Vista churning out DVD coasters

okay. after years of easy DVD burning in XP i have run into a wall with Vista!

DVD writer = Samsung TS-H552B
OS = Vista x64 ultimate SP1

Background:
I am trying to burn the ISO for windows 7.

Problem:

  • Vista does not have native support for ISO files
  • Tried the ol’ faithful Nero 6.6: It’s not compatible with Vista x64… junked before burning
  • next tried Nero 8 lite: installs in a jiffy. starts burning quickly and then stops at ~20% with some CRC error… 2 moser baer costers ready :angry:
  • next tried imgburn. This one reads the DVD+R as a +RW and promptly sets out to ‘Format’ the disk. Coaster #3.

I’m almost out of empty DVD’s trying to burn win 7. help.

oh ya, tried win 7 in vmware. works all fine.

try active iso burner. Check the filesize of the image, sometime it does happen that you are trying to burn a shortcut of the .iso.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009. If this doesn’t work get your DVD drive checked. Something can always go wrong.

WTF , just installed Vista Yesterday and had exactly the same problem on a TSST-SH222A , i installed CD Burner XP ., in advanced options set speed to 4x and ticked override drive speeds and it worked fine , burned 5 dvd’s this way , earlier loat 3 verbatims because every time writing would stop at 26% and i got a CRC error in both the default burner and nero

any chance of a corrupt ISO? but you say it worked under vmware… burning worked fine for me in Vista x64 on samsung octo-edge SH-S203D

Vista x64 user here !!! Try Ashampoo. Works fine for me with my LG H10N.

7

both ImgBurn and CDBurnerXP work fine for me, so something else is up…

Will Try Ashampoo.

For now managed to install win 7 from within vista using deamon tools:)

if I were you, i would not burn ISOs @ 4x speed, always a risk with that :expressionless:

10

Nero 9 Lite working fine for me on Vista x64.

If you need help with Ashampoo let me know :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

cd burner xp pro is way to go :slight_smile: use it and feel the difference :slight_smile:
