| When trying to burn a CD with my new NEC 4551A DVD burner, Windows tells me there's not enough free disk space for the image to burn. It's only 600MB of files, and the disk it's supposed to put the image on has 55GB free! If I try using a disk that actually doesn't have enough space, it tells me how much more I would need, but for this one it doesn't even show that text. (In the screenshot, the blue square is where this text would be.)
I've tried changing various CD-related options, putting the image on a different drive (though F:\ is the only one that actually has enough space), rebooting, and checking drive F:\ for errors. It can read CDs and DVDs just fine, and since it never even gets to the actual writing, I don't see how it'd be a drive problem. [edit] OK what the hell. I freed up 1.2GB by moving things to other disks and emptying the recycle bin. It gets farther into "creating disc image" but still fails, and the free space for F:\ has only gone up by 0.4GB. It even told me once, before it even started making the image, that the disc was unusable, but I just took it out and put it back in and it stopped saying that.

| Try using mkisofs: http://www.sbox.tugraz.at/home/t/tplank/ (you need cygwin1.dll if you don't have it already)
Assuming all the files are in a dedicated directory, run something like this: mkisofs -r -J -o cdrom.iso -V Label c:\path\to\dir Breakdown if you want it: -r -J = -r is for RockRidge extensions (pretty much every non-MS operating system), -J is for Joilet extensions (MS-DOS, WinNT, Win9x, Linux, FreeBSD). Both are recommended if your filenames don't fit into the standard ISO9660 contrants. Even if all you're going to be using is Windows, strange things can happen if you put Joilet extensions on without RockRidge, so leave -r. -o cdrom.iso = Pretty simple, output to the file cdrom.iso. -V Label = Disc label. Without specifying, it defaults to CDROM. Not sure if it works with the Windows port, but you might be able to put spaces "like this in quotes" c:\path\to\dir = Need explaination? You shouldn't, otherwise pick up Microsoft Windows for Dummies. Also another thing that should be obvious: the resulting file can be burned by any application that should be able to burn images. cdrecord, Nero, uhh... don't know anything else on Windows unless K3b has a port (best CD-writting application ever invented!)

Well that worked (I used a program called ISO Recorder to burn the image; it hung when it was done though  ) but I still can't imagine why it would have done this. Any ideas?
Oh yeah and thanks for the help.  Putting the label and path in quotes worked fine BTW.
[edit] OK, now WTF? It reads DVD movies fine, but it reads blank DVD-RWs as blank, zero-byte CDRWs. 
[edit 2] After rebooting, I have an unknown PCI Device with no drivers in PCI slot 2, and the device that's actually there is supposedly in slot 3 which is empty.  (edited by HyperMackerel on 04-13-06 03:47 AM) (edited by HyperMackerel on 04-13-06 03:57 AM) |

| Is the proper ASPI driver installed probperly ?
If you have Nero, they got on the computer anyway if they were none. I couldn't burn DVDs at all with any program but Nero only. And does the BIOS recognize the DVD burner properly ? (edited by Surlent on 04-13-06 01:28 PM) |

| HM, try this out, if your DVD-RW is brand new but has been on the market for more than 3 months or older, I would advise you to look for a firmware update for the DVD-RW drive. also you have to be really carefull with Nero 6 and the latest Nero 7 if you a erase the DVD-RW windows does not know if it is a blank CD or DVD until you format it.
Make sure you format it with Nero or roxio. if I were you I would choose these 2 options when formating the disc UDF or (ISO 1- 9969) after about 5 to 10 minutes Nero or Roxio will finish formatting your DVD-RW disc you should end up with at least 4.79 gigs of spavce if its a normal DVD-RW disc. Be aware that Nero can format a Disc and render it useless if you do this to frequently. |

| Hmm...you used Microsoft CD Wizard burning utility... that explains why you had problems. I never liked that service of Microsoft, so I never used it. Maybe the problems you had with that was due to deactivation of some services... | |||

Alright, I'll try Nero (the burner came with it, so yay ). I'm probably just going to reinstall Windows anyway though, it's starting to do other weird things (Not remembering passwords, windows always appearing right in the corner, etc).  |

Whew! Nero, which came with the burner, managed to burn a DVD-RW just fine even though Windows reported it as a zero-byte CDR. So at least the drive works.  If this goes away after reinstalling Windows, I'll close the thread.(edited by HyperMackerel on 04-18-06 02:21 AM) |
