I have upgraded to ver 4.0.5.6 but my problem still persists. I am not able to format the media.
"Error writing the disc in H:\ Please confirm that the disc is compatible with the drive and is not scratched or damaged"

Intel P4 2.4Ghz, DFI Mobo, 512MB DDR, LiteON 52246S, DVD LTD 166S

Thanks

Have you tried different Brands of Media [?]

(in reply to oneworld)

Unfortunately, this is the only media available. However, the same media works with earlier version of INCD (3.x). Also, the same media works with 4.0.1.21 o another machine with different specs.

Thanks

Hello
First of all kill the incd processes that are running incase you have enabled the incd autorun
Try to perfomat a normal format to the disc with nero
Then launch the incd again and perform an incd full format.Take notice on the option so the mrw-format is not checket.
Also be aware to disable the build-in imapi cd-burning service
That worked for me

Which process should I kill? INCD.EXE?

(in reply to oneworld)

i don't have incd installed on my pc now but i think there are two processes the incd and the incdserv.
These are running in case you have inable the autostart option on incd

Sorry for not repling earlier

(in reply to oneworld)

oneworld did you tried the full format process through nero and then full format with incd ??
zoom
you are right i am not full of wisdom but at least i am searching for answers
what is your suggestion for oneworld's problem?

(in reply to oneworld)

I suggest that we "wait" until David logs back on and reads the posts, perhaps he can lend us some "insight" to this problem.

Wisdom comes to those who seek, as long as they have an "open" mind.

Well the first thing I would suggest is that you Open Nero and fully Erase the disk and then see if it will format !!!
By the Way what version of Windows are you using [?]
If you are using Windows XP I suggest you disable the Built in Burning program !!!

(in reply to oneworld)

I am using XP Pro SP1. The built-in burning program is disabled.

And I did a full format too. Did not help.

(in reply to oneworld)

I did not ask you to do a full Format I asked you to Open Nero Burning and do a Full Erase then do a full Format there is a difference !!!
And if that dosen't work I suggest you use some different Media that is the only option left !!!

(in reply to oneworld)

Laffin Assassin, I did a full erase and then I tried to do a full format.
And why would this media not work?

The same media works on another machine, though AMD based, and Incd ver 4.0.1.21.
And the same media worked on the machine I am facing the problem but with Incd version was 3.x
