want to coaster too many of them though as they're pricey!

I'm not using any software other than Nero as I'm mostly burning Mpeg movies and data to the disc. Is there some way of manually setting this in Nero?

Right, I will certainly give that a go when I get back home (at my Mum's still for New Year!).

As for the memory usage, I tried another burn after doing a complete system restore with only the original software installed and Nero, which also failed. I didn't get the log file from that, but if it fails again after trying to fix the ATAPI drivers I'll copy the log and post it again.

Hope you have a great New year!

OK, tried another burn after uninstalling and reinstalling the ATAPI drivers again. Worked OK first time, but burn failed again when I tried to burn another project!

I did nothing between burns except start a new project in Nero and add the files. I closed down all running programs as suggested before the first burn. The only thing I did differently in Nero was not have the program veryfiy the disc after burning, which I did on the first burn.

Sonic came bundled with the Vaio and was reinstalled when I did the restore. I've removed it, but was wondering if it might still be in the registry interfering with Nero?

Oh, and I got a reply from Sony "Support". Funny how I knew they'd be as much use as a lead ballon!:
Quote:
Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for contacting us. We do not offer support for Nero software,
onl;y the sofware bundled on the Vaio. Please note that we cannot
guarantee the drive will work with all possible media and with third party
burning software. Your drive has been tested with (amongst others)
Pioneer and Sony blank disks and should work fine with these.

If you installed third party burning software, even after uninstalling
it might have left remnants which still block the preinstalled software
from working. A possible solution would be to perform a System Restore
to a date before the third party burning software was installed. A
System Restore will bring the configuration of your VAIO back to the way it
was at an earlier point in time, but will not touch any data or files
you recently modified. If you do not know how to perform a System
Restore, then please follow the link below:

http://www.vaio-link.com/uk/kb/A00000_A00499/A00426.html

If this does not help then please try booting your VAIO in safe mode
(press F8 while booting, as soon as you see the Sony logo, then select
'safe mode') and removing the drive in your Device Manager. It will then
automatically be reinstalled as soon as you restart your VAIO. If you
do not know how to access the Device Manager, then please follow the
link below:

http://www.vaio-link.com/uk/kb/2000_0/2502.html

If this too does not work, then we can only advise you to perform a
recovery of your VAIO with the recovery disk which was delivered with it.
Do make sure that you have a backup of your personal data when you need
to do this, as they will be lost during the process. If you want to
check how to perform a recovery, then please go to our website
www.vaio-link.com, then select the 'Troubleshooting' link under the header 'Self
Service Area', then click the link 'How can I restore my Vaio Notebook
or Desktop to it's original configuration ?' under the header 'Most
Popular Requests'.

Please try burning using the Record Now software from Sonic, if this
should not function with the default settings with a variety of disks we
may need to servicethe Vaio at our service centre.

Best regards,

Sony VAIO Link Support Team
Loads of use, thanks! *Rolls eyes* So, what they're saying is that, if you don't use the cr*p pre-installed software they supply, you're on your todd! I mean, if it's not burning with Nero, what are the chances of it burning with Sonic? Is it worth trying, I wonder? Am I really ging to be forced to stop using my favorite (not to mention the most recommended!) piece of burning software in favour of an inferior and less managable heap of pre-installed rubbish?

Answers on a postcard to Sony Customer Support, Europe! :D

P.S, hope everyone had a great New Year!

OK, well, since I've next to nothing on the system, I'm going to do a clean install of Windows again, only this time I'm NOT letting the Sony recovery disc install any programs! Hope that cleans things up.

As for the media, I just don't get it. I hear what you're saying, but I've personally had no problems with TDK; in fact they're the best for my needs, but that's just my opinion!

As for the Fujifilm and Mitsubishi discs, I just don't understand it; they were working perfectly fine before I moved, but after they just stoped! I mean, I know the Mitsubishi ones are cheap and crappy, but they worked! I just can't understand how something can work well enough one day and then not the next. I could perfectly understand if it's the drive that failed, but the media? Sorry, I'm just no buying that!

I'll see what happens after the clean install and post back later!

of course you don't need to believe me re the media, but that's the whole point of the link i pasted before, buying TDK one day does not guarantee you get discs made by the same disc manufacturer another day.

But if they work for you, good stuff, i'm just out to make sure you and others know how easy it is to get caught out by companies such as TDK

Sorry Creaky, I think you misunderstood my post:

The Mitsubishi discs I've been using over the last few days with the failed results are from the same cake pack as the ones I used before things started to go wrong. I understand what you're saying vis a vie buying some discs, using them up and then buying some you think are the same, but arent. But I'm using the same discs from the same pack as before, but with failing results. Obviously discs from the same pack, which came from the same factory, cannot be made by different makers, so I can't understand how one will burn perfectly, but 20 minutes latter a second, from the same pack will not. Do you see what I'm saying?

Yes, I know they're cheap and that they're not the best, but the point I'm making is that I know, for a fact, that they worked perfectly well before I moved house and now they don't. All from the same cake pack! I've got several I used before for both data back-up and DVD back-up, so I just don't understand what's happened!

Please don't misunderstand me, I appreciate all you've done to help me out, but I just feel that the problem is with the drive and not the media...

Seriously? How? I mean, they come off the press (or whatever) and are packaged and shipped. How can you get different manufacturers discs in the same pack? I know you can get odd ones that don't work, but that's normal with almost everything! I'm not being funny, I really just want to know! :D

Anyho, I've downloaded Nero CD DVD Speed to take a look at what's going on in my drive.

I also had a thought last night; when I back-up a DVD I usualy use SlySoft to do all the work and that's the program that burned everything onto the Mitsubishi discs with no problems. I'm going to try that again as it may be Nero and the reminants of Sonic conflicting with each other.

I'm also re-installing a new copy of XP and not using the Sony Recovery Discs!

I guess I'll see what happens in a while!

No luck with the clean install. :( I've given in. Once I find the receipt it's going back to John Lewis.

I don't know what to suggest you do mate. Ditch Sonic and try Nero, see how it goes. I know I had Sonic on my first Samsung and when I installed Nero, Nero would constantly crash. Something to do with a conflict between the two programs. Thankfully, Samsung's ship with DECENT software now! Wish I'd not bought the Vaio and just got another Samsung laptop... ah well.

I'll have to try a few more times as my vaio is no longer under warranty. I think that one of the questions is, is the problem with the software or pioneer drive. I have no idea how one would check the drive anyway. What sort of tests can be done.

Anyway, if I find a solution, I'll let you know. By the way, I have uninstalled the sonic software but still not working.

It could be the drive itself. Seems to be the problem on my machine anyway. I'm a member of Club-Vaio and there have been a couple of complaints about that drive on the forums there. Pop by and take a look at the threads if you want more info.

What really annoys me is the fact that Sony fit this Pioneer drive to several Vaio models, but they only provide firmware updates for thier own Sony drive! I was looking into buying a Vaio Laptop, but I've decided not to bother since the problem with the desktop!

It's all very strange as if you goto the pioneer website, they do not even recognise the DVR-K14L

Also with regard to your comments about vaio, I can agree as within 7 months the letters on the keyboard started to wear off. I contacted vaio and they were not interested and said that they did not cover cosmetic faults. Well I ask you, what kind of manufacure procedure is used so that the letters start to wear within 7 months on a home pc.

Yes, I went to Pioneer's website too and I was stunned to see that the drive wasn't listed! It's like they know it's poor and they don't want to admit that they ever made the thing in the first place! Very strange...

As for the letters coming off your keyboard, that's been covered in Club-Vaio too! A chap there had the same trouble with Sony saying they wouldn't do anything. The chap pointed out that a keyboard without letters wasn't much good to anyone! After a while Sony said they'd replace it, but he had to send the whole computer back for them to check it. I mean, come on! What is wrong with Sony Customer "Service"? I was never a big fan of Sony products before buying the Vaio, but I was swayed by the beauty and compactness of the PC and thought I'd give Sony the benefit of the doubt. But after their useless handling of my complaint I'm wishing I'd plumped for the HP which was cheaper and had more features!

Speaking of HP, I've got an HP DVD Movie Writer which I was going to sell off. Glad I didn't now, because I dug it out and have managed to burn about 15 of those Mitsubishi discs and not one of them has failed! Goes to show that not all cheap media is crap and that it really IS the Pioneer drive which is buggered!

Maybe if we all club together and swamp Sony with complaints about their drive they'll actually DO something? Or, maybe I'm just living in cloud-cookoo-land! Lol!
