| 181227 | 2003-10-08 00:50:00 | Is it possible to run two cd writers on the same computer .Say i've got a p4.Can i run an internal and external cd writer at the same time?It'll make cd copying faster^_^ | yingxuan (3330) | ||
| 181228 | 2003-10-08 01:01:00 | i wouldnt think so, buffer overrun or something.... i guess i'm answering all ur qs today ying.. Nero does this just fine, you just run 2 instances of the program. you will likely find that you need to have the drives on separate IDE channels. and www.alcohol-software.com and www.padus.com those 2 websites are programs that can do that... nero can too but the IDE channel needs 2 be differerent |

| 181229 | 2003-10-08 01:05:00 | Lol yeah.you're answering all my questions today but there is one post that hasnt been answered.^_^ and that is can winrar files can be opened using winzip and vice versa | yingxuan (3330) | ||
| 181230 | 2003-10-08 01:05:00 | seperate ide channels means sperate drives right? | yingxuan (3330) | ||
| 181231 | 2003-10-08 01:07:00 | I think you would have to have a real multiuser operating system. If you start one copy, then start a second one, one is going to be in the background, at a lower priority than the other. Unless it's a very fast computer, you're going to get a good collection of partially written CDs. Instead of being twice as fast, it might be infinitely slow. :_| | Graham L (2) | ||
| 181232 | 2003-10-08 01:08:00 | i wouldnt know lol.. did a google on ide channels.. www.google.com and with winzip opening winrar...dont think thats possible... u can download winrar free, and that would do ur winrar files..and zip files according to website... http://www.rarlab.com/ |

| 181233 | 2003-10-08 01:09:00 | i personally think u should just write 1 cd at a time...mite get both done faster than having 2 being written at once... | csinclair83 (200) | ||
| 181234 | 2003-10-08 01:11:00 | yes you can, but i dont know how well your system will deal with it, you can easily copy from one cd-rom to a cd-writer, but i think you will me more than likely to run into buffer overflow errors if you try to write to more than one cd-writer at a time. | Budda (2736) | ||
| 181235 | 2003-10-08 01:12:00 | Hmm yes thanks for the help.IT will actually be faster to copy one disc at a time.The site says winrar can deal with zip files but the winzip site didn't meantion rar files are compatible. Well.thanks again and im off to eat my bowl of noodles |

| 181236 | 2003-10-08 01:13:00 | theres always this quote "dont know till you try" so u could just try it with 2 cd-rws...so u dont lose cds etc.. and if it works then it works.. if it doesnt...then u know what to do... 1 cd at a time :-) |
