Hi wonder if anyone can help for some reason my [pioneer dvd-rewriter dvr 105 will not copy to disk] it play disks that have been written before the strange thing is it goes through the burn process but when i go to view disk it is empty no DATA and have TRIED to Burn photos et, the same result nothing on Disk

I have tried Nero my original software, and windows and Burnaware free edition , it was working fine but now when it burns the Data SHOWS as if it is going to disk but nothing on disks tried several Disks but no good

any help

Thanks [ Running Windows XP pro]I recall my mate had a similar problem when data (mp3) would not suddenly transfer to CD blank discs; He was doing hundreds of mp3 transfers (i.e. burning) as backup to blank discs. We found it was due to DMA reverting to PIO mode (Took a lot of Google searches). You check this setting in device manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, then expand to secondary IDE controller (assuming your DVD is situated there).

Then click on advanced settings, then make sure Device 1 transfer mode is DMA if available. If not then select DMA, then reboot, then check again. If it does not reset to DMA mode, then you have to reset the associated registry setting (I can't recall the site where we found a good tutorial to do this). But evaluate this site: http://winhlp.com/node/10...

Hope this helps. Best of luck...Quote from: pcsourcepoint on February 18, 2008, 03:59:41 AM
