I am new here. Recently, I have
some problems of my Toshiba
5205-S703 DVD-RW drive(I think
it is Toshiba model SD-6012).
I used google and found one
article here

I hope I can get some help here.
I purchased this Toshiba 5205-s703
for more that half a year.
I did use the DVD-RW writor after I
got it(in the second month).
Totally, I have burned about
10 Fujifilm DVD-Rs(one box) from
Best buy. They were all OK.
None of them have any problems.
Some of them I even burned to full
4.3G. However, most of them
were backup files (zip, less than
10 files per DVD-R).
Several month later, I purchased a new
box of the same brand Fujifilm from Best
Buy. From the first DVD-R, I got problem.
The burning process has no error.
But when I try to copy those files
(mp3, rm, avi) back to HD,
I got CRC error. For 40 files, sometimes
it begins to fail from the sixth,
some times it begin to fail from the 20th.
Different DVD-ROM drive from other people's
laptop or desktop will fail
at different place.
I updated Nero to 5.5.10.50. I have
tried to use UDF/ISO mode as
some web page suggest. I have
tried 1x although previously I have
used 2x without problems. I have
tried Optimum DVD-R. I have used
those CD/DVD cleaner to clean
the DVD drive. None of them
solve the problem. Of course,
I have wasted about 6 pieces
of DVD-R. :(
I want to know what kind of test
I should do before I return the
machine to Toshiba to repair?
I have installed many softwares
after successfully burning the
first box of DVD-R. I am wondering
whether some of those software
may alter the configuration of
the machine and lead to these
CRC erros. During the period
of time when I did not burn
any DVD-R, I did watch many
DVD movies. I am wondering
whether this will damage the
DVD-RW drive.
I just hate to backup everything
and return the machine to Toshiba.
I really wish it is software problem instead of hardware problem. How do
I know whether it is software problem,
media problem or hardware problem.
Any help or suggestion will be great
appreciated.
your problem sounds bad but i have had this sort of thing when i transferred files and folders from one hard drive to another! have you done this?
also i think it was how i burnt them meaning that the ISO9660/JOLIET standard was part the problem! as in i had long file names !!!!
the long file names after didnt show up in nero to burn again after transfer! but data files were fine and i could click the image but the title file name didnt show? and i think burnt ok as i have used them since?! it was game backups that CRC errored after transfer from one HD to another?
My CRC problem occured when I try to
copy those files from the DVD-R back
to HD. I always copy all the files
back to HD to make sure that they
have been burned correctly.
I did doubt about the long file name.
Because when I burned the first box
of Fujifilm DVD-R. Most of them have
very few files and most of files have
short file name.
However, what puzzled me is that
I have 40 files all with long filenames,
why only start with certain file?
For example, sometimes the 6th, sometimes
the 20th. If it is the ISO/JOLIET problem,
it should have problem with the first one.
However, maybe I should just compress
those MP3/AVI/RM into big zip file with
8+3 filename. I have not tried that.
Do you think I should disable the Joliet?
