LOL - I'm being attacked about pitstop :0) (j/k) Nah maskeeta not elusive if you look at the history of the thread sometimes takes a bit for them to post back - maskeeta won't leave us hangin But at this point I argee a new drive is the last option.
thats the brand burners I use and they are solid little drives, and with price dropping to under $40...wow. I remember how much my first CDR burner cost...the price of that would send most of you into sticker shock. buy the liteon burner by all means.
Hey maskeeta That's a helluva price. Come to think of it my Liteon is over 2 years now (paid like $150 for it- going price then) I may just have to buy this one myself You even get a cd/dvd wallet, nero and power dvd too You meet the ram requirements - so just make sure you have a P4 w/ 1.3 GHz cpu or higher. Def. keep us posted!
Many of the new writers are cheaper than a tank of gas nowadays. Masqueeta, you really have nothing to lose, think of it as an upgrade. Reformatting a hard drive is always a last resort method. The last time i did it, it took me four days to reload all my programs. The best way of doing this is to get Ghost and save a drive image to your second hard drive. I create a new image prior to adding new hardware or periodically when I feel my system is ok. If I have problems that I can't handle, I just restore the last image. It takes about 15 minutes and I'm back to normal. It's been a life saver to me.
maskeeta- I just looked at newegg and I don't see that the drive is on back order. Are you looking at the same drive I bought yesterday? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106019
this is the one i got, the model number is differnt from yours. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106013
And you are right! I pulled up the wrong model #. That one is still listed as, "In Stock". When you tried to purchase it did it tell you that it was on back order?
no it didnt say anything. i just got an email this morning. theyre taking 15 dollars off the total price, so now its only 25 with shipping included. just hope it ships soon enough
it actaully looks like its shipping now, its on "Step 5". no, no promo code, i think it was because of the back order thing
just checking just make sure you unplug the power from the pc then push the start button to discharge any stored left over power then discharge yourself to the side case befor you stick your hands in the case
Damn maskeeta you lucked out - $25!! Too bad I didn't After you get the drive - if you need help installing just post back. Depending on when the drive was manufactured you may need a firmware update. So check which version you have - the latest is PS02 from 5/25/06. http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=153 You can booktype +R discs w/ Nero or the Liteon Utility (to name 2). Here's a link for the utility: http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=152 If you're in step 5 your order has been shipped - so next few days you will have it. Keep us posted!
