error writing kma file

[Dufgolfer]

I am trying to import songs from CB90225. Trac 1 imports ok but I get "error writing kma file" on all other tracs. I just upgraded to 4.09 and tried again with the same results. I have a Twinhead laptop and a plextor PX760x both of which I bought from MTU. I have had a lot of problems lately importing discs and even importing other peoples discs to the playlist. I have cleaned the plextor. What else can I Do?

What firmware version is on the Plextor drive?
Are you keeping the computer up to date (Microsoft updates)?
Is there any more information in the error message?
Is the drive getting full?

Thanks for responding.
1. I don't know what firmware is but it is whatever came with the puter and the plextor.
2. I am keeping the puter up to date.
3. No, all it says is "error writing kma".
4. No, my hd is less than 1/3 used.

Firmware is the internal control program on the drive itself. To find out what version you have open Hoster and go to Tools/CD/DVD drives. Find the Plextor listed there and the last group of numbers at the end of the description is the version. If it isn't 1.07 then it is out of date and you will need to go to http://www.plextor.com/english/suppo...s/firm_760.htm and download that version and install it.

Is this happening only with that particular Chartbuster cd or is it happening all the time?

The last 3 numbers are 1.07.
This is happen a lot lately with a variety of discs, Chartbuster, All Star, Sound Choice are a few I remember. Also I have several singers who have thier own custom made discs and I have not been able to copy songs from them to my play list. A year ago I could download most everything. Lately almost nothing. I bought a 3 disc set of Tammy Wynette Chartbuster and downloaded disc 1 but could not download disc 2 or 3. I have a friend who has a HP pavillion slimline. She just bought Hoster Lite and I was able to download all three discs on her puter with the cdrw/dvd drive that came in her puter. Very frustating.
Any other Ideas other than buying a new one?
Thank you

I would say then that probably your drive is failing. I have both 716 and 760s all have finally failed on me and will not write or in many cases read discs. MTU has switched to selling NEC Optiarc drives because Plextor 's newer drives no longer support CDG though I am sure many will read them anyway.
In fact I am getting ready to order a new one from them because the two drives in my home machine will no longer read the SCDG discs (for conversion with another program).
So unfortunately that may be your only option.
