712a cannot burn CD+G

What is the error that you are getting exactly? Have you tried connecting the drive into a different USB port? Have you tried updating the Chipset drivers for your motherboard? If not, then try these two items, it should fix it.

I am getting error write command failed on device 2:0:0
umexpected aspi error (04h 00h 00h)
I have tried different usb port same error
I have updated my chipset drivers for the motherboard same error

See if there are any updated Drivers for the USB port on this motherboard. This problem is actually caused by the USB drivers, corrupting the data, which then gives you this error under Microstudio. Try burning under another CD burning program to see if it will burn or not.

you have to download a different aspi driver. go to nero.com and download the file to your system 32 folder. nero is the only aspi file that will work with external usb devices. I know because I had the same problem.this is how you download it. you need to save it don't try to run or open it. all you need to do is get a copy of this file on your computer into the system32 folder on your computer. do not try to run the file. to get to your system32 folder you need to go to your "my computer" then go to your "local drive c" then to the "windows" folder then you go to the "system32" folder and copy the file right in there. it may ask if you want to over write a file already there. select yes. you also have to be using windows nt, 2000, or xp. after you have done the above, open microstudio and click on drives select aspi drivers then select "use the default driver" you have to close then reopen microstudio to take effect. nero's website is "ftp://ftp6.nero.com/wnaspi32.dll" then download the file. I hope this works for you, it did for me because i also have an external usb plextor. you might also want to invest in golden hawk technology's cdrwin version 3.9c. you can extract individual tracks from a cd+g karaoke or audio cd, instead of the whole cd, and copy them to an image file in your hard drive. and it works with khp. it's great. i hope i have been some help to you.

Some computers just have this problem. Our ASPI Driver will actually work without any problems with any USB or Firewire device, just so you know.

Hi
I tried the nero fix suggested and no luck. I also have cdrwin and no luck there either. Thanks for the help anyway.
I tried to burn a cd with my plextor712a with easy cd creator as suggested and here are the errors that i get

E800419727-Track writer error ASPI failure )T7121)
E80041934 track writer error Flash failed T7127
Error 80041925 track writer error command retry failed (T7118)
Error 80004005 ubspecified error

i have no problem burning with the cd-writer installed in my PC.
I am about to restore the pc to its original state and start from scratch if I don't get the plextor working. Waiting for more help
Thanks guys

Please give Plextor a call at 800-886-3935. I think that the drive may have a Problem, and they will beable to diagnose this. Please let me know what you find. If the drive is bad, it will have to go through Plextor for an RMA, since it is over 30 days from MTU.
