Problems with 3.001 - FIX: Upgraded drive firmware
 
I'm having a problem with 3.001. I'm running Windows XP with a plextor px-w4824 tu. When trying to duplicate a disk I get a System error and windows wants to close Microstudio. I've tried a reboot and it doesn't seem to help. I have backed up other disks with 3.001 before but it seems to have quit working. I haven't changed any software HELP! I never had a problem with earlier versions of the software (2.XX).

I would first try re installing it first and see if that helps you any.

So, what you are saying is you are actually only having trouble with one disc or now you can't duplicate any disc?

Help with 3.001
 
No I have since discovered that the only drive that is giving me problems is the plextor drive. I am able to copy on my other r/w drive with no problems. I have copied some disks on the Plextor drive. (In fact for a while that was the only drive that was reliable.) now the other drive I have seems to work ok but every time I try to use the Plextor drive the program aborts with a Microstudio needs to close error. BTW I reloaded the program from my origional download and there was no change. The Plextor drive is a PX-W4824TU with 1.05 in the rom. (Just upgraded, I couldn't get the drive to work at all on the old rom version.)

Hope this helps
Chuck

Where did you find the Firmware for that drive as I can't find anything about it on Plextor's web site? Unless it is the 48/24/48U which I have a feeling this is the right one and it's latest Firmware is version 1.07 not 1.05

Also, you didn't say whether your computer is up-to-date with the Microsoft updates.

Plextor drive.
 
I'll have to look again. I thought the latest update for the drive was 1.05 but now I'm not so sure (if you saw a 1.07)! I'll double check. And the answer is yes I have the latest updates to XP...
Thanks for your help
Chuck

Plextor drive.
 
Just upgraded the firmware in the plextor drive and it seems to be working! I HOPE that was the problem. Thanks to all who offered suggestions.
