Dodle Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 My father-in-law's dvd/cd burner has quit burning. As far as I know it still reads cds and dvds, but when trying to burn it always exit with an error. I've tried using a firmware update from HP's website, but it doesn't work. The only one that is available is is for the dvd840i model, which is supposed to work for the other models. This one only says dvd840 on the front, but in the hardware profile it says dvd840x. My last resort will be to do a fresh Windows install, but I wanted to see if anybody had any suggestions before I did that.I've tried different burning software: Windows Media Player, Windows' burning wizard, some freeware software, and Nero.Here is the log from Nero:Windows XP 5.1IA32WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0002), size=45056 bytes, created 7/17/2002 10:03:20 AM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 9:35:32 AM Nero Version: 6.6.0.16Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 16b (Nero Express)Recorder: <HP DVD Writer 840x> Version: S632 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <HP DVD Writer 840x >Version: S632 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1=== Scsi-Device-Map ===DiskPeripheral : WDC WD2500LB-55EDA0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HP DVD Writer 840x atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map ===HP DVD Writer 840x D: CDRom0=======================AutoRun : 1Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) ByteShowDrvBufStat : 0BUFE : 0Physical memory : 511MB (523504kB)Free physical memory: 38MB (39864kB)Memory in use : 92 %Uncached PFiles: 0x0Use Inquiry : 1Global Bus Type: default (0)Check supported media : Disabled (0) 29.4.2009Audio CD9:23:33 PM #1 CDADOC -1 File Cdadoc.cpp, Line 1465 Audio item log info: Audio document burn settings: ============================= Burn mode: DAO, CD Text: On, Cache disk or network files: No, Cache small files: No, Cache files smaller than 65536 bytes.

-pops- Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 If the burner is consistently failing (i.e. most/all disks failing) then a tracking error (as in the Nero report) probably indicates a fault in the mechanism in the DVD writer.New DVD writers are not expensive.

Dodle Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Thanks, I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. But, you are right, they are not expensive. My in-laws have to worst luck with computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
