CD Burn Problem with Sony CD-RW
I have a Dimension 4600 with the Sony CD-RW CRX216E drive installed. I am trying to burn some picture/data files to a CD-R and am having issues.
If I use the Windows XP CD-Writing Feature, it gets to 5 seconds left in the burn process and then tells me that there was a problem during the process. If I use Sonic RecordNow v6.5, it gets to 32 seconds left in the burn process and then encounters the following error:
Sense: 06 ASC: 29 ASCQ: 00 (Command 2A)
-------------------------------------------------------
px.dll: 1.8.34.500
pxdrv.dll: 1.1.8.0
pxmas.dll: 1.8.34.500
pxwave.dll: 1.8.34.500
pxwma.dll: 1.0.0.3
Does anyone have any suggestions on why this isn't working? I have used both the XP CD-Writing feature and RecordNow in the past, so I don't know why it's not working now.
Thanks,
The Merg

Hi The Merg,
I ran a search on the message, mostly comes up with issues with a HP drive, However it seems the article on the Upper & Lower Filters may help.
Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 12, article 10.

Well, I gave it a try and it was a no-go. I even removed the filters.bak entries as well and still had no luck. It gets to the last five seconds with the CD-Writing wizard. It says that it is preparing the CD for use and then just as it says Finished, it pops the CD out and says there was an error. The CD is still blank. It's almost as if it's not even writing to the CD to begin with.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated. As further info, I did have Roxio EZ CD Creator v6 installed at one time and unistalled it. I currently still have the Roxio CD Label Maker app still installed (it's much better than the Sonic version).
Thanks,
The Merg

Hi Merg,
I have some information from Roxio`s forum, one of their Moderators and also their Regulars on the proper procedure to uninstall / reinstall their software. Seems, the standars Add/Remove may completely remove all the files, same CD/RW site, Section 47.
Also, I believe Dell may have a firmware update for this drive as well.
Best Regards

Well, I followed the directions in order to completely remove Roxio from my system. I then rebooted and tried to use the CD Writing wizard, but got the same error I was getting before. I opted to not reinstall any of my CD Recording software prior to trying the wizard. Any other ideas would be appreciated?
Also, I could not locate a firmware update for the Sony CRX-216E CDRW...

I have determined it is not a software issue. I went to the sony site and downloaded their drive tester. Since the dell diagnostic program su cks since it doesn't test the write feature of the drive on the read, teh SOny test does both. Of course the drive reads fine and fails on the write. I am in the process of writing a letter to dell on how bad their tech support is and that they have wasted 10 hours of my life by being on the phone with them trying to system restore when I they could have just had a proper diagnostic program, the new drive would have been sent to me by now.
The drive tester is right on the sony website under support and then your model number i think it was cdx-330a.

I've had the same issue except I have a Dimension 4600. My initial contact with Dell support told me that it was a software issue (I don't believe them completely), so they would not help me. If you solve the problem, please post the results and I'll do the same.
