Still having write problems! Help!!

[Grant Bearden]

I reinstalled three times, with two different versions, and triple checked
everything. I get the following error now. Getting this error, Write Error write blocks:Track following error.
I'm pulling the rest of my hair out!

I don't know if this will help: but if you moved your wav file or renamed a folder where it was located after you saved it, the cue sheet will not load properly, as the information is out of date. You will have to edit the cue sheet to have it "point" to the right location.

The other thing that has happened to me is that I was receiving errors (don't remember which WRITE FAIL errors); my solution was to put in a new CD-RW drive. For some reason, my original drive stopped working with EAC. I'm now using 2 drives: one for reading and one for writing. Seems to put less stress on the CD-RW drive.

No, I have't moved anything. I'm doing the same as always, from my Downloads to drag, and drop the converted FLAC files to the CD Layout Editor as usual. I do apprciate your time in thinking about helping me, as to you are the only one who is trying to help me. Thanks!

I was thinking of that option. What is the best driveto use with EAC? It seems DELL is putting in some cheap hardware with the towers now!

I had an extra CDRW drive at work and I'm using that. It's a LITE ON. I've noticed that other users use PLEXTOR.

You may want to try (in the program) EAC, Drive, Writer, put in a blank CDR and use the Detect Write Features as a form of calibration.

And while you are in there, put in an audio CD and check the Read section (autodetect).

Also, EAC, EAC options, Write, and check the "Disable Copy Protection Flag..."

You also may want to copy and move the WAV files to a new, temp folder, perhaps on your Desktop and try dragging and dropping them from there into EAC.

Just some suggestions.

Good luck!
