Create bootable media

I am trying to create a bootable disk with TI 9.0 and everytime I do I get the following error: "error burning the bootable CD-R/ CD-RW". I can't find any detail on why it failed, just that error. Does TI have a built in writer? Do a need to have an additional program installed to be able to do it?

 

Hi samper,

Yes, TI does have a built-in writer.

Try temporarily disabling third party writing programs running in background first (like Roxio Drag-to Disk).

If not enough, disable Windows' native writing tool too by right clicking on the CD drive -> Properties -> Recording -> uncheck Enable CD recording on this drive.

If still no go, start the bootable CD creation procedure with an open empty drawer, insert a blank CD when prompted and click Proceed to make the drawer close automatically.

 

What, exactly, are you writing to? Is it a CD, or a DVD?

 

Thanks for the replies.

bVolk, I don't have Roxio or any other program for burning installed. I disabled under my drive properties. When I click proceed, the drive doesn't close and I get the error right away.

Weaz, I am writing to a Imation CD-R with the nec DVD+CDRW drive that came with my dell. I just updated to latest driver and still have the same problem.

 

Please don’t take this as an insult, but this JUST happened to one of my co-workers:
Is the CD in right-side-up? The Imation CD-Rs we have do not have labeling of any kind on them to tell top from bottom.

 

Not insulted. Mine have labels, and they are in the correct way.

 

OK, LOL, you should have seen the look on the guys face when I said "Here, try this ..." and flipped the CD over.

 

Hi samper,

Seems odd that your CD/DVD drive doesn't respond when you try to close the drawer via TI's "Proceed" button. Boot your system into Windows SAFE mode and try creating the rescue CD again.

Regards

 

That worked! Thanks for your help.

 

Hi again sampler,

Glad you managed to create the rescue CD using one of the well known workarounds. As to what caused the problem? Well, it's almost certain that there is an application/service running in the background that's preventing TI from taking control of your recorder. Booting Windows into SAFE mode will have bypassed that rogue program's startup.

Regards

 

I did create a bootable media and had to restore for the first time the system. Whatr made my tremble is that the full option didn't start on my notebook - is this a problem of the media or of the notebook - sagemode works though

See II in the following link. It isn't a problem with your bootable CD, there is something that the linux version isn't compatible with in your notebook. If you aren't using USB devices you likely won't have a problem using safe mode. My desktop PC wouldn't run in Full mode but updating the BIOS (for other reasons) fixed it (it was 14 versions behind).
