I’ve been having many problems burning audio and data CD’s, but esp. data CD’s which fail far more often in burning than they succeed. CDRWin has performed the same tasks (audio and data) without any problems. I use Windows 98SE with the latest aspi version installed. (I also experienced these same kinds of problems with MJ when I had older versions of aspi installed.)
My CD burner is a Plextor 8/4/32 PX-W8432Ti. I am using the latest firmware and drivers. My CD-ROM settings are as per the MJ FAQ for Windows 98. I am using the latest version of MJ8.
Here are some of the errors I have been receiving:
Using the non-generic driver
1. Error: Unexpected Error Reading File Cache
File/Disc read error encountered
2. Error: ‘Write’ Command failed on device 0:1:0
Read/Write error or bad medium detected (04h 00h 02h 03h 0ch 09h)
Using the generic driver:
3. A device error occurred
Error number is 1022
Error data is: KEY: 24 ASCQ:0
I have read through several of the posts which discuss similar errors and have tried several solutions, including: 1) trying to burn less data; 2) switching on the generic driver; 3) toggling DMA (my Plextor manual says it should be on for fastest performance, but having it turned off hasn't been a problem with CDRWin); and 4) switching off unnecessary background processes.
MJ crashes frequently when I use it to work with my CD-ROM drives generally (e.g. general protection faults when burning). I have never had problems with other programs that use my CD-ROM drives for similar tasks. When DMA is enabled on my CD-ROM drives, MJ gets caught in an “analyzing devices” loop. My computer crashes rarely and generally seems healthy. MJ seems steady otherwise (except for DupFinder, which crashes MJ a lot).
JohnT, is there anything you can say that might help here? Anyone else been down the same road?
Thanks for any help you can give.
