1. free space on drive c: = 80 gig
2. No, was never big into defrag as I have heard some drives crashing when doing so.
3. Yes
4. No. BUT - I have used the same DVD box [100 DVDs] for some time and didn't have a problem with them before. Now I have with everyone when trying to burn video backups, [but not with straight data]. Also, if it was the DVDs, why would they have burned say 5 months ago without problems?
I am using TDK DVD -R . I can't remember at this time the differences between -R and +R, but again it was working before with these. I thought TDX was a reasonable DVD, is that right?
Defragmenting used to be dangerous... not now... you should defrag the drive.
OK, you just added something to the mix... are you saying that burning a normal data dvd works fine? What are the "video" dvds you are trying to do? How big?
Very small, like three files for about 1 gig total.
Ok, even so about defrag, but that shouldn't be the defining factor.
It can be if the nero cache is fragmented....
If you burn these 1 gig video files as data, you don't get a problem - is that correct?
It's just if you burn them as DVD video mpeg2?
No, I do have a problem which is why I don't under, data is data to me. So if I had one DVD with word files, no problem being saved as data. But if I take the three video files [and yes I have tried changing the video files to three other files to see if that was the issue for some reason], it locks.
so are you burning them as a data dvd or a video dvd?
Data may be data to you, but how you ask Nero to treat your data results in different outcomes.
In exactly the same way. I simply drag the files I want over from Windows Explorer to Nero. I use the same setup, ie DVD-ROM [UDF/ISO].
Is there a problem there?
The medium is still giving an error "KEY_MEDIUM_ERROR" on your last log. I was trying to find out if it was transcoding and therefore the file sizes change to a larger size. If your total disk is not more that 4GB, then that won't be it.
Everything you have logged keeps pointing to the media. You could try a firmware update to see if the drive can recognise the media better.
On your last log (and previous ones) the drivers list is somewhat short. Can you post the full list (it's the last thing on the log, I am assuming that the forum character limit is forcing you to remove the last few lines).
Oh yeah and "DiskPeripheral : MAXTOR 6L080J4 A93. iteraid Port 4 ID 2 DMA: Off"
Are the video files on this drive? Why is DMA set off on this one?
No there was no cut off because of the forum. I have pasted everything from every log I have posted. I just looked at an earlier one, the first I think and it says:
Existing drivers:
File 'WNASPINT.DLL': Ver=V1.18, size=57344 bytes, created 1/10/2003 12:00:00 AM
File 'Drivers\PXHELP20.SYS': Ver=2.02.62a, size=20016 bytes, created 5/11/2004 9:19:22 PM (Prassi/Veritas driver for win 2K)
As far as the drives, I am not sure. I have 3 HDs, 2 X 200 gig, and 1 X 80 gig. When I look at them it almost looks like they are being duplicated. I think only one is setup as a SATA drive, which is drive e: I have attached the screen shots to show what I mean.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for looking at this.
Sorry, realized I should have attached this screen shot as well to show the controllers.
There is something screwy with your disk drives... particularly the maxtor which is showing as a scsi drive when it is (in fact) an IDE drive.
Can you post a screenshot of your disk management? (right click my computer, select manage, select disk management from the left).
In addition download this and run a report for the motherboard and the drives...
Run everest, in the right pane click motherboard, then choose motherboard again, click report at the top and select quick report motherboard and choose plain text. From that post this bit
Motherboard Properties:
Motherboard ID
Motherboard Name
Now from the left pane, right click on storage and select quick report, text and post the entire report.
You didn't say whether these video files where on the 80 gig maxtor or not.
Odd... disk 1 and 2 (E and G) are set as dynamic drives. Move the files to the C: drive and then try and burn.
Can I also have the other info about the motherboard please?

Posted earlier but for some reason it did not seem to take, so this may be a repeat.
The information requested above is:
