I have the LG "HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H55N" burner, it has been working fine with NERO7 for ages. I installed a new master hard drive at the weekend and now the little bugger will only burn DVDs and not CDRs. I did have this problem for about a month before my new drives and was unable to fix it then too. It's odd, it will burn the DVD just fine, but not CDRs. I;ve tired 3 different brands of media too, same batch which worked before hand. My computer is fast enough so there is no worries there. Is there a known problem or fix for this? Thanks for your help.

update your firmware its way behind to see new type discs!
yours v1.00 and the new is v1.05
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2396
-------------
did you mean to do a multissesion cdr and not finalize it?
-------------
DMA is on in first nerolog
CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H55N atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On
and OFF in second log
CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H55N atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: Off
DiskPeripheral : WDC WD1500ADFD-00NLR5 atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On
DiskPeripheral : ST3500320AS atapi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: On
restore DMA as after consecutive errors PIO mode gets used
Nothing here to see, move along folks.

ok will download the firmware this evening when i get home from work. just reading the page, is it straight forward as from the warnings it seems a little tricky.
nope it should not have been a multi and it should be finalised. that was set in the settings before i told it to burn.
DMA, ok thanks, will do that when i get home this evening. (a bit stupid, but where do i change it? thanks)
thanks for your help

Write : TRUE

Multisession : TRUE
Multisession type: : Start multisession
firmware is done at own risk, but we all do it, i done all 4 drives of mine with 2x hacked firmware... follow instruction to a T !
DMA go to device manager/hardware and uninstall ide controllers and reboot pc!

Hmmmm not sure how to enable DNA mode. i went to device manager and uninstalled the DVD/CD disk drive and restarted pc. I just tried to do another CD with no joy, here is the new error log. It still says DMA is off! I will do the Firmware update tomorrow morning as i have to move cables etc.

Hello Simon,
Rotary suggested uninstalling the IDE Controllers, and from what you said you uninstalled the drive itself. You want to look in Device Manager for IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.
Here's an excellent thread for DMA problems (thank you to ZoSoIV for the link) It has all the instructions for deleting the drivers.

Apart from your DMA being off, the CDs you are using are NOT good quality so I would recommend buying new ones, Verbatim or Sony (made in Japan)...your DVD's are top quality.
In your first 2 logs you will notice that the burns on the Yudens were successful whereas the
Quote:
CDR code: 00 97 17 06; OSJ entry from: Moser Baer India Limited
FAILED
Turn your DMA on(link provided) and change your discs.

Ok, I've updated the firmware to 1.05. I've uninstalled the all the IDE drives and made sure the DMA is enabled like the excellent step by step guide said. Everything is done, BUT its still FUBAR'd. Think its time to admit defeat and go buy a new drive. This one is only a year old too I think. Thanks for all your help. PS, which drive do you recomend!

Hi. I tried 2 different brands, one of them Sony.
not sure about the memory thing, no idea what that means. i've got about 3gigs in the machine though.
not done the ASPI thing, will have to try that next i guess. thats just a driver?
incd, hmm i've got most of neros features installed.

to be honest i would try nero v8 and use nero clean tool to get rid first
your nero only sees 2 gig memory

when you installed your new HD did you set all master / slave jumpers?

ok will see if i did install it and take it out. Its odd that its suddenly stoped working though.
"when you installed your new HD did you set all master / slave jumpers?" hmm well i put in 2 new SATA drives and a fresh install of XP after wipping the MB bios. Althoguh the problem started befpre this fresh install. It was happening on and off for a bit, very tempermental, now its just stopped. perhaps the machine is buggered? Thanks

oh well i just flushed it? took the battery out, moved the jumpers etc. So then everything was clean with the new SATA drives instead of the old IDE ones.
as for pic you attached, its slightly different on my PC, plus as im at work and wont be home again till Sat morning, i wont be able to do any more on it :o( think i will just buy a new drive for £50

Rotary has some excellent suggestions. I second him on checking your BIOS; I just installed a new DVD burner and ROM and although everything looked good in device manager, my slave was set to "off". Couldn't burn anything; although odd you can burn DVDs.
As for burners, I'm very happy with my Lite-On (not SATA though). Here's one place you can check for reviews:

i could try a nero re-install, but dont think its going to make much of a change as i only installed it last weekend on the new HD, before this it wsa still playing up, so its had one fresh install already and i even updated it to see if it makes any difference. will check the bios thingy later at the weekend when home. thanks again
