ATAPI Error Help
ATAPI Errors are communication errors in the ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface) interface between your computer and the connected CD-ROM drives and tape backup drives.
Introduction
SCSI or ATAPI errors (i.e. all errors except transfer speed errors) may occur during recording.
An error code describing the drive status is displayed when a problem occurs during recording. This code is retrieved from the information within the drive itself, not B's Recorder GOLD, and it is useful in understanding the cause of the problem or the drive status.
Error Code List
Check the error code displayed against the Error Code List to find the cause of the problem, then refer to the corresponding suggested actions.
Refer to the 3rd and 4th digits of the error code, then click on the corresponding 2 digits in the left frame to find the error code in the list. For example, if the error code displayed is 53050105, the corresponding error code in the list is 050105, so click **05**** in the left frame.
Note: |
- Some
error codes are maker unique and may not be displayed in the Error Code List.
