Rahstyles, are you using your computer as it is burning? hp drives are garbage. 1 of the guys i use to work with went thru 3 of them in a short time.

I'm not disagreeing with you guys, you are the experts here, but I must be lucky, after reading about all kinds of burners on AD the past 5 years I always read great reports on litey's, benq's etc. and how hp's or philips are crapola's.
I still have my first pc I bought, a compaq desktop back in 2002, I ordered it with two drives, a reader and a writer, my reader was an atapi or something I believe, and my writer was a philips 6002, I could be wrong on that one but close enough, I finally replaced that philips about a year ago, that computer was non-stop action from day one, between myself and my kids it went thru the ringer, and burned something every single day and days when somebody burned dozens of disc's.
I replaced the philips with an HP1040d, and I did that cause I could'nt find another same model philips, so far evereybody in the household is still shall I say lol abusing this compaq, its the one I allow my kids and thier friends to touch, and so far the 1040 hangs in there again with somebody burning something daily, but man that philips still blows me away with what it went thru, and it was still working mostly, just sometimes it would not load up.
My own personal HP PC that I got on craigslist used, m7330n, i bought it three years ago for 400 bucks with a va1912wb viewsonic monitor, both were like brand new, which I still think I stole it, that model of course has an hp 840b writer, which I also burn something almost daily.
I know most of you guys consider these writers crap, when I replaced my philips I kinda bought the hp writer cause it was available at circuit city, it wasnt a complicated writer, it seemed like it might be easy to install and if something was wrong I could always return it without all the mailing hassle, but it was an easy install and wroked fine from day one till present.
If my 840 ever goes on my HP I will go for another 1040 if still available, I quess if not broke dont fix it, like I said I must have been lucky.
I have no complaints on any of my optical drives, even my oldest son's the Gateway I got for him rebuilt from globalcomputers for 325 bucks, just that one dind't come with a reader, just a reader writer, and my only gripe as far as my optical drives is that on my compaq the reader for some reason hardly loads up dvd's anymore, cd's no problem, I even had it replaced with another atapi, it worked ok for about a month than the same thing started to happin, so I just gave up and use the 1040 to read and write, I just miss the convenience of not having to replace the disc twice when writing.
I also remember when before joining AD how I always used crap media like memorex etc. and since learning cause AD is like my Consumer Reports Magazine, the knowledge is endless.

I'll be damned, there you go about priceless info, thanks, I had no idea, now I can say I was the proud owner of Litey's and LG'S.
I also checked out the links you gave, intersting, my 1040 is internal even though the one ling talked about an external either way no biggie, the bottom line so far I'm very happy with what I have used, hope the luck continues.

OH and another thing i noticed.. when you go to the options before backup you can choose the speed to write the disic? everytime i restart it it alwasy shows a diffrend speed.. first it shows "4x 8x Maxium" i put it on 8x.. then when i restart it once it gets stuck.. the options are "on the same dvd-r" 4.1x 6.1x maxium"
WTF is going on!??? how can i just make it work the first time throu???
is there somthing wrong wit dvd shrink or.. the retarted ass hp computer ?? i got a HP m7330n
I read this whole thread before I replyed. Even though some of it was good info, some things where not adressed. I assume that you are trying to read from your dvd-rom with shrink and already have loaded a blank dvd to your writer. This brangs up some questions for me after reading several of your replies. Are you sure you have the dvd in the rom and the blank in the burner. A few times you expressed you did'nt know which was which. Now this case would cause this problem. See shrink will read the disc from either drive so unless you have the disc setup right your going to get tangled up. I'm going to disagree w/ one reply. Your rom should be D:/ and your Burner should be E:/, but it does'nt have to be that way.
The big thing w/ DMA over PIO is the speed. You will notice set to PIO your speeds will be cut in half or close to it. It will read and burn in PIO or at least all of my boxes will anyway. That will explain your speed changes. I did'nt notice the stats on your burner but if you have a 16x and you put in a 16x media w/ PIO transfer you'll probally see a 8x speed showen in nero, but if you figured it up you might actually only get 6x if your lucky. Now if DMA was on and your speeds kept changing I would say you where putting in low speed media. Meaning that if you what to burn at ?x then you have to put in ?x or faster to get that speed.
To answer your question on how to get it to work the first time is rather cruel but the truth. You need to learn alittle more about your box. I mean you was asked to take your disc out of one drive and put it in the other and you asked for directions. I would suggest going to my computer and right clicking on each drive and going to properties. If at the top there is'nt a recording tab best bet is its just a rom drive and if it does then it's a burner. Or you can use tools in nero which ever is easier for you. After you figure out which is which then see if you can set your disc up and pull it off the first time. I know you probally want to just stick the disc in and go away or to bed and come back to a nice clean burnt disc. On the real side when you burn a few disc you'll find that you get bad media, or memory spikes what have ya to ruin a burn. So untell you get this worked out you just might be ahead to try putting your source in the rom drive then when shrink ask for a blank you load it into the burner and see if that helps. Kinda what I'm getting at is say if you put in the source the second later you put in the media windows is already registering the source and sending you a task prompt{what do you want to do} window. and in the mean time drive "E:" {which ever your burner is} is calling on a task prompt. You never said wither you ever got one or not. It just might be to much memory load for your box. You might need to put in the source get shrink going then put in the blank media. Your burner just might not like the media your trying to use. Try another brand. You can always DL DVDDecrypter and set your backup to make an ISO and burn w/ DvDDecrypter. DvDshrink eats up CPU time and if you have as much background chatter going on as is thought to be then your going to have trouble. I reckon this is enough to chew on for a while let's see how your doing.

Which is the opposite of what you posted.
The DVD ROM is listed as the SLAVE therefore it's drive E:\.

You can always repeat the procedure and put the DVD Rom back in PIO mode if that's what you want.

No you dont get it. You was already messed up when you got here. When you unistalled your secondary control and rebooted the controler was reinstalled. If not if you go to device manger you will see a yellow "!" beside it. Reboot it'll take care of it.

See theres no issues. Thats how you go see if you have a hardware/driver problem in windows. I bet if you right clicked on the secondary controller and selected the properties and selected advance settings you would see DMA turned on.
You seem to be hung up on this controller. Have you found out which drive is which? Have you tried playing a disc in the burner? Have you tried just copying a movie you've already copied with nero or something just to see if the burner is having problems?
I understand you ordered a new burner but what if you put it in and still have the same problems. We need to come up with a way to find the problem. The only way I know to do that it make it work and see how it performs. There is no shame in putting the disc in the wrong drives. We all get ahead of ourselves and rush our boxes and they fall behind. But we got to know if its the box falling behind or the drive. If windows is falling behind add some ram and get rid of some of that stuff you dont need.

We still have some issues to address here. First is that your Dvd burner controll is still set to PIO. You need to get this fixed. You have alreadyu been told how to do this. We know this is a problem cause in this error report we see the burn started at 4x and I doubt you selected that speed.
Next issue is your memory use which also has been addressed a couple times. Look at it like this. Your reader wither it is the HDD or another drive has to read{transfer data} faster than the burner in order for the burner to well lets say burn just to keep it simple enough for you. Your using up 74% of your memory. This is slowing down your data transfer. Is it the problem? WEll its not helping.
3rd nero list the book set to -r it should be set to rom. That should be automatic and why your set to anything else is beyond me. But I'm looking into it.
THertes others but this is already a handful for you so we'll just take care of this first.

I agree that the memory issue needs to be addressed. This is very important.
Another thing:Disc Manufacturer: RITEKF - 1
You need better media.

That answers the why but brangs me to a few more questions though. I know the result of the booktype on read. I've never thought about the results durning a burn.
When a posted this reply this morning I set out to research media addressing. I noticed this burn was coming up short just shy of the most possible addressing. But then I came up with a problem of my own and have been dealing with it every since. I noticed theres no overburn either. The only thing that keeps me hanging on to this thread is they say they have completed burns successfully. Even though I find this sorta hard to swallow with some of the remarks that was made.
I agree memorex is'nt the best choice of media by any means. I dont think this is a media problem unless their using a -r in a +r drive or they have a basement bargin spindle of defected disc.

According to the report on your drive at CDRinfo:
BookType Setting is not supported

By clicking on the word BookType you will get an explantion.
Don't worry about overburn.
99% of all problems are between the computer and the chair.

Rahstyles, I cant help you with your problem, but I think I might be able to make a correction on where your optical drives are located, I also have an HP mediacenter m7330n, if thats what you have the rom is drive F, and the writer is E.
Sorry to hear about this issue of yours, I have had no problems with my HP at all, except the last month I keep getting the blue screen of death as they call it at least every other day, somekind of driver issue I think, but thats another matter, lets stick with yours, I hope your not having this problem because of possible mistakes you might be making and the pc, actually it would be better if that was the case cause the problem can be solves easy that way, I've read some pretty good possible causes and fixes on your issue, hope somebody nails it for you sooner or later, I know about not understandidng much about computers, I'm in those shoes, it is frustrating, keep banging away the guys here on AD are very good in helping, and never forget to use the please and thank you.

Have you done anything about the used memory? Most times when an executable file freezes at start theres a memory issue if its not a damaged or missing dll file. Now that memory could be at the cach, phycial, or page file. What we know is your using up 74% of your memory. Which if I remember right your running with a 1gb. So you have massive amounts of memory useage. you can go to the control panel/performance and maintance/administative tools/event viewer/applications and see if there is a error log on imgburn starting up.Its a long shot but if your setup to log all application error there might be one there.
At this point its a challenge helping you. Not trying to be mean buts its surtain your not aware of what a search engine is for. You step over advice like it was'nt even given. Then you jump to a whole new problem without even fix the first. You know its thanks enough to come back and say something like aight guys I this or that is this right or blah. Just coming right back and with more confusion is'nt helping anything at all. Have we got DMA turned on yet.
Booktype is the lead in bits that tells the reader what type of media it is. Yours is set to DVD-r. Most readers like DVD-rom. Lot of the newer is flexable. If you have a mix of dvd players that your playing your back-ups on DVD-rom booktype is the best bet. My opion here.
Overburn means just that. Media wether its a HDD, SD card, floppy, eeprom, bio, cd, or dvd, cant actual use all of the advertised space. Theres space left for the lead in and out{formating}. If your drive is cablable of overburn it write past the last advaible address and the formating is compressed. Again here its just my ruthers I want overburn cablable because all producers is'nt like Steven Seagal and make 3.5 gig disc. alot of movies gets you right at the edge I like knowing the last few kbs is going to make it if it gets to the edge.
