I/O error, cant read img

[sentricyphen]

im trying to use dvd decryptor to burn an imageto a DVD-R (which was made with imgtool) and it keeps giving me this error:

"I/O device error Device:[3:1:0] SONY DVD RW DRU 500A 1.0g (E:)

ScsiStatusL 0x02

Intepretation:Check Condition

CDB:53 00 00 00 00 00 25 44 F7 00
Interpretation:Reserve Track

Interpretation:Invalid Field in CDB

[Retry] or [cancel]
.....................
then i get
"failed to reserve track!"
.......................


What is going on here?
it works on my disc1.img, but disc2.img
is there some special setting in imgtool that i need to fix???

It looks too big to me.

The image is 5,002,213,376 bytes in size but you can only write about 4,700,000,000 bytes to a dvdr.

true , and i arived at the same conclusion, i thought "oh it must bee too big, thats all" but then i tried a 3 gb one and the same thing happenes. i am now having trouble even ripping movies. for example i am trying to rip pulp fiction with both dvd decryptor and smart ripper and both get stuck at 49%. smart ripper will just keep trying to move on, staying at 49%, whereas with dvd decryptor i get the error stated above, about some I/O error, and that the drive is busy.....what do you think that means???

[sentricyphen]

are there some extra ASPI drivers or something for these programs???
im getting kind of frustated with all of this.

Sounds like a good time to do a reformat and start again ;)

You tried updating you ide bus drivers?

[sentricyphen]

well one thing is, it says something about SCSI in there... i dont even HAVE a SCSI drive...
i have no idea why it thinks it is a SCSI, it is most definitly ATAPI.

well, why would reformatting help me? IDE updates, like what?

[gooki]

Reformatting will clean out your system. It sounds like you've tried so many aspi layers, amoungst other things that windows is just havng a hell of a time working properly.

IDE bus drivers, are normally part of your motherboard driver set, and well worth seeing if there is an appropraite update available for them.

[sentricyphen]

well i am defintly overdue for a formatting, its been some 4 months now. but uh, as for the IDE drivers, my computer is only about a year old. I really wouldn't think it all that necesary. but i would like to check it out. i did a search but didnt really come up with a whole lot. i thought it would be @ the manufacuters site(dell) but it wasnt. and the onlything yahoo & altavista gave me was a lot of crap.

[sentricyphen]

im guessing once you update your ide drivers, it stays there after you format (its actually on the motherboard, not HDD?)
