I seem to recall a couple of years ago that I bought a DVD burner and had problems with it recognising some disks and it just behaved quite oddly. I checked around and found some comments people made about making sure you use an 80 wire IDE cable with newer faster peripherals. I had used a 40 wire IDE ribbon cable that I had floating around. Anyway swapping to the 80 wire IDE ribbon fixed it. While the peripherals and motherboard only have 40 pins, the 80 wire cables effectively have every second wire as a shield so it reduces the possibility of interference. Also - check if the DVD burner maker have any firware updates available - its worth a look. |
