Got a dvd writer last week. didnt get it working at all. PC shop installed it. just got it back from them for 2nd time and still not working. they asked me to restore pc to factory settings as this helps somtimes. didnt work.
i have tried burning with nero 6 and sonic - my dvd (supplied with drive). and 2 diff types of dvd discs (i can use any blank dvd i was told in this drive)
on nero i get a comunication error and sonic i get unknown device error, please check on device.
When i open files on the drive it seems to crash after about 30 seconds. i got a song playing thru win media player for about 20 seconds then said i had a i/o device error
the drive has been replaced with another one identical and it was the same problems, the drives have been put in other machines and work so it is a problem with my pc.
For some reason i dont have apsi drives on my pc so downloaded ones for win 95/98/200 etc.
I have xp on pc but couldnt get the ones for xp working. The checker from adaptec sayd they r workin ok. can still use my cd/rw fine.
anyone got any ideas?
Cheers in advance
