Lite On LTR40125S
I have a Lite On LTR40125S which is 48X/40X/12X. I purchased some
Memorex High speed CD-RW disks with recording speeds up to 12X. I am using Nero 5 as that is what came with the burner. I am able to erase these disks, but after what appears to have been a successful; write, it throws the Lite On LTR40125S into a locked up mode which I cannot do anything in windows until I remove the disk. I have the latest firmware as I checked and even though the file was supposed to be newer, it was the same size and date of an older firmware I installed. Did I buy the wrong disks for this burner? Any other suggestions appreciated. Thanks |

Any other suggestions appreciated. Thanks (What's the exact logo on the Memorex disc?) (Considering the age of the burner, it may require cleaning.) First modify the registry for Nero to show actual burn speed: 1. Start- Run- type Regedit 2. Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ahead\Nero - Burning Rom\Recorder" 3. Go to Edit- New - DWORD Value 4. Rename "New Value #1" to "ShowSingleRecorderSpeed" 5. Right-click on it and select "Modify" 6. Now set the value 0 to 1 Reboot after the registry modification. Next write something and select 12x (or next lower speed) for 'Write speed'. If the resulting disc locks up, see if you can erase by [Nero, Recorder, Erase] and select 12x (or next lower) for 'Erase speed'. Post back how it went. |

Lite On LTR40125S
Here is a link to what I have:
http://www.memorex.com/html/products... pento=100001 The drive is probably 5 years old, but has had little use. I tried recording at 12 X speed with the same results. I have no trouble with Memorex 40X CD-R disks. I added the registry tweak and will check this later. smh wrote: . -------------------------------------- Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- lb wrote: I have a Lite On LTR40125S which is 48X/40X/12X.

Mike Richter, were you born with "Scam Artist" emblazoned on your face? -------------------------------------- lb wrote: Here is a link to what I have: http://www.memorex.com/html/products... pento=100001 It says 8x - 12x write speed. Does Nero list 8x, 10x for 'Write speed'? The drive is probably 5 years old, but has had little use. I tried recording at 12 X speed with the same results. Burned at 8x previously? I have no trouble with Memorex 40X CD-R disks. CD-RW uses different laser, thus success with cd-r does not guarantee success with cd-rw. On the other hand, the chances of cd-rw laser being dirty while cd-r laser not dirty is very remote. Considering all these, inclined to think the Liteon's write strategy is not compatible with the Memorex cd-rw. (Btw, Memorex cd-rw is generally known as crap.) I added the registry tweak and will check this later. That was to check if there are abnormal burn speeds. The actual burn speed should increase, reaching the max speed only at the end. . smh wrote: lb wrote: I have a Lite On LTR40125S which is 48X/40X/12X.
