| 508284 | 2006-12-20 10:17:00 | not my own dvd drive but i think this drive s a liteon SOHW-1673S or similar it can no longer write cds successfully when burning with nero or burnatonce both fails if data cd the disc after being burnt is unreadable if audio cd the disc can be..well.. half read.. you can hear some audio but with loads of clicks and pops and random hiss sorta stuff just mucked up audio pretty much dvd writing is fine and reads fine so is cd reading..but only burning not working um..one more piece of info this dvd drive is connected on secondary ide and is set to master on the same channel a hdd is connected as slave i know this might slow the hdd down (?) but shouldn't stop the drive from writing cds..right? if anyone got any ideas i'll love to hear them |

| 508285 | 2006-12-20 19:09:00 | Put the burner on secondary Master. And the hdd on Primary Master. If you've only got 1 hdd and 1 burner. It may make a diff. |

| 508287 | 2006-12-20 20:17:00 | Not sure about this, but aren't there different lasers used depending upon if a CD or DVD is burnt? One of them might be faulty. | Jen (38) | ||
| 508288 | 2006-12-21 04:13:00 | thought about that the weird thing is how if the cd laser is damaged..it still manages to read..um.. |

| 508289 | 2006-12-21 04:34:00 | I think a burner has 2 lasers. One for reading and a stronger one for burning. Which is why it can read, if its still under warranty take it back and replace it. |

| 508290 | 2006-12-21 10:23:00 | ic..so would that mean a dvd writer drive have 4? one for dvd read then one for dvd write then cd read and cd write? or is it cd/dvd read one laser cd/dvd write one laser? just out of interest..the above questions.. |
