Not too long ago, I suffered this dreadful error msg: and finally solved the problem, as you can read here: But today, once again, I am unable to transfer music to my HiMD unit, be it from real, physical CDs, or mounted images. Has anyone recovered from this problem? Thanx in advance.
-
Oh yeah, I tried that button several times, on both my physical drives and the virtual one. Nothing. When I saw it was working on one drive, I immediately checked the other 2, just in case and now all of them are working BUT there's a catch. There is NO SOUND if you hit the Play button... but well, as far as I can transfer music to my HiMD, I don't mind. All the best, Stephen.

Stephen, hi again! Well, after my hiatus I came back to let you know that SimpleBurner is working up again, but I couldn't tell you what I did exactly, since I was fixing so many things in my registry and other stuff, that I am not sure if that had anything to do OR that the following is what cured the problem: My ISP has been having some problems lately so I've been offline a few hours. During one of those internet blackouts, I fired up SB and VOIL
-
Yeah, that's correct: C: hd, D: DVD. Not me though, C: HD, D: recovery partition: E: First DVD, F: Second DVD: Any hints as to what I should see in Process Monitor? Should I point to Simple Burner? If I do so, I get an entry every second, but I cannot determine if this is good or bad. If I press the Play button, nothing changes. I hoped I would see a secondary process trying to open/read the cd. Whoa! Is it normal that Simple Burner has entries every second literally? Shouldn't it be idle if it's not doing anything?? I see some NAME NOT FOUND and some BUFFER OVERFLOW lines...
-
I'll give the "disconnect drives" theory a try. About the LASTDRIVE, I really don't know.
-
Hmmmmm. Yeah, I know about System Restore's idiosyncracies, which is why I automatically disable it after a fresh install, but since I switched my video card, I wanted to have a restore point if anything went wrong, but then forgot to turn it off. I did uninstall the virtual drives and its drivers (nero and deamon tools), like you suggested.
-
One of them is a brand new drive. Two weeks, tops. The other is about 5 years old, but none of them are working with Simple Burner only. They play, read, burn data, video and/or audio media without a problem. And yes, it's becoming quite annoying. For such a lite program as Simple Burner to have become so cumbersome for me, it's just plain ridiculous. What I meant about System Restore was if it being active would tamper with Simple Burner in some way. I guess not, right? Let's give it a day or two, Stephen. Maybe we can find or think of something we haven't yet. Thanx again!

Uninstalled about 15 different entries for NetMD, all the cd/dvd drives, all the Generic Drives, Usb Mass Storage devices that were semi transparent, and anything relevant as pointed in the link you provided, and STILL, nothing. I went to test my MD and the 4.3 SonicStage + 2.0 Simple Burner with a neighbour that has windows XP and of course, it works perfectly, but why NOT on my system? He also has SP3. Do you think System Restore being active as anything to do? What about codec packs? I have the k-lite ones installed. One thing I did notice is that eventhough my Simple Burner tags CDs, it does not show the track timings. I guess it is only reading the TOC, but partially. When I tested the Simple Burner at my neighbour's, Simple Burner made the CD Drive check up (progress bar and all), tagged and then showed the track timings. So I guess my Simple Burner is NOT communicating properly with my DVD drives.
-
Yeah, it's the strangest part. I even make tests with my firewall turned off, so I can rule out any firewall interferance with Simple Burner, but as I tested before, Simple Burner 1 works flawlessly, while Simple Burner 2 does not work properly. And the CD Drive check for Sonicstage also works as it should, even with virtual drives. I don't know how to clean up my device map, I'll check it out, Stephen. Thank you once again for making this problem yours as much as mine. We're not there yet, but boy! Have I learned a LOT!
-
The CD Drive check only fails in Simple Burner. And only Simple Burner 2, since SB 1 reads and transfers to NetMD pefectly, but not to HiMD. Once again I followed the steps featured here, went even further by searching Sony, Sonicstage, Simple Burner, etc., entries in my registry and deleting them, running CCleaner, running TuneUp Utilites, rebooted everytime it was necessary, and finally installing SonicStage 4.3 + Simple Burner 2 (the latest), PX Engine, CDDB Update patch and, annoyingly, the problem persists. I guess it's time to consider reformatting.
-
I went REALLY back and, just for fun, installed my very old OpenMG version 1.5, from my MZ-S1 unit and works PERFECTLY. Simple Burner 1.0 reads audio cds perfectly and transfers them to the MD unit, but of course it has no HiMD compatibility. So my problem is specificaly with SB 2.0. Grrrr.
-
Found it, thanx.
-
It's actually 4.2. Hmmm. I thought I had the latest. I will have to find 4.3, uninstall everything and reinstall. I guess I never felt the need to update since everything was working fine. I'll get back to you when I have the latest version, Stephen. Thanx again.
-
Last night I went to Roxio's website, dloaded Px Engine 4.18.16a and updated it. Nothing again. I think I will (once I make up some room) install another Windows XP session just install SS/SB to check if this is not a hardware issue, before attempting a disc reformat. I will confess I am downloading at the moment, but several of my trials were done right at startup, when nothing critical was running, and I had previously disabled the dreadful plugin-container.exe from firefox. They say it would free up FF's RAM intake when almost everyone can see that it actually DOUBLES it. Bad move, FF. Thanx again, Stephen.
-
Px-engine. Is this a shared Windows component? I might have to reinstall Nero then. And I do not have the latest SB. The one on my installer cd is 2.0.04018080. I wish it was as simple as that!! Is 2.0.5 available as a download? Found it. I will install it and report. Thanx again, Stephen! -------- Same as before. I will reboot just to make sure. -------- Sad to report that I have same behaviour as before.
