My Plextor 401240A has expired after about 3.5 years of use (error code 9, pickup failed to move properly). Assuming I can't fix it, I'll need a replacement drive. Since this system is old anyway, it doesn't make sense to go top dollar again. So I'm thinking about picking up a cheap "Lite On"...

Everybody seems to recommend Liteon, so when Office Max reduced their clearance price on the SOHW-1673SX external burner to $60 (from Monday's $80) I bought one. If somebody has one, could they tell me if it will work with DVD Shrink 3.2, DVD Decrypter (and Fab Decrypter), 123 Copy DVD, I copy DVD...

I am interested in buying ECDC5 Platinum -Full retail version new or used one at reasonable price. If any user has a spare copy of the software, if used one the setup should be without any problem. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi, I made an .mdf/.mds image of a cd using alcohol. It works fine, but if I copy the .mdf file (even copying it to the same hard drive) I always show that there is 1 byte or so of error. As far as I can tell the image and the copy of the image both work fine, but there is always 1 error, no...

Is there any difference between the Nero 6 retail package and the OEM package?

A while ago I bought a Liteon external burner, which is conncted to my XP computer. One of attributes of this particular burner is that it can be used with Win '98SE and my back-up computer has a fast enough processor to be within specs. With the burner came some form of Nero, Nero Express I...

Good day... I just picked-up a Pacific Digital External USB2 52X32X52X CD-RW dirt cheap (The power supply is missing). Can anyone tell me the details on the power supply's label? Any PD External USB drive should do. TIA, Ryton.

Hello Folks, I'm having some problems with an HP 8200 Series (8220e, 8230e it says on the back) USB writer on Win2k. It's been detected by Win2k using the latest USB drivers from HP alright, but I'm having problems finding the best software for this writer. HP RecordNow works fine but it is a...

Could anyone please e-mail me a copy of this program or tell me where I can download a copy (other than the Arrowkey website)? Kind regards.

Just curious, can I use my CD-R as an audio recorder -- say recording radio input via soundcard direct to CD-R like a tape recorder -- it would make a handy time programmable recorder to listen later in the day for example. Most of the s/ware I see focuses on recording audio from mp3 or ripped...

I just installed a DVD-burner (Gigabyte) to my PC. I can access the drive from any apps except Nero 5.5. Only the image recorder is available. I would like to avoid Nero 6 because I backup my work directory which contains a total of 500 files onto DVD and Nero 6 takes a long time to determine...

I got the Stomp system at ww.allthingsdvd.com. Great label design software and labels!

Using win 2000, on boot up the bios see's the cd device and the writer software also see's the cd drive but when checking its properties doesnt recognize it as a writer. Tried re-installing the software, changed over cables, tried it as a secondary master (changing the tab) with same result. Any...

Hi, I have done a lot of looking around, and found out some troubleshooting steps to take, but I can only tell you what happened. Several months ago my CD-RW drive worked: it played CDs, CD-ROMs, and I could burn CDs and rip them to the hard drive. Now I seem to be without a paddle, because the...
