...my neighbors ducking the "coasters" flying out of my windows.
Hi all. Looking for some help/advice/tips. I've been using my Hp 200i for mostly data archival purposes (firmware upgrade made it a "j"; forget revision, but it's the lateset one available from HP). Recently taken to experimenting with dvd-video backups, but am having one hell of a time.
First failed attempts (using latest Nero demo & clonedvd) were no writes at all, or effed-up disks. I initially had a Hitachi dvd-rom as master with 200j as slave (as recommended by HP, or maybe it was Hitachi). I've disconnected the dvd-rom drive, placing the 200j (DMA enabled) alone as master on secondary ide channel. So now I can actually get a "successfully" completed burn. However, no playback/recognization by the pc, much less any standalone player ("no disk"). If I check disk info in Nero, I see "total capacity" of 1mb; 1 session w/ one track 2kb in length.
Now, wtf am I overlooking/doing wrong? Is it the media I'm using (Verbatim)? Other? BTW, using Verbatim -R in my a105 (on another pc) is no problem, aside from compatability issues with some stand alone players. TIA.
