Burning faulty data cd's (without realising)?
Well, I've been burning cd's on my Toshiba laptop SP 6100's burner
(Mat****sa UJDA720) for a year and a half and have just realised that all of them are faulty, as I can't transfer the data back from them. I'm using WinXP and I've tried every burning program, media & burning speed possible without success. Even though I get the impression that the cd had burnt successfully, when trying to transfer the the files back to the hard drive some of them can't be read and I get a error message saying "cyclic redundancy check". This problem happens on any other computer I try and read the burnt cd's on, audio cd's also all burn with noticable pops on them. I haven't managed to locate any updates/firmware for the Mat****sa UJDA720 DVD/CDRW, nor does Toshiba seem to support it. Should I assume my cd burner (which is 6mnths out of warranty) has always been faulty and needs replacement? |

Should I assume my cd burner (which is 6mnths out of warranty) has always been faulty and needs replacement? I would not blame the drive but the match of drive, medium and speed. Only if you find that there is no combination which gives good results would it be reasonable to say that the drive is "bad". I'd recommend starting with a line of discs recommended by the manufacturer and running some tests at different speeds to find the best operating point and the results that you get there. In order to test, please make *measurements* - not go/no-go assessments. With toos such as CD/DVD Diagnostic and CD Speed, you can read error rates not just listen for glitches.

Got time to respond to the above, but got no time to respond to this? ======================================= From: John Baker Subject: MS 2000 issue with CD from ROXIO Easy-CD Creator follow up Date: 5/9/04 Newsgroups: alt.comp.periphs.cdr Message-ID: Thanks for the responses: I have now heard that a system running XP Home 2002 also had a CRC error reading the discs. I need to have a solution to this, since we are distributing program discs to a number of people around the country. Is there any CD writer that runs under W98 and will cover ALL the bases -- create CDs that can be read in all Windows systems? Is there any way that the two systems can cohabit happily, or will I have to uninstall ROXIO? I am not keen to do this because I have a lot of CDs in whatever ROXIOs native format is, and will have to change them all I suspect. Thanks for your help.

They all read fine in systems using XP and ME, but when people using w2000 try and read them they get a CRC error somewhere in the process. Does a anyone know what might be happening? Its not the discs themselves, because we have swapped discs around with the same results, and its ONLY on W2000 systems that we have the problem. Does anyone know a solution? Thanks in advance ======================================= |
