I have a Lite ON CDR drive set to master with a Lite On DVD ROM drive set to slave on an IDE chain and the other IDE chain has my 2 Hard drives (Master/Slave). If I get a DVD+/- R drive where will I put it. Can it be the Slave with the CDR drive as Master (Replacing the crappy DVD ROM) or does...

I've noticed that these are available for £20 + p&p in the UK, which is a very cheap price for a DVD burner. I don't currently have a DVD burner, except for the Matsu****a POS on my work-supplied laptop. I would like to set up our home computer as a DVD recorder with some (not yet chosen) DVB-T...

Seems as if it is fubar after SP2 install. Is anyone still using it? If so, did you have to turn off Autorun to make it verify? thanks

I see Plextor is not making DVD-ROM drives. Who makes the highest quality drives now? Needs to rip well - fast and accurate.

As I understand it Norton Ghost v9 will write directly to a DVD+RW and CDRW disks. As Ghost also claims to allow incremental backups I assume packet writing in the background is involved. Is this correct? If this is correct is imaging by Norton Ghost directly to DVD+RW unreliable?

I downloaded 3 compressed files numbers 1,2,3 which made up a hole program called Adobe Acrobat. Once unzipped a ISO file of 208 MB was my program.

Is there a performance problem using a DVD RW that was made as an internal drive and putting it into an external USB 2.0 case? I ask because this seems a lot less expensive way to go than purchasing an external DVD RW USB drive. TIA -- Louise

I just installed a new (second) hard drive. I have a Plexwriter 12/10/32A that has worked flawlessly. I tried burning a data cd and when I try to see the contents using Windows Explorer all I get is the total amount of disk space used and what is remaining. No data shows in the right hand pane. ...

I recently ordered what I believed to be Mitsui cd-r's for audio recording. The Web retailer (American Digital) has them listed as Mitsui MAM-A. Little did I know, until later investigation, that MAM-A is an Italian company that has purchased the Mitsui patent/process. These cd-r disks are...

Hi. I have a 40/32/10 Diamond Data cd writer and it is having problems. Every now and then XP pro fails to see the device as a writer and believes it to be just a cdrom. Nero also sees this and will only allow me to burn an image. I have flashed the bios on the device and still get the problem. It...
