I've just installed my new mediastation and the first time I try and use it, it hangs when burning DVD-R's. It seems to get past the Burn-in and then starts on the tracks. The estimate of elapse time then just goes up and up. I tried Nero essentials included on the Installation CD with no joy. Looking at the DVD-R shows that something has been written. I eventually tried a DVD+RW and that burnt OK in a few minutes. (700 Mbytes). The DVD-R is a Maxell DVD-R x16. 4.7 Gbyte
It gives an error message in a window which I think says "IOCTL error" but i'll need to sacrifice another DVD to find out.
I tried updating the driver, but Microsoft says it is the latest. I'm running on Windows XP so there isn't much to do on install. Any Ideas.Is there a firmware upgrade?
Here is a section of the Nero Toolkit info file
