cd writer does not recognize blank cd

  • Thread starter Thread starter Guest
  • Start date Start date
After the SP2 upgrade, I needed to update my version of Nero and the firmware
for my drive in order to burn CD/DVD's again..
I also uninstalled other burning apps that I had forgotten I had installed,
along with a repair install of XP, all is well now..
I hope this app doesn't confuse you or create more problems, it might help
too..

Those extra divers in driver details are probably from other burning apps
that you may have installed and failed to remove properly in add remove
programs, they are just not letting go, so to speak.. If the four driver
files I mentioned are in driver details and you are receiving error 39 use
the Doug Knox fix or try the original cdgone.reg fix and see if they help..
You should reinstall only one burning app and make sure it is updated or
supported, you may need to upgrade to a newer version or change burning apps
completely.. I use Nero 5.5.10.56 and it adds extra drivers to driver
details, they are InCDPass.sys and incdrm.sys..That's the only burning app I
use or need for CD's or DVD's..
The Nero site for their free trial version seems to be down for some reason,
they say to check back later..?

:

i renamed those drivers....restarted my pc.......now im just able to c those
devices in device manager with Yellow Asertic.....from explorer they r missing
By devices i mean my dvd drive & the problem drive
In those devices properties im seeing following message
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be
corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
So wat u suggest no........i know thats wat not u suggested.....but i tried
now im seeing just those 4 files in driver details
i Can rename them again......but waiting for ur suggestion
but im gonna rename them in the mean time.....lolz


:

The drivers are cdrom.sys, imapi.sys, redbook.sys, these should be in the
c:\windows\system32\drivers\..folder/dir, with the storprop.dll file located
in c:\windows\system32\..folder/dir.. Those four files are in the drives
properties, under driver details, this is strait from my device
manager...Hopefully these files are still on your HD and you can reinstall
the drive...

Hey jaymon
I'll uninstall that ASPI by simply Deleating those files.....but theres not
any driver to rollback as said in those links
So for now just looking for that IMAPI thing
thx

Use the Infotool to verify the media your drive can use, firmware version,
use it to create a report that can be cut and pasted to a post, use the ASPI
tab to verify that ASPI is "NOT" installed on your system, yellow bar at
bottom is normal for an IMAPI system..
That is what I see on my system and both my optical drives are working
great, burning CD's, DVD's, etc..

Hey Jaymon,
That link is same for the firmware
How to roll back to the IMAPI
& I installed that Nero tool ......wat i've to detect with that tool

Looks like you have installed SCSI drivers ie.. ASPI , you need to roll back
to the IMAPI drivers included in XP.

:

Snap,
You say your firmware was good, does that mean you have the latest update,
if there is one..?
What burning app are you using..? What is your optical drives make and model
#..?
Where did you get the ASPI detection tool from..?
j;-j

Hey jaymon those links 're good but didnt help.....but i surfed the web &
found two things
1) Firmware detection tool.......with that i found my firmware was good
2)ASPI detection tool.....guess wat my ASPI was missing.....reinstalled it

:

i've problem with my sony cd writer.....it does not recognize blank
cd.....its just assuming it full..... i've tried two different brands.....but
still having problem......if i try to burn music files with windows media
player...it says "will not fit" after each track.....& with other cd burning
softwares it just fails..........heres wat i did
I tried to enable this device with services.msc /s....but nothing
happens.....i did uninstall & reinstall with reboot.......any help should be
highly appriciated
 
Sure, if you feel a need to, just save the report as a txt file, open it, cut
& paste the important stuff about the drive etc.. to your post.. The OS is
seeing the CD-R as blank, Nero sees it as ready to burn with the amount of
time you mention, basically it's for an 80 min disk..

Ok, the first thing I noticed is your mobos BIOS is ver 3.16 and there seems
to be an update on the HP site that would update it to ver 3.28.. This leads
me to believe that you may have overlooked keeping your system updated in
other if not all areas..?

I noticed a critical update that might apply to the trouble you are having
with the CD burner, see the link below..
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...374776&os=228&lang=en&cc=us&docname=c00047357

Also, see this link for apps & programs that could be affected after SP2 is
installed..
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...roduct=374776&lang=en&cc=us&docname=c00218731

Look here too..
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;886264

Things you might try, set the CD burner as master and the DVD-ROM player as
slave and see if that can help.. Make sure you set the jumpers on the drives
accordingly.. Try a different media brand if necessary..

My info for my recorder..
This is missing from your post..
Region Protection Control : RPC II
Region : 1
Changes User : 4
Changes Vendor : 4

My Memorex CD-R shows up as..
Disc Information (G:\)
-------------------
Type : Blank CD-R
CD-R(W) Info : CMC Magnetics, CD-R, 79:59.71


Make sure that XP sees the CD-RW recorder in the registry..
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316529

If your region code has been changed more than the alloted amount for your
drive and is stuck in a code area that is not for your location, or the disks
from your location, then you could have problems or need to even replace the
drive..

Food for thought..
Hope this can help, Snap..

Hey jaymon
thx for all that stuff
heres wat i missed in my previous post
Region Protection Control : RPC II
Region : 1
Changes User : 4
Changes Vendor : 4
So i guess my region control is okay
But lemme try ALL the other helping stuff
 
hey jaymon
i tried everthing
Before my jumper setting was like this when i was able to burn CDs
Master dvd drive:- CS SL MA ( 1 indicates the jumper here)
1

Slave CD-RW:- CS SL MA
1
now i reconfigured
Master CD-RW:- CS SL MA
1
Slave Dvd Drive:- CS SL MA
1
So u think this configuration is okay
But im still having same problem !!!!!!!!!!!
 
Snap,
Well, if all your drives were originally set to CS on the Primary &
secondary IDE channels, this includes HD's too you know, that should have
been fine too..

I assume you are talking about the secondary IDE channel for both DVD/CD
drives, right..?

Yes, the jumpers look ok, if you have both drives connected to the secondary
IDE cable..

The master (cd-rw) should be connected to the first connector on the flat
40/80 pin data cable and the (dvd) slave to the second position, the third is
the connection at the mobo.. If your HD is set to CS you may want to make it
a master on the first connector on the primary IDE data cable leaving the
second position free for another HD, you only have one HD, right..?

Well, Snap you may need to review the posts & links to see if you have
missed anything that you didn't try or tell me what you did or didn't try..?
I will try and review also..
j;-j
 
Jaymon one more thing.....i tried music cd runs good

i tried data cd(game cd) runs good

I Tried Photo cd which i just burned yesterday on my friends PC

Problem drive Thinks its EMPTY.....i dont know maybe its related or no

DVD drive just catches it in a second
 
Another thing you might try Snap, is to install the drive in your Friends
computer to test burning a CD with his software.. What burning app did you
use on your Friends machine..? If you can't burn a disk there, with your
drive, then the drive may be defective and a replacement needed.. Another
option if the drive won't burn on your Friends computer would be to try and
find another firmware update that would return the drive to the previous
version or better..

It seems the firmware you used may have had a double option for installing
the update to either 5.0F or 6.1L.. Did you decide on 5.0F or did you not
notice the other update..? What was your reasoning at that point, not to use
the 6.0L version of the update, for what reason..?

Also, and please answer this question for me, what burning app did HP
originally supply with the computer? Did you ever update your original
burning software from the HP site..? The reason I ask is perhaps with the
original updated burning app and the 6.1L firmware update installed and the
freebie burning app removed, could be another viable option to try..If all
else fails..
j;-j
 
Hey jaymon
i followed that link......dma configuration is set to "ultra DMA mode 2"
HP provided me sonic recordnow!
i updated that software from HP site
Abt firmware version......i didnt decide to install v 5.0f instead of 6.1L
or 6.0Lwatever is it
Actually there r both of 'em avalible......but it says like for hardware
type 0 its 5.0f & for hardware type 1 its 6.1L
i follwed steps....booted from that floopy & its telling me u 've the latest
firmware......so c its not my choice afterall.....lolz

im gonna remove my Drive today......but i cant chk it until tomarrow.....but
im gonna try it today.....lets c
i'll update u with that report
 
Snap,
Ok, good.. Yeah you did good, with the firmware update then.. Some drives
can be re flashed back and forth, some can't.. I really didn't see any other
firmware to download, one person had 6.1G originally and had good results
with 6.1L, though they knew what their version was to start with, unlike some
people, right Snap..;)

The site you linked me to where you got yours mentions 6.1M,- 5.0F seems to
be included with all three versions for hardware version 01, with the 5.0F
for hardware version 00..

Did you ever look in the registry to see if the drive was being recognized
as a CD-R recorder (1), CD-RW recorder (2), CD/DVD-ROM drive (3)..
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;316529
I can't remember if you did or didn't respond or what you found..?

For my two optical drives, the DVD/CD combo drive the # in the value data
box is (1).. For my DVD-ROM drive the # in the value data box is (3)..

Yeah, I would use only the Recordnow app if it's ver 6 or better..
j;-j
 
jaymon Value for problem drive in registry is set to 2
i had recordnow! 7. something

burning issue comes afterwards....but y its not able to recognize blank
disks......if it reads music & data cd well?????? stuck on this question
 
Try setting to 1, any change..? You do know how to use the recordnow app,
right..? What type disks are you using CD-R, CD-RW..? After you close the
error pop up window you should be able to burn a disk.. Make sure the
software is set for CD mode not DVD mode.. Make sure you read the
instructions completely..
What burning software did you use at your friends house..?
