Hi all.

I am a newbie as well and have some great difficulty buring a .cue file with Nero Express onto a DVD. I get an error message:
"Compilation cannot be written on that medium type.
(Medium in drive: DVD-R. Medium required by compilation: CD-R/RW.)"

But I want to burn it onto a DVD-R, not a CD-R/RW...

What could it be? I will post my log down below. I updated the DVD firmware today, so that shouldn't be it.

Any suggestions are welcomed!

Because the image was made for a cd it will want a cd to burn. You can use isobuster to extract the files inside the image to the hard drive then burn it however you want.

As a side note, the hard drive and the burner have DMA turned off.

Your version of Nero is behind:
Quote:
Nero version: 6.6.0.5
it is up to 6.6.0.18.

and i think this driver causes problems for Nero, but i don't ever remember seeing a fix for it. Creaky has seen more than one log with this type of driver, so maybe he knows if it is a problem, and how to fix it.
also your firmware is one version behind:
Quote:
Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B>Version: A105
Get the update here:

Looks like you need A106.

Hey Guys,

thanks for the advice. I tried updating the firmware, but it "failed". Tried a couple of times, but got the same error message over and over again. (the www.lge.com website doesn't have the newest firmware on their site yet either).

anyway, when it comes to DMA enabling I have quite a different set up in "systems". if I click on the ata/atapi controls all I see are 3 or 4 NVIDIA xxx where everything is set to automatic. If I choose to switch them manually, it shows me a list of possibilities - going from "ultra dma" to DMA1, DMA2, word-dma 1, word-dma2, and PIO... not sure what to do as I don't get the same screens as the ones you posted for the DMA controls. all screens/windows look different than the one on the "how to switch DMA settings" form. :-(

any other help?

thanks again though.

neolly,
Your firmware was only 1 vers behind, so it should have taken the new one. If firmware gets too far behind, many times you cant go to the latest version, but have to work your way up to it. What was the error message you got?
Your drives should be DMA on. You don't want to see any in PIO mode. That is the slowest mode. DMA uses your ram and PIO uses the CPU.
You can check your DMAs with nero info tool. It should show DMA on for each drive:
this tab shows your DMAs

Usually to get DMA back, you un-install the driver, and reboot. Windows automatically loads the driver on bootup.
Here is how Nero says to do it:
Quote:
DMA settings - You may have DMA disabled for your CD-/DVD-ROM and recorder devices. You should enable this feature. If you have old drivers (even if you have the latest in some cases), DMA may not be properly supported, even though you can enable it. You should try with DMA disabled if you still have problems having enabled it.
Enable or disable DMA:
To enable DMA in Windows 2000/XP, simply go to your 'Control Panel --> Systems --> Hardware --> Device Manager'. Double click on the 'IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers'. Right click on the 'Primary IDE Channel', go to 'Properties --> Advanced Settings' and change ´Transfer Mode´ to 'DMA if available'. Do the same for the secondary IDE channel.
For Windows 9x and ME, go to your 'Control Panel --> System --> Device Manager --> CD-ROM' and under the devices 'Properties --> Settings' enable or disable DMA.

I see what you mean. Doesn't look a thing like what we posted. Let me see if i can get creaky involved. He has seen these nvida controllers. I will pm him with a link to this thread, and maybe he can help.

kurtp21 found the fix; i think this was for 'nvidesm' drivers but as far as i remember it's the same difference, ie get rid of the nvidia IDE controllers and install standard microsoft drivers
