I've been using my Sony DW22A DL burner (external) at school on a new (purchased last month) HP to back-up various materials, movies, etc. using decrypter and shrink with no problems...not one coaster using Verbatim media.
I took the burner home and hooked it up tp my HP Pavillion zv5000 (purchased this fall) and have gotten nothing BUT coasters with the Verbatim media.
When I am burning at homethe buffer (both system and device) jump around a lot. In decrypter I keep getting the error saying "Unable to write to address. Address Invalid." Sometimes it gets halfway through the burn and comes up with this. Sometimes it happens at 50%. There seems to be no problem ripping, just writing.
My Primary IDE is DMA Ultra DMA 5
My secondary is DMA Word Mode DMA 2
USB device says that the device is working properly.
I am at a loss...any ideas? Anyone? I posted in the Newbie section lastweek with no help at all. I was hoping someone here could shed some light.
here is an error log from decrypter:

Back to square one...Backed up two movies after making adjustments and now I'm back to where I started...three more coasters this morning after following the exact same procedures fom before. The only difference was I used Shrink to grab movie only and back up to hd. Tried to burn w/ decrypter and got the same log as I posted before. Any new ideas?
Decrypter is set on MAX...the same setting I used at school. The error log is the exact same as I posted already...the exact same. I don't know what to think. I will definately be getting some RW's. Thanks.
