well we can take this furthur by figuring out what it's doing when it starts to cache. Do you have enough hard drive space? Could it be your ram? try swapping the ram from your brothers PC


also you can try to install this:

ftp://ftp.adaptec.com/software_pc/aspi/aspichk.exe

that checks the version and instance of aspi drivers. If you have anythign less than 4.72 go here:

http://download.adaptec.com/software_pc/...i_v472.exe for the generic windows one.

NERO makes their own aswell: ftp://ftp.ahead.de/neroaspien.exe

You can try that to see if that works. Also within Nero you should try to test the drive out see if it hangs. or burn in test mode first.


we'll get you burning or else...

Done all the aspi checks, tried adaptec and nero, no diff. Mem is fine and I have 32 gigs free disk space. It doesn't matter if I try to burn a 12 meg file or 2800 megs. same thing everytime. It writes 700 megs to a cd no problem. even hit 45x on a 24x cd-r. There is something in my system stopping it and I can't find it. I've done all win repairs, disk repair, scan disk, optimize, aspicheck, drive tests, clean boots,reinstalled windows. I give up.

Computer 1 me 0

I'll win in the end.

BTW the drive is in it's box ready to be kicked to the curb. I may have lost the battle but I will win the war.
