Could not perform fixation?
Hi everyone,
Some time ago I asked for some help on how to burn a 90 minute disc. I was able to burn the disc, but ever since I created that disc, I am stuck with the following error: could not perform fixation. The writer is a Plextor CD-R, PX-320a, and I am using Nero Burning Rom (5.5.10.56). When I try to burn a CD-R, everything goes well right until the end when the verification process starts, then it fails with the aforementioned error. Besides this error, anoter is displayed: logical unit not ready, operation in progress. The first time it occured, I thought it was because I was watching TV with my Hauppage TV card (which has given me troubles in the past), but now the error keeps occuring. The resulting disc seem to turn out fine: all files expected to be on the disc are there, can be copied and verify correctly (CRC check with other tools). How can I fix this error? I already changed the expert features to disable the overburn length (in short the tips given in http://www.ormsby.ca/spazmogen/) but that did not seem to do it. Thanks in advance for your time and trouble, Princess Morgiah PS: Here is the log that I have saved via Nero: Windows 2000 5.0 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 29/01/2003 21:37:36 Nero Version: 5.5.10.56 Recorder: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-320A Version: 1.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 5.5.10.56 Adapter driver: atapi HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) - ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-320A Version: 1.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 5.5.10.56 Adapter driver: atapi HA 1 Bus Type : default (0) - ATAPI, detected: ATAPI === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : IC35L080AVVA07-0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : IC35L040AVER07-0 atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : PLEXTOR CD-R PX-320A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: Off ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523740kB) Free physical memory: 164MB (168948kB) Memory in use : 67 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Enabled (1) Wizard: On 25.6.2004 CD-ROM (ISO) 23:09:03 #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 7604 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : FALSE Multisession : TRUE Multisession type: : Start multisession Burning mode : TAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 2 (Max. of 31 chars) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : FALSE Allow more than 255 characters in path : FALSE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 23:09:04 #2 Phase 72 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1655 BURN-Proof activated 23:09:04 #3 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 115 Reader running 23:09:04 #4 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 125 Writer PLEXTOR CD-R PX-320A running 23:09:04 #5 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 4571 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 23:09:04 #6 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3773 Turn on Track-At-Once, using CD-R/RW media 23:09:04 #7 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 672 Setup items (original item values) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (CTransferItem) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original CD pos #0 + 193343 (193343) = #193343/42:57.68 relocatable, CD pos for caching/writing not required/required, no patch infos -------------------------------------------------------------- 23:09:04 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 229 Last possible write address on media: 359844 (79:59.69) Last address to be written: 193342 (42:59.67) 23:09:04 #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 234 Write in overburning mode: FALSE 23:09:04 #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 1703 Recorder: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-320A; CDR code: 00 97 15 17; OSJ entry from: Ritek Co.

Though Plexwriters tend to be well behaved with overburning out to 95 minutes, you might have damaged the drive slightly. "Unable to perform fixation" means that the runout is incomplete; since modern players need very little runout, that may be okay. The messages are distracting, but not critical as you have discovered. In fact, it may be even less. Try writing without verifying; if that gives no error, then the problem is only timing of the carriage returning to start verification. If you're writing TAO, try DAO - that means less movement on the mechanical assembly. If you can isolate this to the mechanics and the drive is in warranty, see if you can get it replaced or repaired by Plextor. Mike -- http://www.mrichter.com/ |

... Though Plexwriters tend to be well behaved with overburning out to 95 minutes, you might have damaged the drive slightly. "Unable to perform fixation" means that the runout is incomplete; since modern players need very little runout, that may be okay. 95 minutes? I didn't go so far, I only went to about 90 minutes. I doubt the drive got damaged, since all burns worked after that one overburn - as I mentioned in my reply to smh, the problem was solved by reinstalling Nero (without patch). The messages are distracting, but not critical as you have discovered. In fact, it may be even less. Try writing without verifying; if that gives no error, then the problem is only timing of the carriage returning to start verification. If you're writing TAO, try DAO - that means less movement on the mechanical assembly. Ok, I'll keep it in mind. If you can isolate this to the mechanics and the drive is in warranty, see if you can get it replaced or repaired by Plextor. Nope - no warranty, not anymore... Thanks for your reply, Princess Morgiah |

It's not like I'm in a hurry to burn a lot of discs. There are many crying why they couldn't burn at the max speed. Try the burn speed selected by Nero? That would be 1x as well, as proposed to me in the dialog box - it keeps the settings of previous burns. Try selecting 16x or 24x from the speed drop down box. |

Aren't you desperately trying to weasel out of this, Slimeball? ============================================== Mike Richter (Friggin' Scum) spewed (1/10/04): Overburning is risky, but the biggest threat is that the runout (leadout) will be too short and the copy won't play in some drives. Is it now only in "some" drives, Mikey? --------------------------------------------- Mike Richter: CD-R FAQ has Significant Errors --------------------------------------------- ================================= From: "ned ludd" Subject: Lead in and Lead out Date: 5/28/02 "Mike Richter" (Friggin' ****) spewed (5/24/02): I've posted privately to Andy on the FAQ section. It is quite dated ... and has significant errors based on my understanding. An essential omission for this Subject is the role of the leadout/runout in a reader. A CD-ROM (or audio) drive needs the runout to read the session at all. Not in my experience. An audio disc without a leadout ... will read in ANY player up to the point where the data ends provided it was burned DAO. Failed data discs burned DAO will behave similarly, any complete files will be readable in any reader. ================================= ------------------------------- Mikey, you are a Friggin' ****! ------------------------------- Suppose Mikey knows nothing about OVERBURN ? Overburn and Leadout: http://www.feurio.com/English/faq/fa...overburn.shtml How can I exceed the stated disc capacity ("overburning")? http://www.cdrfaq.org/faq03.html#S3-8-3 |

Sure - http://www.ormsby.ca/spazmogen/ but I think it has turned into a 404 by now On this page it is mentioned that you should patch Nero to at least version 5.x (I don't know the exact version anymore).

There are many crying why they couldn't burn at the max speed. I can imagine that. But as I stated before, I'm not burning an amount of discs that large, and my machine is running most of the time when I'm not at work, so time is not of the essence here either. Try the burn speed selected by Nero? That would be 1x as well, as proposed to me in the dialog box - it keeps the settings of previous burns. Try selecting 16x or 24x from the speed drop down box. I knew that - I though you meant that Nero would select some sort of default write speed for me (which it does - the previous one I took). Thanks, Princess Morgiah |
