Can't burn dvd's with any software. Invalid field in the CDB???
Hey Guys:
I've got a Plextor PX-716A. It was working fine and then one day it just stopped burning. I get errors with Imgburn, Shrink, Blindwrite and Nero. It does work, it plays movies. It just won't burn.
Here are the errors I have gotten:
BlindWrite: Write error at 16 (16) - Code 05 24 00 [Illegal Request Invalid field in CDB]
ImgBurn : Invalid field in the CDB
I'm sure Nero says the same thing but I didn't want to waste space here posting the whole Log.
So, is there a way to correct this???
( I am running Windows XP Pro w/SP2 on a 3.0ghz intell chip. )
Thanks,

For what it's worth, my previous plextor died - but just the burning part, and just when writing CD-RW discs. Â I could read discs fine, and I could burn "regular" discs fine-- just not RW's. Â Â Didn't matter what media, etc. Â Eventually I ran the self-test diags, something got flagged, and I was able to RMA the drive with Plextor because it was still covered by the 1 year warranty.
While I was a huge believer in Plextor drives for a long time, I understand their hardware quality has been declining, and I even heard that some of their newer drives are actually made by a third party. Â LITE-ON has been catching up in recent years, and their quality is good I understand.
No matter-- Â new drives are easily under 40 bucks these days. Â Gad, I remember having to pay almost $120 for a new plextor CD-RW drive (PX-708 I think). Â Â With all the dual-layer technology abounding that some people are flocking to, "standard" DVD-RW/CD-RW combo drives are incredibly cheap....... Â Â
