My CDRW won't read some CD's


Recommended Posts

I'm running Win XP Pro, with Ahead Nero 5.5.10.56 together with an Acer 24x10x40 CDRW, installed as the master on the secondary drive. I have an LG DVD-ROM DRD-840B installed as the slave on that drive. I can read all the CD's with the DVD player but not on the CDRW. I can't copy from the DVD to the CDRW. I've tried running the CD drive tool on the CDRW and get a logical block address out of range (052100) message. For other CD's I get Illegal Mode for this track (056400). I've tried swapping the slave/,aster with no success. Removing the DVD player makes no difference. DMA is enabled for Both drives. I've removed and re-installed the nero software together with the nero clean up tool. Using disk and drive cleaners had no affect. Any suggestions?

No but I'll give it a go.

Edit, thinking about the things I tried, when I swaooed the master and slave jumpers I also swapped the drives into the opposite drive bays. As a consequence I also swapped thier position on the drive cable. The problem physically moved with the drives. I might also add that my No.1 son-in-law can read these disks with no problem.

Doug, I don't know if this may help, but I had a similar issue with some Mitsumi drives at work a few months ago. Quite by accident, it was discovered that they worked perfectly whith a slightly older version of Nero.

I am not at work at the moment, so I cannot check the exact version. If you are unable to find a download for a previous version, let me know and I will sort out one for you. (I have several versions at work, so can upload to my webspace and give you a link).

One other possibility is to see if LG have an updated firmware for the drive.

Regards. Mr. M.
