Errors Burning DVD
Can not get a DVD burned without the following Message: "Error updating menu 1 of 1 (Menu writing phase) Error code = 0X80004005".
Using Roxio Media Creator 7.5; Dell 8400 with 3.0 HT; 1gb RAM; Toshiba SD-R5372 with latest firmware update.
No problems with CDs, only DVDs.

Thanks for the info, but I haven't been able to find out if the drive setting is DMA or PIA mode. Where will I find that?
Thanks!

Hi Charles,
Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 15, articles 14 & 17.

Thanks again for you help. My current settings are:
Device 0
Transfer Mode - DMA if available
Current Transfer Mode - Ultra DMA Mode 2
Device 1
DMA if available
Current Transfer Mode - PIO Mode
Apparently my channel two devices (CD\RW and/or the Toshiba DVD\RW) will not accept DMA mode??
The settings for the master and the slave are identical; i.e. device type, timing, etc. Shoould this be as one is only a CD\RW and the other a DVD\RW?
Thanks!

Hi Charles,
I need to take a step back and my apologies for not covering this first. The Toshiba is not a Dell installed drive, so I should have asked about the jumper settings right up front.
Lets see if we can correct this. Go to Device Manager, select the CD/RW drive, click Uninstall, next select the DVD/RW and click Uninstall, now shutdown. Dell ships their systems using the Cable Select Jumper Feature, in a nut shell you set the small plastic jumper on the back of the drive over the two pins labeled CS, CSEL, (Cable Select) and location on the cable determines Master/Slave, End connection being Master drive.
Double check the setting and use Cable Select, move the DVD/RW to the Top Bay, end connection; move the CD/RW to the Second Bay, middle connection.
Next enter the BIOS and verify that the IDE channel is set to Auto and that both drives are on.
Now start Windows and see if the drive works and is running in DMA mode.
Best Regards

Am happy to report that both drives are now in ultra DMA mode 2 after opening the "box" and swithching the drives. Both are correctly recognized in the BIOS and the hardware properties. Thanks for helping me get this straightened out. Will report later on DVD burning.
Thanks again.

Hi Charles,
About all I could find on this either said firmware or software problem. Since you have updated the firmware, double check that the drive is running in DMA mode and not PIO mode.
Then consider uninstalling / reinstalling Roxio. I read one thread (in Tech Support Guy Forum) recommending Roxio Zap for version 7 as well, I know it was used in the past for versions 5 & 6 for a "clean" uninstall, the thread was dated Aug 8th or 9th of 2005.
Here is the link to the tool:
