Hi,

My Plextor has been great so far for over a year and I have burnt over 200 DVDs using it, but now it seems to be funny. I was backing up data for a clean install and it wouldn't burn more than 100mb on a CD. I ended up burning the data onto DVD's instead. On my old install the DVD burner was prone to go into PIO mode but I could get it out using the registry.

Now that I have done the clean install I am having the same problems. I cannot burn CDs larger than 100mb with the built in CD burner in XPPro w/SP2. I can however burn CD with less than 100mb fine. What is worse I cannot transfer the data off of my DVDs I burnt on the old system onto my hard drive. I keep gettting an I/O error.

I have checked the DMA status and it is in DMA mode.

I have updated to the latest firmware.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled.

I am using WinXPpro SP2.

I am using 3 different media, Verbatim, RiData, and generics.

I have run the diagnostic on the drive and it passed just fine.

I keep getting a buffer underrun code 030C09 when I try to burn CDs. Does anyone know what this is?

I am going slowly crazy with this.

All help appreciated.

Cheers, Mark

I have used nothing but Plextor drives since the beginning of time. They USED to be the Cadillac of burners, but my Plextor 716a died 15 months after I got it. First, it would not burn to Ridata +R DVD's, but it would burn to Verbatim +R. Then, it decided not to burn to any DVD, + or -.

Your Plextor is dead. Take the plunge, and get a BenQ. Even if it dies after 15 months, it is 1/3 the price, and it burns like nobody's business, no matter what you throw at it.
