jraju · « **on:** March 13, 2016, 05:41:46 am »

Hi, recently i have changed the laptop dvd driver and it is optiarc dvd and it was working , with opening and closing. there was no sound problem, which was the reason for the change of dvd.
But now when i try to burn the iso, both by nero and imgburn, i get verified error on both. while imgburn classified it as layouts do not match error. nero says it as verified failed error. i do not know, why.
when i try to download microsoft fixit and run it, it also reported error that it could not and say error code , says date synchronizing error with international time.i do not know. when i did select update time, it says it could not due to some error.
I am enclosing the nerolog with a registry key security at the last line

I don't have that registry key in my WinLogon but from a Google, 0 is the default setting.

Have a read through this article to see if it will resolve the time sync. problem.

Hi, Good tip, yesterday , i tried to update before getting your link. i got an error in xp machine. i will try to do that in xp also.
But what that has got to do with dvd cd writing, boggins. please . What is that pool.ntp.org. It changed in a fraction of seconds. ple

Boggin · « **Reply #3 on:** March 14, 2016, 10:16:47 am »

I was puzzled by that error message as well, but if MS says something then I try to see if their suggestion does the job - so does your CD/DVD drive work now with either Nero or ImgBurn ?

This is what I've found for pool.ntp.org http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/

Hi, Ok . boggins.
Ofcourse, while checking international time, it was 2 days back. How, come that it is not synchronized as per the settings.
If the application date is different, would not it allow half of the aspects of the application. Definitely , i will try to do that in xp machine.
i did have the registry key, but i do not know what to do in that entries.

I think Windows only syncs once a week, but it should have remained so unless something else is going on.

Hi, i tried after changing the internet time, The windows configured the time correctly. ?the same error persissts. i will enclose the imgburnlog file

jraju · « **Reply #7 on:** March 15, 2016, 10:05:34 pm »

Boggin · « **Reply #8 on:** March 16, 2016, 02:24:36 am »

Can you give me a download link for the file you are trying to burn and I'll give it a go with the ImgBurn I have installed.

jraju · « **Reply #9 on:** March 16, 2016, 03:06:17 am »

Hi, It is an iso file. i tried to burn seagate dos tool from this link. I downloaded the file and tried to burn to my cd rw. I do not want cd r, because it could be used only once.
the link is here

What size of disc are you using - I use a 4GB -R DVD and the ISO is showing as 8,660KBs in my Win 7 Downloads folder.

Is the ISO file the same size for you ?

jraju · « **Reply #11 on:** March 16, 2016, 03:46:43 am »

Hi, Boggins,
cdrw normal 700 mb disc. The ISO is a small file , so , i selected this disc to burn the image in windows xp.

Boggin · « **Reply #12 on:** March 16, 2016, 04:05:27 am »

Well, as it only shows as 8.45MB on the disk I've just burned, that would seem to be big enough.

Can XP burn DVDs now or is it still restricted to CDs ?

Are you still getting the time sync. error ?

Is this the MS Fixit that you ran https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/en-us

jraju · « **Reply #13 on:** March 16, 2016, 04:07:45 am »

Hi, Boggin,
I tried the same in win 7 and the process is successful. So , there is no issue in the cdrw. It is , in somewhere in settings in imgburn or problem in physical drive. I will try to clean it and retry

Boggin · « **Reply #14 on:** March 16, 2016, 04:15:39 am »

It's always possible that it is a bad CD, unless you have tried others.

Have you tried burning any other file to it as a test ?

Boggin · « **Reply #15 on:** March 16, 2016, 04:35:58 am »

Been having a Google on this error and while some have reported having the problem with DVDs, others have reported they only get the error when using a CD but not a DVD.

I have also seen it suggested changing the write speeds but no confirmation that worked.

jraju · « **Reply #16 on:** March 16, 2016, 05:09:50 am »

Hi, the same cd i used in xp , has been used in windows 7 with same imgburn version. The burn process wa successful.
I think that there is some problem in physical drive.

Boggin · « **Reply #17 on:** March 16, 2016, 06:22:28 am »

Do you not have another CD to try ?

jraju · « **Reply #18 on:** March 16, 2016, 06:26:28 am »

yes , i have and i tried with cd rws. If i try with cd r then there is problem if the process is failed.
You might have seen the supported format that my xp cd drive, support inclluded cdrw

Boggin · « **Reply #19 on:** March 16, 2016, 07:20:36 am »

As you get the same error on both Win 7 and XP, does that not exclude the disk drive as being the problem or is this an external disk drive ?

Boggin · « **Reply #20 on:** March 16, 2016, 07:41:40 am »

I'm not sure what SeaTools for DOS or SeaTools for Windows (which installs on the computer) is supposed to do.

All the DOS version did was scan various aspects but did not show any details of those scan logs and just displayed what the HDD was.

The one for Windows was similar in that it didn't run a chkdsk in any form.

If you want to know about the state of your HDD, then a chkdsk /f or the trial version of HDSentinel will give you a written report.

Hi,
What i meant is , the dvd drive is not working in my laptop. I tried to burn seatool for dos, for checking the hdd in the desktop computer, when it fails to boot when i installed the OS, the problem of which you may be aware thro my other thread.
Now, as i have changed the hdd in desktop computer it is ok. But the dvd drive in laptop having xp, is giving me trouble of not burning any disc. Now, today it also failed to read. I completely cleaned it with writex, a cd containing brushes and clean while playing the audio.
The problem persists. Is there any other way of knowing whether the drive is working. It opens and ejects. But today, when i place a cd r having data, it is swirling, but could not do anything. it is swirling and spinning as if it is doing something, net result is zero.

Boggin · « **Reply #22 on:** March 17, 2016, 02:16:54 am »

Is the disk drive recognised in Windows Explorer or Disk Management with a drive letter and does AutoPlay open when you put a disk into it ?

When you right click on it in Device Manager and select Properties - what does it give for its status ?

MS has a Fix it for ODDs that don't read or write and the second article gives some other steps to work through, but if none resolve, then the disk drive is probably goosed.

Hi, I checked it reads and pop up auto play message as usual. I will try those fixes and report back.
i could read the contents of the cd rw and i could also play a movie from dvd. But writing is the problematic area in windows xp laptop

Boggin · « **Reply #24 on:** March 17, 2016, 02:27:52 am »

There are both reading and writing heads for both CD and DVD - if the burning heads are shot then while you can still use the ODD to read etc. it will be goosed for burning.

As both Nero and ImgBurn have problems with it, then I doubt CDBurnerXP will be able to do anything either, but you could give it a try.
