Pioneer 105 crashing

I've had this drive for some time now and just lately it's been mis-behaving. When doing dvd backups using DVD Decrypter it tends to crash around 66%. Using Nero, it would complete the burn 100% but then I would get the message "Could not perform end of disc-at-once"

The firmware is 1.33
Datawrite classic 2x DVDR
Hi Spec PC
Nero 5.5.1042

I'm also fortunate to have a Pioneer 106 and use the same media with good results.

Could my poor old 105 be on it's last legs? Or are there settings I could tweak somewhere?

Cheers
 
Wouldnt Use that media at all could be your problem <> the 106 can handle em but your 105 may not

My Advice is Always use Ritek die DVDR then its NOT the media (except in extreme cases) but as U surmise it could indeed be the burner.
 
I had this same prob after I install Instant Copy 8 ... it messed with me my hardware ... said it found my hardware needed tweaking .. then rebooted ... tryed burnign in Nero .. geting error coudn't burn at once ... had me puzzled for while ..then it clicked ... so I uninstalled ... rebooted ..had no probs again ..
 
Thanx for the info guys ;) Nero also reports illegal media, so I'm hoping a switch of media will do the trick. I will certainly try the ritek.
Any particular name of disc? Or do I just look for 'Ritek' You do have to remember I am a blonde, but lovely all the same :D
I'm located in the UK....could you recommend a site?

Thanx again
