CD burning under Vista
CD burning under vista broken?
I am trying to burn a CD under windows Vista x64 this is on a completely fresh clean install of vista to rule out any other conflicts. Reguardless of the type of burn I try to do Mastered, etc... I have the same net result. The CD go through all the motions of burning and when it is complete, I am informed that it was burnt sucesfully. If I subsequently try to read the CD Vista asks me if I want to format the CD, almost as if it is trying to treat a CD as an RW. I then tried loading Nero on the machine as I heard this would solve this issue, however same result, Nero completes informing me that the CD was sucessfully burnt, and ejects the CD. If I then re-insert it Vista asks if I want to format it. The machine can read DVD's and CD's I have created on another machine under XP. It can also read CD's created on this machine when it was XP. The config of the system is: MSI K9N SLI platinum system board. LITEON LH-20A1H all running VISTA Ultimate X64. Any Ideas? |

My first idea might be to try a different burner, just to double-check it isn't a hardware fault. If you want to tell me that it almost certainly isn't because the burner worked under XP then I'd be inclined to agree with you but you've got to start somewhere and there's a difference between probably being right about the h/w being fine and actually being able to prove it beyond doubt. -- Robert Moir http://www.rhymeswithgeek.com |

Unfortunately I can also duplicate the issue on 2 other (exactly) identical
configured systems. "Robert Moir" wrote: "saint_craig" wrote in message ... The config of the system is: MSI K9N SLI platinum system board. LITEON LH-20A1H all running VISTA Ultimate X64. Any Ideas?

Well It might be an issue with Vista and that particular brand of burner perhaps. While the Vista burner support is ever bit as appalling as you might expect it to be, it does seem to work here. Admittedly the thought of using it for anything serious makes me lose the will to live, but it isn't constantly crashing with my setup (a couple of LG "super"DVD drives) |

CD burning under Vista
Robert,
I thank you, you got me thinking it may be the burner and lo it was. I checked the Vista HCL for this drive and it was listed as being compatible my MS and had received certification testing, and whatnot. I then tried contacting lite-on support, about this drive and after the tech asked me about 20 questions, he then disconnected the chat session Abruptly. so with no direction, I thought about what you said, and went out today and purchased two replacement Samsung drives that are not listed o the Microsoft HCL (at all) and installed them, in about 10 minutes I have burnt successfully a test CD. So now I have two liteon drives that are going back to New Egg, since they do not work under vista, (work fine under XP.) and well since their tech support treated me the way that they did, I will not use them in my other machine which is being built as a server, and will insure I never buy their product again. -Cheers!

Glad to hear you've got things working now, even though it sounds like you've had far more trouble with liteon than you ought to have had. |
