What is DMA Error - CRC Error when burning cd/dvd?

i get this error as soon as i reach 53% burning and the process fails?? Let me know why it is caused and how do i mess up with it?

Thanks!

You didnt by chance change out a 80 wire/40 pin cable for a 40 wire/40 pin IDE cable? Plus go into your control Panel-System-Hardware-Device Manager-under your IDE controllers and make sure its running in UDMA mode.

Well its a Error detecting code, have you tried burning a little slower?

sameer795 · 12-23-2007, 09:27 AM

i usually burn dvds at 4x to 8x!!! neither more nor less!!

ok.. i checked out for 40wire/40 pin and 80 wire/40 pin cables on internet and what i would say is that this is not the issue with the cable??

i have used a 40wire/40 pin cable from the begining and doing the same now!!

can it be some trouble in windows? because my nero failed!!! i reinstalled it but nero wasnt opening...so i checked out to find that it was msxml problem.....i reinstalled msxml!!! nero started but then the current proble arose......
any idea what it can be??

Are there scratches on the CD onto which you are burning your data files? CRC error occurs(normally) when incomplete bits are present OR when there are scratches on the CD(when burning). Please look into this. Have you tried using another CD?
Also, I would like to know any changes made by you to Nero or the burning device.
