Hi Guys

When trying to copy onto cdr using media player, i get to 97% & it comes up with error!! Please make sure re-writer plugged in, disc not full or damaged etc!

When trying using Roxio, the errors i get are:
E: Sony DVD RW DW-U12A Power Calibration area error [03/73/03]
Invalid field in CDB [05/24/00]
This was set at 4 X speed, i have even set the speed to 1 X but still the same problem. Any ideas??

Thank you

One other thing that may be linked. When i boot the pc up, a box sometimes comes up which says something like, internal memory reference error??? Or something similar.

Its probably something silly but its driving me mad

Thanks again

Paul

That error would suggest either:

1) Your media isn't suited to the drive (or it's cheaper media)
2) Your drive is dying

Try different CD-Rs

thank you Kee-lo

I have tried several types so it maybe dying on me, however they have all been of the cheaper variety, are there any makes you would recommend?

Thanks for your reply

Try TDK cd-r's. They always seem to work the best for me. Failing that, Samsung ones are reasonably priced (I got 100 for about £10 at Staples, but that was last year!) and work well for me on my laptop and the Vaio.

Simple thing, but have you tried cleaning the lens?

No i havent tried cleaning the lense Exinferis, it would make sense though as my last post on here was due to a bleeping sound caused by dust inside the pc.

I dont know how to do this though, any advice?

Thanks

Paul

You could use a lens cleaning disc, however the hairs of the brush should be really soft, if not you could end up scratching the eye of the lens.

I have today bought a cleaning disc from PC WORLD. Cost me £13.99. i played it & thought oh well!!!

When it was done i tried to copy a music cd & it worked!!!!!!! for the first time in 6 months, i couldnt believe it!. My parents bought me a dvd camcorder for xmas & now i can copy onto disc thanks too you.

Thank you so much, it was down to dust on the laser after all.
I cant thank you guys enough, especially Exinferis.

Thank you again, very very much & happy new year to you all

Paul
