Please help! Image burning problem :(
Ok, I have a Liteon 24x burner, and a Pioneer DVD drive on the same IDE channel. I can copy files from cd's manually with windows explorer, but no matter what program I use, on either drive, It will not read to an image file, it stays stuck at 0%. I really need help, burning through explorer is slow, and a pain. Any ideas?

Hello Bionic_Tuna,
First thing, wot software have u tried? Nero, CloneCD, or Easy Cd Creator etc. Secondly, your burner is burnproof. Why not burn "on the fly". If u burn to an image first, it will take twice as long at least. Putting your 24x burn-proof drive to waste. Even though they r on the same ide channel, with a burn-proof drive it shouldn't be a problem. U may get a warning message, just ignore it. Also, wot r u trying to copy? If u can answer these questions we might be able to help further. Regards, Einstein

Tried Nero, CloneCD, RAW Copy, and DiscJuggler.
I am not burning on the fly because I keep the images on my drive. To make another copy if needed. I was trying to copy a data cd's full of drivers/patches, to make copies of for a LAN party. I also tried a game to see if it was the cd. It wasn't... any more ideas?

Hmmm. ok. Is the cd full up. If not, write a couple more files to it & CLOSE/FINALIZE the cd. Don't leave it open.
This may not work, but worth a try (if u have not done this already). Maybe someone else out there has some ideas in meantime. Regards Einstein

Tried that.
Tried disabling the other drive. Tried unplugging the other drive so one had it's own channel. Tried disabling DMA mode and doing PIO. no luck.

Ok, this may sound strange, but try deleting all the files from the WINDOWS\TEMP directory & try again.
This is usually the default directory for cd images in most burning software. These files are not generally needed. Alot of stuff gets dumped in WINDOWS\TEMP. Virtually ALL installations use it to dump extracted files there before installing a game or some other piece of software. It could be you have reached the maximum number of files in that directory. (Some versions of windows have a limit). Either that or try changing the destination directory for the image dump. Also, wot operating system are you running (Win98 etc). You can also try updating the BUS drivers for your motherboard. Regards, Einstein

Ok, I'll rack my brains some more.
Try manufacturer's website of the writer, or software vendor of burning program. Might need a patch for XP. Most things do @ present. Failing that, if it is a LAN party, then just leave cd in drive or copy all to a directory on pc, & let all have access to it via the network.

Firmware is latest.
Found an XP update for Nero, installed it, but it still does the same thing.

You could try stopping all other background tasks running. Alot of programs run in background upon bootup. Maybe something there is causing a problem.
If you run Msconfig, go to startup tab & untick everything except for Explorer, this may help. I think Msconfig is still available under XP. I can't remember. Other than that, this may sound a bit harsh mate, but you might have to try a clean format & reinstall of Windows. Sounds like something has got really screwed there. Maybe someone else has some fresh ideas?

Ok. Seeing as the same thing is happening in all the software you have tried, & all your drivers etc seem up to date, it is pointing to one thing.
THE CD ITSELF!! Try cleaning the cd. Maybe there is a heavy fingerprint or a scratch at begining of cd that the drive can't cope with. Also, wot did u use to burn the cd full of drivers/patches with originally? Can u burn to image on a friends pc? Regards, Einstein
