Maybe you just got a bad drive? See I just made that one up. Do you have another SATA drive to try. What happened to the bummed 7200S? I'd have left it alone till it just died. I know what you're going thru. I had trouble with my new SATA equipped Dell XPS in May. No one could figure out why it wouldn't close a disc in certain -almost all- programs. Dell, Slysoft and AD helpers. After using get arounds ( and GM taunting me to buy ODD-and I got the best :) everything just started to work correctly when it wasn't earlier. Never figured out the conflict cause everything is the same when I had trouble. Hang in there Rob.
Yah... I dont take coincidences lightly! Here is another one of those G04's. Remind me again why I buy verbatim and TY's. Oh Oh, thats right. because ritek/ridata can... ok... I wont say that.

Yeh I don't think it's the SATA cable either, I think its that crap mobo he has... Gigabyte or something like that. :P Just because you don't have a cable go bad doesn't mean someone else hasn't. Oh and btw I've been "folding" my SATA and IDE cables for over 3 years now and NO problems that can be attributed to that aspect of the build. :D
The most important thing that I can think of with cables (SATA and IDE) is to make sure you have a good connection and then don't screw with it. If you clean or replace a part then make sure your connections are tight again. I've only had to deal with that a few times and the cables were the ones that came with the mobo or the ODD/HDD. Sometimes those cables are really cheap from what I've seen. :)

Heres a 12X burn using Nero CDSpeed. Burned from XP OS drive, while it was performing minor task. Dont usually do that, but what the heck. Not bad, Not bad. This drive has seen ALOT of discs as well. I really want another on of these babies. Anybody LIKE/LOVE the DH-20A4P? It seems to have replaced my/the LH-20A1H model (if this is ignorance I apologize). The LH models are EXTREMELY SCARCE!!! You may be lucky to get one on ebay! I hope you guys will tell me when im wrong, or something doesnt quite add up. You know... HEY STUPID!!! :D

am I to understand, Gigabyte has let you down? Uh oh...
I was considering giving them a shot. But why should I, when both my Asus (2001 HP still running), and my MSI havnt let me down yet. Lol, Rather disapointed with an MSI board I bought for somebody elses build though. The vga port was EXTREMELY flimsy. They really should have put something above/below it for stability! Tells me a little something about how much they care. Ive heard VERY good things about ASUS. I have one thats NEVER had a problem in nearly 8yrs. Now THATS qualilty!!!

This is a burn from my Optiarc 7200A. Its ran usb to ide right now. The buffer was acting kinda funny, so I thought I would run a scan. Still looks good. Must admit though. This new batch of verbs is averaging a higher PI e than the last batch. Must have been produced on a friday, LOL. Totally kidding. These are very agreeable scans. Infact, the industry would take this EVERY time!

heres a FREAK iHAP422 burn. Either this disc is a freak that rolled off the line, or my new USB ---> IDE converter is working PERFECTLY. I choose to believe that the converter is VERY nice. The iHAP has NOT produced a burn like this yet. I more than likely will get a couple more of these. For those interested, here is the device im using LINKY Take note that it has not received a bad review yet. I should certainly hope not, AT THAT price! Its one of the most expensive usb ide converters.
EDIT - I was darn near jumping up and down in my seat, Garmoon! It almost had me convinced that I would get a 98 score. Im seeing that as a more than likely capability now. :D

Gee! I would have never guessed that you aren't trying to start something, or you wouldn't be saying that you aren't! That was a cheap shot, and you know it! Had you said it to me in an IM, I would have laughed. Now thanks to your BS, omegaman7 is now confused for what MB to get for his AMD directly because you said that the Gigabyte was crappy! Right now the best value for his buck is the GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-DS4H AM2+. The nVidia chipped boards can't compete in performance or graphics, and it takes Hella voltage just to compete at all, while pushing temps into the 50C range at idle! I know a number of test sites that had to use 1.576v to get to 3.8GHz with the Phenom II, while the DS4H was doing 3.8GHz at 4.40v and below and running temps in the very low 30s! So much for crappy motherboards!
O'man7,
Buy what ever you want but my order goes in to Newegg on the 30th. The lady I sold mine to called, and wants it ready by the 27th! I'm doing an AMD 2.7GHz 7750 AM2+ Black Edition, GigaByte DS4H MB, 4GB 1066 Dominators, Freezer 64 Pro, an AD-7220s optical drive, all in a nice Antec case that comes with a decent PSU, an Earthwatts 430w 80%+ Certified one. Besides I don't have the need for a video card! Only thing I am using that won't be new is the Deskstar 250GB Sata drive. The MB is about as future proof as you can get for an AMD. You can get as many as 4 different platforms from your present CPU, all the waay to the Phenom II AM3. I know I'm going to get 3 out of mine, with the Kuma, Phenom II and Phenom II AM3, unless I win the Lottery! LOL!! For $542.47 Delivered! I know I made all the right choices!
Best Regards,
Russ

well this is my 4th gigabyte board in this system.RMA's the first (ga-p35-ds3r)it had a damaged cpu recepticale.they replaced that,same board got RMA'd again its southbridge(mem controller)went out. then i got the ga-ep35c-ds3r. nothing was wrong with that one, but i did have the same problem with the Samsung SH-S203B drive that i have had now with the GA-EP45-DS3R,and the samsung drive and the 7220S.
so no gigabyte has been well with me.. other than there customer service which was great in helping me out. plus Russ haven given me the name of a couple good people there helped out also.

Rob,
It's the same way with Sony for me. If I buy anything Sony, it dies shortly after the warranty is up! I've never considered the Optiarcs Sonys, and the only thing I own in a Sony that works is my Surround Sound System, and I didn't buy it! I "Aquired" it for an $80 debt! Even Floppy Drives made by Sony don't work right for me! LOL!! I'm just jinxed by sony!
Would I recommend that you buy one after all the problems you've had, No! You are just Snake Bit by them! With Intels there's a lot of good quality motherboards that will do the same job for you. For AMD AM2+, it's a totally different story. I mean for me, if it was a sony, as good as this MB is, I would have to try one!

No offense, my English was not the best. I wasn't accusing you of making up anything I referred to this:
"some peeps at CDF's I have cable problems.." That is why I used "they" instead of you.
My bad, hell you're a good friend, that I would never belittle.

my apologies i didn't really read it that way. i understand what ya mean now.,but in the same note they seem to be right. i swapped out to my last new sata cable and went from the #3 sata slot to the #6 sata slot. everything is fine now. well so far. look at the buffer on this here.
yea ya cant see it. look at the % on it 98-99% ive yet to have it that high for the entire burn.
now here is the scan of that disc. for a ritek F16 this is as good as it gets. and this is burnt at 12x to boot.
gonna do another couple to test with on the crappy media. don't wanna waste any of them precious TY's..lol
Russ
its not that i have had the bad luck with my gigabyte boards, they are the only thing i have ever used.you all know this being my first build. inexperience is the main thing for me. i want to see what other reputable makers have to offer.mostly either DFI,Biostar,Asus.
and i do and have recommended gigabyte boards the ones i have used and a few i have heard you all talk highly about. but when i do my new build if it is the AM3 Phenom II 940 i will go with the same mobo as you have stated, from everything I have read and seen as well it is the best AM3 board out right now.
i don't have customers like a few of you guys are lucky to have to do builds for so all my experience will come from my own personal builds.
EDIT:
here is a burn with my 7200S the buffer didnt stay as high as the 7220S but it is the norm getting that high as the 7220S did is above norm standards(so they say at CDF's) but the overall scan is pretty good once again for the F16 media burnt at 12x.

I apologize to everyone affected by my Gigabyte comment. I will indeed be giving them a shot! I was speeking from my...ok ;)
Heres a TYG03 burn from my iHAP422 via AWESOME usb to ide conversion. Another typical TYG03. I really believe that burners just arnt optimised for them yet.

I think we all handled it pretty well LOCO-it was my stupidity and I take full responsibility. If I remember correctly, you took offense at one of my first posts here, ever, years ago that was an attempt at irony. Everyone was arguing and you gave some sane advice and I said that it was ironic coming from you-meaning a CRAZYeng-another meaning, other than train engineer. LOL Peace my friends.
@rob
At least you got it sorted! You used a different SATA cable connected to same drive and to same slot on motherboard?

Heres a kinda stress test for my second Optiarc. I heard somewhere on the web, that they were good for duplicator towers. I think that thats a safe bet indeed. I ripped 6dvds back to back, then a burn, with no break for the burner. VERY awesome!!! Since ive been thinking about building duplicators for LESS than retail, and selling them, These are the burners I may want to use. Chalk up another AWESOME verbatim burn. I S.T.G. Garmoon. I will get a 98 score yet, LOL :D

yes i used a new sata cable and plugged it into my new 7220S that i was told i had the cable problem with(buffer under run) but i did plug it into a different sata slot on the mobo. sata 05 port on the mobo it was in sata 02 port. Ive only done the 2 burns on it yesterday with the Ritek F16 disc. and it put out some very good scans for that media. i got a couple i need to do today and i will use a TY or 2...
@Omegaman
that last scan looks awesome. but it is rare to get the litey's to scan 98's Ive had a good share of them with my LH-18A1P and a dozen or so with the LH-20A1S so when ya get one with a litey it does make ya feel good about it. id say getting a 99 with the optaric(7200series) is like getting a 98 with the litey kinda hard to do.
EDIT:
here is a 8x-r TY burnt at 12x and scanned at 4x on the 7200S not bad at all... yes smartburn works with this drive let me set overburn with ease.

So you really don't know if the new cable really solves the problem when plugged into the slot on MB that was causing problem? Not trying to stir up anything, I'd just like to know if it was the cable after all?

@RedRob I'd be interested to make sure the cable was the culprit as well. If you could relay the findings that would be great. tia... ;)

It's been cold here so they don't come out of their holes until weather gets warmer. Will post my first crawfish pic when I get some. That shrimp and andouille gumbo was good Sat nite.
