I just bought a Lite-On 166 DVD-Rom drive. The drive is in an XP home machine with a 2.5 Celeron and 384GB of memory. The drive reads all pressed discs fine but won't read any CD-Rs or DVD-Rs or DVD+Rs. It will either lock up or if I try ripping it will start racking up errors. DMA is...

I have a 52x Pacific Digital CD-RW and Roxio 5.3.2.4 doe snot seem to like it... anyone else have that problem? The only reason I stick with Roxioio is the SOUNDSTREAM and DIRECT CD... does any other software offer this?

For example how does the pickup know that it is located at track number 8467? a) Is it...

I'm using Roxio Easy CD Creator. I just downloaded the latest update/version. If I format a CD-RW for all music and decide later that I want to use it for all data, how can I reformat it to accept data files? Right now, the "Format" option is grayed-out so that I can't click on it. Thanks in...

I usually don't complain about a company's Web site, but when a site is THIS bad something has to be said... I tried to purchase a product called "Ringtone Maker" from their site. When I clicked "Purchase", the page was blank. Hmmm. Maybe a browser problem, I thought. So I switched from Firefox to...

I know that firmware controls cd drives. But then drivers control cd drives. My question is 'What is the difference between firware and drivers'? Thanks Andy --

Can anyone tell me why both my CD Rom and CDRW are both running very slowly? They both take ages to start reading a disk and if I run a performance test they score really low Both drives are on the same bus but worked well previously, as I recently reformatted my hard drive I think the problem...

After burning, does Nero announce the fact that burnproof had to actually be used to make the disc? I know it says that the program is ready, just in case, but I'd like to know if at any time during the burn it needed the feature. Thanks, Norm Strong
