I have a Dell Dimension, 80gig, XP home unit. Lite-on DVD drive and use DVDX Copy software. I have followed the install instruction completely. the unit reads/rips without problem, then asks me to insert a blank DVD+R, which I do, then NOTHING. the blinking lite on the drive goes out and no action is taken......any help, suggestions, recommendation etc etc?? Thanks! - Dan Sisler
herbsman, thanks, I have posted there, here and everywhere hoping to get an answer. You dont by chance have one for my prb do you?
sorry mate , I would NEVER use DVDxCopy ! My method: DVD Decrypter DVD2One Nero 6 Ultra (I dont trust 321 Studios software)
perhaps the software isnt the problem? i am confident it is all hooked up correctly as per the instructions, why would the drive power down after the disc is inserted? finicky media brand?
Possibly , I wouldnt have thought so tho cos I'd imagine you would have a burn under way then it'd stop & give an error msg I trust Ritek G04 Grade A media the most & I have tried quite a few different media.
[bold]Got it from NewEgg $97 delivered FedEx. I've used Lite-On cd-rw drives and have had excellent results consistently. This one is great! It is a bit slow to start up, but that's not a problem. And, this is one quiet drive. Bundled software in retail box isn't good. I've used DVDXCopy Xpress, but I prefer DVD Shrink and ImgToolBurn (also have Nero5.5). My standalone players read the discs without a hitch. Highly recommended...great price. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments posted by CoachDon, October 28, 2003. Rated this writer 10 of 10.

Have been using DVD Decryptor and DVD Shrink. ^^ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments posted by skitzel, October 03, 2003.
