I have an odd problem.
If I use the windows 8.1 built in CD / DVD burning feature I can write to DVD -R with no issues (including creating a finalised ISO disk).
If I try to use ANY third party product to burn on CD / DVD the software writes the session to the disk but then hangs completely when trying to close the session. The drive just shuts down and the software is sat there doing nothing. The process can't be killed in task manager and the PC wont even restart. The only way to restart is to cycle the power on the PC.
The DVD drive is the second of 4 SATA Drives in the system and I suspect its the fact that it is SATA that is the problem.
This is independant of the media make or type I use. I know its not the drive because it works using the built in windows 8 feature. It also use to burn o.k. using imgburn and cd burner xp when I had windows 7 installed.
Has anyone encountered this problem and know what could be the cause?
Thanks in advance for any help given.
