Chipset not letting me burn?

[Mewsic]

I just got an Abit NF7-s board along with a Barton 2500+ processor, and for some reason my dvd-burner won't burn. It can read DVDs with no problem, like copy the contents to my hard drive but it won't write at all. I've tried several different programs and none work. My device manager reads my DVD burner as "Matshita DVD-RAM LF-D310 SCSI CdRom Device". Why is it shown as a CdRom Device? And it's not on my SCSI line, only my hard drive is. Any help would be appreciated.

the scsi thing's to do with drivers. this is normal, don't worry.

what do you mean it won't burn at all? give us some more to go on, for goodness' sake.

It just won't burn. Nero says that the File Allocation is wrong, or something like that, and my NeoDVD just fails on every attempt to write. It won't write anything to the disk, it just ejects it being blank. Where can I find drivers for my drive? I can't find them anywhere. I thought I bought an A03/A04.

I Suspect some problem to writing chip/electronic components of your drive.
Have you tried it on another computer with same settings?
If again this happens then the problem is certainly on the drive.

This only means that your created DVD structure isn't 100 percent standard compliant. Have you tried to build an image and record this using DVD Decrypter? Just to test your recorder...?

Greets, CouJo!

yep, don't use nero. it's shoddy at best for dvd stuff.

Nero is fine. Just check all the needed files are present, that's what it's telling you with this message. Or the file generated by your encoder are not dvd compliant ( references to missing parts or something like that).
