I can't burn also. I don't get the same error message you receive, but the burn option is not highlighted on my options to burn. It just says no disc in drive.

I tried the following below:

If this were not the issue, what might it be. I have checked the IDE controller issue, it is all good. Tried several DVDs and brands, and check for a update for my driver, but there was no update (at least that I could find) Seems like this may be it because I have an older model HP.

Any suggestions????

Thanks

1] DMA Settings

Setting DMA mode:
Win NT/2000/XP Users

Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click [Device Manager] on the [Hardware] tab, then click to open the [IDE ATA/ATAPI (hard disk) controllers] section. You will find: the Primary IDE Channel controller, Secondary IDE Channel controller. Complete the following procedure:

1. Right click on the Primary IDE controller and select [Properties] from the menu.
2. Select the [Advanced Settings] tab. Check that the [Transfer Mode] for both devices is set to [DMA if available].
3. Repeat this for Secondary IDE controller.

[2] Check the disc.

Make sure the disc is clean and unscratched. Use a different blank disc, or a different manufacturer's disc.

[3]Drive

If you have tried the actions above, there may be a problem with your drive. Contact the drive maker with details of the error code. If the 5th and 6th digit of the error code is 80 through FF, then the error code is maker unique. The descriptions of these error codes differ depending on the maker.
