Problem: I cannot write disk images ( .bin / .cue , .iso , etc. ) to CD anymore using my Plextor 16/10/40A CD-RW. About 5%-8% into writing ANY disk image to CD , the writing process ceases and sometimes the computer locks up shortly after this. At this time, the Plextor drive appears to be spinning continuous until I reboot. At the time the writing ceases, the Nero Burning Rom software log monitor reads : SCSE/IDE command aborted .
I have tried this using other software too like CDRWIN 3.9c . CDRWIN reports this error message :
CDRWIN also generates
this log file.
I am running Windows XP Professional on an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard with all the latest drivers and motherboard BIOS.
I have tried switching the Plextor drive from Slave to Master and the result is the same.
Note that writing an Audio CD or a plain Data File CD works absolutely fine , no problems whatsoever.
Also note that when I simulate the writing of a disk image , it completes sucessfully.
UPDATE 2003.04.25: Problem solved. I used different drivers for my motherboard. Previously I had been using version 2.03 drivers provided on the motherboard's chipset maker's website ( NViDIA ). So I tried instead to use drivers supplied by the motherboard's physical manufacturer ( ASUS ) instead. That did the trick. Thanks for the sugguestions anyway
