Ok,
Here we, go. I'm running an "HP" Pavillion 7850, 933mhz Pent. 3, with 384mb of ram. I've been through several cd-burners. All of them never wrote at speeds higher than 16x. I just bought this Sony CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. It installed fine. It's drivers are showing no signs of confliction. Here's the prob. When burning it shows no problems and just about always finishes (in Nero 6.0), saying burning complete at 48x....yada yada. But when playing back the audio discs, there's always something wrong towards the end of the discs. I'm buning on Sony 700mb cd-r's and i've never had a prob. w/ them. When I start a burn, it sounds like everythings ok. You hear the drive start burning (it burns in flashes), but more often then not it sounds like it's hanging up or something around the end of the disc. I've never had a burner that runs like this...(burning in flashes) rather than kicking in and the light staying on till it's done. the light just flashes away... I'll also add that I have a Pioneer DVD-R/RW installed and have no brobs w/ it. I hope someone can help...thanks
