MSI CR48-A2 CDRW BURNER PROBLEM

hi,
i just bought a MSI CDRW Drive, installed it to my System and for sure wanted to test burn a CD-R, i installed the Nero Burner Software which was bundled with the CDRW Ver. 5.5.10.3, Nero tells me i can just burn 16x and no other speeds possible... My CDRW has Firmware Version 130c... what can that be ?
My System
K7NCR18D Pro Leadtek
Athlon XP 2400+
MSI GF4 Ti4200-VTD8X MS-8894
Hewlett-Packard P1100 21" CRT Monitor
2 sticks X 512MB, Nanya PC2700 DDR on 2nd + 3rd slot
Sounblaster Audigy Platinum
Teac PowerMax 2000 5.1 Dolby Pro Logic Speakers
2x WD Caviar SE 80GB 8MB Cache --->
on an Adaptec AAR2400 Raid Controller 128MB Cache
MSI CR48-A2 CDRW Burner
Enermax 431w EG465P
YEONG YANG MIDI SERVER CASE
XP Pro SERVICEPACK 1

I've done a little search and found out that:
1) MSI CR52-A2 won't write faster than 16x in clonecd DAO-RAW or Nero DAO/96.
2) probably it's not clonecd or nero problem because in other modes the drive writes 52x
3) Many drives from many brands "hit the brakes" when using these special modes. Of course these modes are the only one u can use if u want to backup protected cds.
4) In many cases these issues are solved with firmware updates
5) until now MSI haven't released a firmware that solves the problem
6) The strange thing is that MSI support answered to a email I send them that CR52-A2 "should write 52x DAO-RAW".
7) I think MSI support team is a stupid and ignorant team because it's not a one program failure. Both clonecd and Nero can't write faster than 16x in these special RAW modes.
QUESTION: Is anyone able to write faster than 16x in Clonecd DAO-RAW or Nero DAO/96???? Please test it and report back

  • CR48-A, 48x16x48 burner Problems.

    I have just purchased the 48x16x48 speed burner from MSI.
    I am running an HP Pavillion 566Mhz.
    I have installed the burner correctly, as I have done a half dozen others, but I have encountered a problem that I have never had before.
    When I boot up after installing and check My Computer, it shows the CD-R as a "Removable 'E' Drive".   When in this state, any music or game CD will not work and Windows will ask me if I want to format it!     hehe
    If I then turn off the computer and restart, it then shows up correctly in My Computer, and will successfuly burn.
    Any ideas on why this happens and what I can do about it?
    Thanks!

    Upgrading your firmware is just like flashing your BIOS, as long as you use MSI's firmware from here you shouldn't have and problems.

  • Random Reboots / CDRW Burning Problems

    I just thought I would post a note regarding these two issues, because I had both of them and found a resolution for each.  On the spontanious reboot (or blue screen issue, if you instruct XP to not reboot after blue screens), I exchanged my K7N2G-ILSR for the same board and the machine is now rock solid.  I still continued to have burning issues (I couldn't burn in Music Match, Windows XP built in burning software, or Nero), and found that nVidia's nForce chipset drivers caused this problem.  If you are experiencing this problem too I suggest doing a driver rollback if your running XP to the stock IDE drivers and this issue will go away.  Apparently it makes the cdrom and hard drives show up as SCSI devices that most burning software does not know how to work with.  Patching Nero or MusicMatch did not fix the issue either, I simply had to do the rollback and now my machine runs great!
    Hope this helps someone.

    See... I thought power supply at first too... I tried unplugging all my DVD dri'ves, and pulled 2 sticks of mem out, disconnected one of my 2 SATA dri'ves, and removed my SATA Raid controller from the machine, and it still did the same thing. I'm running with a 450W PSU... seems to work fine. The odd thing is, I woke up this morning, plugged everything back in, and started testing again, and now I'm not able to reproduce the problem. I think there may be something wrong with the card itself as I was purchased referb from creative... but all diagnostics pass. Anyway, it seems fine now, but I'm still really concerned since, I didn't really do anything specific to fix it. Is it a problem that the sound card is listed on IRQ 20? My understanding is that some devices don't like to be placed on IRQs above 6 because windows basically emulates IRQs above 6. Is this true, or am I just confused?

  • DR4-A Burn Problems

    I have had this drive for a year or two and have had virtually no problems.  Recently, I upgraded my Pinnacle Studio software to version 9+ and began to have burn problems.  I flashed the system BIOS and the DVD Firmware, unloaded and reloaded the application, and even reloaded the prior version which used to work well.  I was able to do my editing and save the project but have had numerous problems attempting to burn to DVD.  I am using the same batch of DVD's that I have always used (generic DVD -R and a second brand which I don't recall at the moment) and when I attempt to burn it just sits there with the green light on.  On a whim, I popped in a +RW last night and obtained a successful burn.  I followed it up with another -R and even after letting it sit all night, it still did not burn.
    Pinnacle has no answers and i've tried everything that the group over on the Pinnacle Forum had to suggest, all to no avail.
    Has anyone run into a problem whereas you are able to burn RW's but not recordables?
    Any recommendations, thoughts, or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Alan,
       Just for grins, go buy a couple of new disks in a different brand and see what happens.  I'm convinced my media "spoiled".  Although, I don't fully understand how that could happen, but I guess light exposure could have something to do with it.  I had my problem before updating the firmware or the drivers, and none of the updates made any difference.  I guess I could suspect the laser might be getting weaker and just won't burn the old media, but as long as I can get the job done right now, I'm not too concerned.  It will be time to upgrade to a faster drive in the not too distant future anyway.
    HTH,

  • MSI 870a-G54 Hard drive problem.

    About a week ago i reinstalled Windows because it started to slow down (virusses and what not) And as soon as i reinstalled everything (programs games etc etc) One of my harddrives used for games did not show up at the bios and at My computer.
    So this entire week i've been trying to get it to work again and i've narrowed down the problem today to the BIOS and/or motherboard not giving the power to the HDD in order for it to start and be recognized in BIOS and Windows.
    What ive done to come to this conclusion:
    - Reinstalled Windows twice,
    - Replaced CMOS Battery,
    - Flashed the BIOS to every BIOS setting the MSI website had to offer. None worked for the HDD to get powered up again.
    - Moved CMOS jumper,
    - Changed SATA and powercables on harddrive,
    - Tried the HDD on another test PC i had and reformatted it there as well,
    - Only hooked up the not working HDD to the PC, (HDD did not spin up, and came to the conclusion at this point that motherboard or BIOS is the culprit)
    - Unplugged the powercable to the not working HDD and plugged it back in when the PC was running and i could feel it spinning up, after this i restarted the PC so that the HDD would still get power and it was recognized by the BIOS and Windows and i could use it. As soon as i shut down the PC entirely and restarted it the HDD would not spin up. And i had to unplug power to the HDD and plug it in again and restart PC for it to work properly.
    - Checked for bad sectors nothing found,
    Everything else is working perfectly. Except that one HDD not getting the power when booting up the PC.
    The HDD in question is the "Samsung HD502HJ 500gig" used for Steam games.
    PC Specs:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition. Put on a new CPU cooler last summer (Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus)
    Mobo: MSI 870a-G54
    PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 (650 Watts)
    Graphics card: Powercolor PCS+ HD5870 Put on a custom cooler last summer (Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870)
    RAM: Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz DDR3 (8gigs 4x 2gig) Bought 4 gigs extra last summer
    HDD1: Seagate ST3160812 AS 160gig used for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Works perfectly)
    HDD2: Samsung HD204UI 2TB used for Storage / Other games than i have on Steam. (works perfectly) Bought last summer with the cooling/system upgrade
    HDD3: Samsung HD502HJ 500gig used for Steam games. (Does not work anymore after reinstal) Bought 2 years ago along with the rest of the PC
    I am completely at a loss here as to what the problem is. I do not have the funds to buy a new piece of hardware at this time (i think the entire week of struggle would back that up for me lol...). And ive basically tried everything what i know and what i've found through Google and friends. Might have been better going straight to MSI forum and post my problem here but narrowing it down to this not only helps me but the person that is going to post below in this thread as well lol.
    Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from anyone soon.

    Try drive in different PC, as it looks like it died.
    HDD's always spinup as soon as power is applied, ergo I think the drive died.
    Ive tried it already in 2 different PC's and i have to apologize here for not mentioning that earlier in the topic.
    The drive spins up perfectly in both of those PC's and ive checked for bad sectors on both of those PC's as well and it showed that the drive was 100% healthy on both PC's
    The drive was working perfectly fine before the reinstallation of windows. Thats why i dont think the drive has died. Because it would be weird that the drive just suddenly gave up right when im reinstalling windows..
    It also doesnt add up when i plug the powercable back into the drive while the PC is running and it spins up then and works perfectly until PC is shut down. Thats why i had it narrowed down to the BIOS and/or Motherboard being the culprit.
    My best guess is that its software related because the PC does boot up so its not a hardware problem.
    P.S.
    A friend of mine said that it could be a powersaving issue. But ive looked into the BIOS and i could not find anything about it.

  • Fans run full speed on stand-by and burner problem iMac 24-inch early 2009

    In standby sometimes the fans are running at full speed. Also with burning some CD or DVD's the burner makes an awful grunting sound.
    For a 2 year old Mac I did not expect to have these kind of problems!
    Resetting the iMac does not help. Might this be a Lion problem?
    Optical Drive is running at 4800rpm, normal 798rpm
    Hard Drive at 5903rpm, normal 1599rpm
    CPU at 3598rpm normal, 1200rpm
    The burning problem only happens sometimes, not with all.

    What did you do to reset the imac? Problems like these are "sometimes" solved with an SMC reset.

  • How do I retro-fit my old LaCie CDRW burner?

    I have connected my old LaCie CDRW burner (c. 2000??) with a Firewire/Thunderbolt converter but the device is not recognised in my System profile. I have looked for drivers on the LaCie site but cannot find the correct version. I would like to restore CD burning ability to my new Mac with an external optical drive.

    The drive is spinning OK. Apparently, it cannot be connected via a Thunderbolt port. I spoke to Apple Support and their recommendation is that I splash out on a new Apple SuperDrive.This is disappointing as the LaCie drive was pretty robust. I have since checked my records and found that I bought it in 2005 and that it was the FA Porsche CDRW 52x32x52 model. It is a shame that Apple is so hostile to making its new kit backwardly compatible - particularly as they quietly dropped the optical drive from the latest iMac. Rip-Mix-Burn RIP.

  • Burn problem - "internal target failure"

    Can anybody help me with a burn problem that is driving me crazy, especially as I am a recent migrant from Windows. Every time I burn in iDVD from an iMovie I get the error message at the burn stage, i.e. after 2 hours encoding etc. "The recording device reported the hardware error: internal target failure (0x44,0x00)". This is after reporting the problem to my dealer and having the Superdrive replaced under guarantee. Any ideas gratefully received.

    Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
    That may be a media/burning speed issue.
    I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
    David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
    iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
    Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
    Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

  • Influencing query security - burning problem

    Hi all,
    I've a burning problem that I was not able to find a solution for within 1 week so far.
    I want to simplyfy a selection of variables needed to run a query. So in fact you need three different values to identify a specific set of data. In order to not have the user to enter those 3 independent values, with all the risk of selecting invalid combinations, I created a new InfoObject that holds the three infoobjects (and some more) as attributes. So the user selects only one and I'm doing the work behind the scenes using user exit variables. I've created a multiprovider to combine the two cubes and the infoobject. The value that the user is selecting fron the "dummy" object needs to be excluded from the selection otherwise he'll see no data. This works very well so far, but as soon as security comes into play I run into problems. With security activated on the dummy infobject, the F4 help screen that allows the user to select what he wants to se is restricted, so it only shows the values that he's cleared for. Which is fine. When he selects one of the values it will be excluded as I#m using a selection option variable (no authorization variable) as the default of the variable needs to
    be exclusion and not include. When the query then is executed I'm getting a message that the user is not authorized to read the security object (BRAIN804). So I probably will need a security variable, but this is not working to do what I need as a authorization variable gets populated with all the values that the user is cleared for. I only want one value and that should be picked fro the list.
    Also this value need to be excluded otherwise I'll see no data as the dummy infobj. is not contained in the other two cubes.  Have restricted the query to only use the two cubes and not the infobj. but as long I don't exlude the value it will retrieve no data.
    Now my question - how can I influence the behavior of the security variable ? Remove some values via user exit, switch from inclusion to exclusion
    or just use the security entries to read them and build the contents of the F4 help.
    So any idea - answer is highly appreciated.
    Bernd Dümmel
    Eastman KODAK

    Arun,
    I was able to resolve the problem by adding # to the restrictions. That allowed me to be able to switch from exclude to include on the variable the user does the input. This also allowed me to switch the variable from selection option to single value. In doing this I then could add the authorization variable to the restrictions as well. Now the F4 list is restricted (based on the authorizations of the user) and all the security is working. So without the trick with the # value I would have needed to implement security within some user exits.
    Thanks

  • MSI 6967 or PC2PC license problems!!

    I have 2 MSI 6967, also known as PC2PC.  The drivers on CD are erratic, but I previously managed to get it to work fine with a upgrade to a newer 1.3.x driver.  Now with 1.4.x the damn thing is asking for a license key on install (I was unable to retain the compressed driver file that worked, regrettably).  
    So I went to the slightly rubbish web form to get these, and I entered the correct BD address for each of my devices (I know this to be true, as I when I try to re-register these the web service gives a 'rogue registration' response, so it must store the registered BD's), and obtained a 32-digit key for each.
    When it asks for one of these keys on install, I give it, and it seems ok.  That is, until it has finished, whereupon the bluetooth system tray icon remains red (inactive, or problem), and only the option to 'Start using Bluetooth' is given on right-click.  Naturally I tried this, but it says:
    "Your bluetooth software license does not include use with this Bluetooth device. [6]"
    When I click OK, it then tries to get me to point it to a new, valid license file.  The only one I can see is in the unpacked files that came with the driver download.
    I entered the BD correctly on registration, and it must have been valid as I got a 'valid' response i.e. the web form authorised it as an MSI bluetooth device with that address (presumably the whole purpose of the form, apart from spamming you to high heaven).  I can't do anything else now as it won't let me re-register these BD's anyway.  I can't find the mysterious older driver that worked now, as you can only download the latest (i.e. ) one.  I can't even verify the BD's now, as it doesn't give me the option to go to configuration of the device (although surely they are fixed identifiers anyway, like MAC addresses?).
    Come on MSI, this is POOR service!!  I own these devices, I paid for them, you let me use them for a while and now you have told me to shove it...  If there is no way around this insanely crap rigmarole, please make a driver history available.
    I recently ordered a new-build pc, and I specifically avoided MSI motherboards and other components because of this specific problem I am having with my 'legacy' MSI bluetooth omponents.
    Can someone please let me know how I can get my stuff working again?

    hi
    i bought the adapter today and it was shipped with the old 1.3.1 drivers that didnt work on my w2k pc *EDIT*(bttray say no device, but w2k devicemanager say device is ok and drivers are running)*/EDIT*. so i tried to get the update and ran into the same stupid problems (wrong license file message) :(. the only positive think is that by reading in this forum i find out that:
    1. im not alone with my problems.
    2. if msi was thinking when the talk about 'link to the future', that i have to read lots of rather old postings, that only states that msi didnt care about the problems, or simply can't fix them. and the only solution ist to go to the darkest corners of the internet to get a crack for something that i already payed for.  i think its better for me to stay in the past and never again buy parts from msi, not for me nor for any of my customers (i'm nearly 15 year's in the pc/network troubleshooting bussines).
    3. tomorrow i have to go back to the schop where i bought this useless pice of hardware and give it back. then i wait that the acer adapters are available again. (i use already one on my notebook and was fully satisfied with it, and had mostly no problems at all, at least not such stupid ones).

  • Seriously feeling dumb here...burning problems!

    Ah I am so thick! Okay, so I've been going through all of these past threads about people with burning problems but I feel as if I'm missing something here because nothing seems to be working out for me with iDVD.
    So, I have created a movie off of iDVD that is only about 3 minutes long, with transitions and titles and so on. I have archived it. I have deleted all past movies I have archived as well as purged my computer of alot of old stuff I don't need anymore (I have a lovely old eMac...) I have bought DVD-R's, (not the +R's which I mistakenly bought before the threads told me they don't work...) and this is what happens...I will press burn. iDVD's window flashes from my movie into a window that is just a black background with the iDVD icon in the bottom center, and almost immediately flashes back to my movie with no pop-up warnings or anything. Also in the past it has said there was some kind of a multiplexer error or whatever, but that pop up has since been gone from the problem.
    I would really love to transfer this short film to this DVD-R so I can view it on my lovely DVD player for all my friends.
    Any pointers all you smart DVD people!??
    Thanks, Kate (the dumb cinema student...oy vey.)
    By the way, if it helps with anyone's answer, I have an eMac, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4.

    Hi Kathryn
    How much RAM do You have ?
    How much free space on Your hard disk ?
    What version of QuickTime ?
    Have You been able to burn DVDs before ?
    May be You could do like this (if You have an internal DVD-burner)
    - Close iMovie
    - Locate a QT.mov that is inside Your project folder (movie project)
       in the Share to iDVD folder
    - Start iDVD and drop this "project name".mov file inside the edge of
       a theme window in iDVD
    - Now try to play this - OK ?
    - Then burn a DVD disk.
    Yours Bengt W

  • How can I work around a DVD burning problem

    This article, from the FAQ list at the top of this forum, is valid for all versions, since it may be a problem for any.

    The problem is not so much with Premiere Elements as it is with challenges faces in the operating system registry. Basically, DVD burner programs, like Nero, which are installed on your computer at the factory, refuse to share access to the DVD burner with other programs.

    I have seen this sort of issue discussed in various other threads with suggested remedies of everything from Resetting the SMC to more bizzare (yet substantiated) recommendations of switching languages;

    I was able to burn DL DVD's with 10.4.11, which is what shipped with my MBP when I purchased it. I haven't had need to burn a another DL DVD until now, approx 4 months later.
    Does anyone out there have any suggestions on this? At this point I'm pondering waiting to see if 10.5.2 resolves the issue. If not, I suppose a trip to the Genius Bar is in order.
