I have 2 DVD/CD burners, The one I had before I forgot what it was ( I still have it just a tad lazy when it comes to looking at the model ) So.. It stopped working.. like.. not completely.. I can't burn DVDs with it.. I bought it about 6 months ago from newegg, and have only used it about 6 times to copy my PS2 backups.. and after not using it for many months it just stopped working.. I can play CDs and DVDs on it..as well as burn Cds but not DVD .. when I try to burn a DVD it makes a high clicking noise (three clicks) and pauses..then repeats.. Nero does not give me an error and it says at 1% for 10 minutes before I crash Nero and to make the clicking stop I have to eject the dvd..
Now! I bought another burner .. IT also burns CDs .. but when I try to burn a DVD it will make a low humming noise for a moment and then Nero gives me an error like Media changed or "NOT READY TO READY CHANGE, MEDIUM MAY HAVE CHANGED (062800)" .. I have never burnt DVDs with this rom as I bought it from newegg a week ago.. Any suggestions?
If you look in the title it has one of them.
Lite-ON LH-18A1P
and AOpen DUW1616L
The problem is NOT that they are not recognized! The problem is that neither of them would burn DVDs.. I found out if I unplug the ribbon from one of them and just hook up one of the recorders then one will work.
I'll try re-explaining the situation.
I have 2 DVD/CD Burners. the AOpen DUW1616L I have only had for six months. Prior to the problems I've been having I have maybe used this thing 6 times at the most and then did not use it again for 6 months. A few days ago I tried to use it to burn a DVD using Nero. When I did this Nero kept running yet the DVD burner started clicking.. It would click three times..Pause and Click some more.. Nero would keep counting down the time and stay at 1%.. when it got to 0:00 it still sat there for about 10minutes until I had to crash Nero because it wouldnt stop when I tried to make it stop. Once Nero was crashed the clicking did not stop on the burner so I had to eject it for it to stop.
Now, since having this problem I immediately went and bought another DVD/CD burner, the Lite-ON LH-18A1P, I unplugged the old burner and hooked this one up. This one would not burn DVDs either. Except this time the burner would make a very deep/low humming noise and then give me an error saying "Error! NOT READY TO READY CHANGE, MEDIUM MAY HAVE CHANGED (062800)". So, I unhooked my other CD-Rom (because I had my CD-Rom hooked up as well as this burner) and hooked the burner up by itself. Now it works, but it had burned the DVDs wrong a few times now.. Like if I tell Nero to validate the DVD it will tell me that certain sectors did not match.
I believe this was detailed enough this time.. if You need any more info.. I'm open for it :)
I knew the master/slave thing :P They're both set for that, I checked twice ..that would have been an embarrassing mistake :D .. Thanks for the help .. I will try this..
Btw -- didn't see that last part.. I'm using Verbatim DVD-R
