CD burning aggravation, any ideas geeks? Bout to just kill someone.
 

Every time I burn a CD, I get partway thru and it freezes up. Light on the burner stops flashing, and it just sits at whatever % it wants.

Have burned several CD's in the past with success.

Any thoughts?

Also, what programs are you guys using to burn iso image format? I am having this trouble using Nero Express, pretty recent version.

I use Nero (full version, i have one if u need it), Roxio, and discjuggler. Are you running other programs while burning? if so you might be runnin outta memory and using too much of yer CPU

I use the burning program that came with my burner. Any nero software should work fine though. Have you tried re-installing the software?

Ever since my last "Windows upgrade" my burner has been acting up on me. It really pisses me of sometimes. I can't burn alot of songs I have burned in the past and I can't burn playlists anymore. I have to transfer each individual song into the burn thing, and even then most of the time it fucks up. :-\ It used to work flawlessly. :( Some of my songs don't have a "length" on them so it gets all confused when I try to burn one of thsoe and says "will not fit" and nothing happens. ::)

Doc boost, you didnt install SP2 by chance did you?

Try reinstalling the software. Also, don't do anything while it is copying, my grandfathers computer just went ---- one day and stopped wanting to burn CD's unless you were doing absolutely nothing at all :-\

its either your program settings, your firmware for the drive, your settings on the drive(master, slave), or your drive is just fucked. my homeboy had both of his cd/dvd drives jumpers set to master. i dont know how, but both drives actually worked? anyway, when he asked me to look at why he keeps making coasters/frisbees, it turned out to be the jumpers. make sure you set one to master, one to slave, and put the ide cable on correctly. i doubt the firmware is an issue, since you have already made successful burns. you can check for a firmware flash from the manufacturer if you want though. maybe uninstall/reinstall the program, or try another? just tossing out suggestions.

anyways i use nero in windows and k3b in linux/unix.

I don't have a ------- clue what SP2 is, but I dunno?

I don't do ---- when it's burning(or trying to). I always just let it sit and do it's thing. :-\
