Problems Burning CD/DVDs???
 

Greetings To The Collected Wisdom,
Everytime I try and a disc, either CD or DVD, from my secondary/slave harddrive it fails. Why? If I want to burn something I have to transfer it to my primary harddrive. Is there something I am missing? THanks

Specs:
2.6P4HT
1.25G of 3200 RAM
Windows XP SP2
Nero 6

What is your hard drive, CD/DVD drive arrangements? 2 HDs on the same cable on IDE1? Do you have one CD drive and one DVD drive? Or a combo CD/DVD drive? The rest of the computer geeks need more info to help you. Defrag both your HDs.

Could be timeouts from your slaved drive.

Are you getting any error, or just failed?

Sorry. Here is some more info:
I have two harddrives (two 200G Seagates) and they are not raided in any fashion. They are on the same IDE cable. I have two DVD drives and my burner is a Pioneer DVR-108. Everytime I try and burn a disc the buffer never reaches full and quickly disappears and and Nero tells me that the burn failed. Is there any hope? Suggestions? Ideas? Thanks

I don't have any advice but if it makes you feel any better, whenever I would try to burn a DVD it would start and then say that there was no disc found in the drive. I was so frustrated cuz I had bought all these DVD-Rs for a video class and I had several left over. I didn't even really want to burn a DVD, just wanted to test out my crap. So then I said "maybe it will only work with the H/P brand DVD's for some reason," so I used the one they gave me in the box and it worked fine. Then my dumbass realized that I had a DVD+R drive and not a DVD-R drive. Boy was my face red.

If I were you, I'd check out the forums atCdfreaks.com
They specialize in this sort of stuff and have helped me with all of my burning needs. Sorry, I can't help you myself, I just don't know enough about it.
