8400 2001-02-06 18:38:00 Recently my a-open cdrw9624 writer has stopped writing after 90 mb or so. Had CD writer lens cleaned, hard drive has been defragged etc still no improvement. Power supply fan was cutting out so had it replaced to no avail. Writer worked fine for 15 months before this. Worth replacing whole power supply or cd writer? System is PIII 500, 128 mb ram,3Gb free on hard drive. Guest (0)
8401 2001-02-07 05:35:00 Sounds like a data streaming problem to me. It could be a problem with the speed your hard drive is pushing the data through to the writer. Go to www.cdmediaworld.com for detailed info on burning cd's and problems related to it. Cheers Mark Guest (0)

8403 2001-02-07 13:35:00 Hi, How long have you had Adaptec and Nero on you system together. The two programs can cause all sorts of problems on the same system. Are they music or data cds you are writing? If they are music check your ASPI files, a recently installed program could have overwritten them with older ones. But I reccomend you dump either Nero or Adaptec
Cheers

Uninstalled nero before trying adaptec,using uninstall from control panel. However I think I may have to reformat and start from scratch. Same problem with data or music.
