 | | Jay on April 18, 2003 | CRX175A1 CD ReWriter problem
Hi I have a Sony CRX175A1 CDRWriter, and im having problems burning CDs, be it CDRs or CDRWs. The drive reads OK, recognises CDs too. The problems comes when i try to burn a CD. Ive used several burn
softwares, different makes of CDRs and CDRWs, and different copy processes, but i get the same problem. The burn process seems to work, the memory buffer is shown as enough, the burning counts up to 100% with no probs. I even get a message at the end saying 'the burn process was completed successfully.' However when i check CD, theres nothing on it, no data, no bytes, but the CD is shown as used and so with CDRs they are unusable again. Ive checkd the Data ribbon cables are plugged in. Im not sure what the problems is and what else to check. Any ideas and help would be great? |

Hi Jay,
That seems awfully wierd. I have never heard of such a problem before. Have you tried reading your freshly burned CD-Rs in another computer? As well, what version of Windows are you running?

Yea man, I'm getting the same problem. I used Cd-rw's and it would say burn process completed...and when i'd play it in a cd player or stereo....it couldnt read the disc...as if there was no data on the disc. Anyone know what causes this or know's how to fix it? |

I have had my CRX175a1 since around 2002. It is one of the fastest and most reliable burner I have seen on the market for its speed. However, I have continually had minimal problems with it. When I first purchased it, as soon as I had burned my first CD, the drivers for my IDE channel became corrupted and had to be re-installed. This happened on two seperate mainboards.
Recently, however, I have been unable to repair a problem it is having. Out of nowhere both my CD-ROM (generic) and the CRX175a1 failed to read ANY cds. Every CD either didn't register or was recognized as a blank disk. These were not burned disks, they were original copies. So I tried everything from re-installing drivers, re-installing IDE channel drivers, busmaster drivers, replacing ribbon cables, switching the IDE channel ports, to switching the drive to a completely different system.
Not long ago I fixed the problem with the generic CD-ROM by switching the jumpers so that the generic was the Master and the CRX175a1 was the slave. The generic now reads perfectly, even with the jumpers set back.
I did notice that all types of binary readers (for reading / flashing firmware on the drives) are unable to initialize the RW drive at all. With burning programs (such as NERO), when I tried to get it to burn, the program (NERO) simply gives the status message: Initializing Drive..." over and over again.
But the drive is recognized in BIOS, but I have been unable to test it in DOS.
I am convinced it is some type of problem with the drive itself and has nothing to do with software / firmware. |

Hi
I had similar problems with Nero rewrite - it would never work for me. it seemed to copy to cd but there'd be nothing there. The tray would open for no reason. Recently i put an updated version of nero and it is now working (after years!). However, in my haste i have knocked the open cd rewriter tray and now it is jammed. does anyone know how the tray mechanism works? how can i tease it shut without breaking it.
thanks |
