The drive shows up in Retrospect as:

 

Vendor: HL-DT-ST

Product: DVDRAM GSA-4082B

Revision: A201

Location: USB CD:3

 

The knowledgebase article refers only to SCSI in relation to this error.

 

Any idea what would cause this on a USB DVD drive?

Hi

 

There are a lot of posibilites. The error indicates that Retrospect lost communication with the disk or the drive. Here are a few things to try:

Try disabling any other burning software.

Try a different cable or USB port.

Try installing ASPI using the ASPIINST.exe utility in the Retrospect folder.

Try a different brand/type/speed of media.

 

Thanks

Nate

Problem solved - I reduced the write-speed in Retrospect to "Slow" (still about 90MB/min)

and reran the same archive job, and the problem went away. The verify ran with no

errors, at an average speed of 460 MB/min. Cool!
