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!
 
also i had recently changed my ide cable and the damage began after that....

before that i was unable to read and write any cd/dvd
 
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.

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.

how could there possibly be scratches on a new disk?

i have tried thrice and there was no result..!!!! also i havent made any changes in the burner's settings. all i did was reinstalled it!!
 
It has happend to me try using windows built in cd burning if you are running windows xp or vista

i hope that works!! i have used to burn dvds using the built in burner a few times back and it worked perfectly but it is time consuming... i guess that i will have to go through it again....
 
gave try burning dvd using the built in burner..but hell- it hanged on just making the image - i left it for the whole night but the morning it was same!!

i feel like i am going to reinstall the OS...may that work??
 
It worked

finally my dvd has again started functioning correctly.. i went to do a windows reinstall and after that it worked....but still i dont know why this happened?? maybe the os got a bit faulty, i guess...

well thats it for getting my problem solved, and i thank you all for your advices...this helps me learn
