OVERSTIMULATIONS Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 I am still getting coasters from DVD-rw. I have tried various media. My next move is to flash the BIOS. I have an Amptron P4-935ALU. Amptrons, instructions are to type" flash.exe biosfile.rom /a , where biosfile.rom, is the name of the bios. There is another command to back up the BIOS, but that didn't seem to work, perhaps, because I don't the know the original BIOS' name. Also of note: I tried to use the Optorite utilitity which would flash the BIOS in Windows, but it would not work: says device not supported. I know it's the right one though. I would like some thoughs on this matter, before I procede further.... Dustin OVERSTIMULATIONS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD_Wannabe Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 what DVD burner is it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindDrive Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 NOTE: THIS SHOULD BE DONE BY ANYONE THAT BURNS DVD'S use DVDRW's !!!! if you do get a bad burn - you can always erase the dvd!!! and if you get a GOOD burn then all you gadda do is just COPY DVDRW to DVDR ^_^ its a great trick but it does take a bit more time - but dvd coaster production will be at an all time LOW hehehe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindDrive Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 oh and is it a DVD+RW or a DVD-RW or DVD+/-RW drive?? and what type of dvd's are you using ???+ or - ?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVERSTIMULATIONS Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 The drive is an Optorite 0201 DVD +/- RW. It can burn +R, +RW, -R, and -RW. Yes, I have all tried different media, but that has not fixed the problem. The problem occurrs whether I burn w/ Nero, B's Gold or Windows (yes, I have trouble burning CD's at high speed too). Any suggestions??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccokeman Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 I just returned a Liteon and got a sony and so far no coasters. It could be the burner or the brand of dvd that you are using. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
