Why does my DVD burner Keep getting error's when verifying data with ISO's (image FIles)?
I have a gateway 506gr computer that I reformatted and updated all the chip sets and so on.. it came with a Lite-On Dual layer dvd burner, When I would try to burn movies with it they would always get disk read errors, sometimes I could get halfway through a movie then it would mess up. So I went ahead a bought a new Lite-On Dual Layer burner, and I successfully was able to burn a movie, But when i burn a ISO it gets a error when verifying the data. So I hooked it up to a older computer and when i put a blank dvd in the drive its read CD-ROM instead of DVD-RAM blah blah.. and it doesn't prompt when what i want to do with it.. and if i double click the CD that is actually a dvd it says in-correct function.. However If I go ahead and open Nero7 and use the burning rom.. (also have tried other DVD write programs) and go ahead and burn the image.. it burns and verifying is successful.. b

I am using Sony DVD +R

LITE-ON model#DH-20A4P-04(I have updated the firmware)


(update) Its also not reading disk properly on the gateway, I poped in a data dvd I burned a while ago with some movies on it and when I tryed to open the one I wanted to watch it would just freeze everything up, so I put in a burned CD and it read "audio CD" but when I tryed to open it gave me a error message and the msg said somthing about going to control panel/file manager to do somthing.

If anyone has any adivse on what settings I need to change on the pc or anything to help me to be able to burn ISO's without any verification errors please let me know.

additional notes: I am not 100% certian if the ISO's will not work or not, they are Nintendo Wii Backup disk, I am waiting on my new modchip to get here. but keep in mind on the other computer using the same version of nero I had no problem with disk verification after burning

I am burning at 4x
I just want my DVD burner to work properly. I should be able to burn a image successfully with my machine.

If it work's with one machine and not the other the problem is somthing with the computer. I bought a new dvd burner in hopes of it working with my gateway.

The DVD burner should be able to read audio, avi files and any other media I have codecs for, I have went to propertys already on the DVD ROM and made sure it was enabled, and I have made sure the box was checked for reading digital audio

Please Help

Based on 's report that the burner behaves differently between machines, the problem is most likely system- or software-related rather than a single faulty drive. The quickest way to fix this is a short, ordered checklist that rules out common Windows/driver/cable conflicts before replacing hardware.

  • Confirm DMA/transfer mode and controller drivers. In Device Manager check IDE/SATA controllers and make sure channels are using DMA (not PIO). If a controller looks suspicious, uninstall it and reboot so Windows reinstalls the driver.
  • Remove filter and virtual-drivers that interfere with optical stacks. Backup the registry, then examine the DVD/CD class key (the standard Microsoft key for optical drives) and remove any UpperFilters/LowerFilters entries if present. Also uninstall packet-writing or virtual-drive software (Daemon Tools, Alcohol, Roxio/InCD, older ASPI layers) and remove SPTD-type drivers.
  • Swap cables, power connectors and ports. Try a different data cable and another SATA/IDE port; try a different power lead. If possible test the drive externally (USB adapter) or put a known-good drive into the problem machine to isolate chassis/PSU issues.
  • Try a different burning app and media. Use a reliable tool that can both write and verify, and test with a different brand of blank disc. Disable background antivirus/scanner while burning.
  • Check BIOS and chipset drivers. Make sure SATA mode (IDE/AHCI) is appropriate for the OS, chipset drivers are up-to-date, and the BIOS does not have odd CD/DVD emulation settings.
  • Look at Event Viewer and run a memory test only if everything else fails; corrupted RAM can occasionally corrupt burns.

If the drive verifies correctly on another PC but still fails on this machine after the above steps, the fault is almost certainly the system (drivers, cables, power, or filter drivers). Replacing the drive is reasonable only after those checks. Legal note: ensure any images being burned are used in accordance with copyright law.
