    Packet burning programs? The only burning programs i have installed are Nero (version 5.5) and Alcohol 120% (version 1.4.8)

    Checked my ide settings (for the fifth time or so) and found out that my secondairy ide, device 0 was set back to PIO, so deleted it and rebooted to let windows auto-install it. Next burned an other cd-rw and failed again. :(

    If you have a DMA pio problem, you dont need to uninstall-reboot because that wont fix it ... when windows finds it again it will prolly be slated to PIO again. Just change it from PIO to DMA and reboot :)

    I uninstalled the driver because when i change it to "dma, if available" and reboot, it won't change to dma :( So i guessed it was the only option to uninstall and autoinstall again...

    Is it possible in BIOS they are set to PIO rather than DMA or AUTO?

    Checked my bios, but couldn't find anything anywhere that has something to do with the cd-drive :(

    BTW, just tried to burn several images (on a cd-rw) and found out that burning with nero i can succesfully burn a Iso file, but using alcohol i can't burn bin/cue files or iso files....

    Could it be an ASPI issue?

    If you got the one from my website (www.hazza.dsl ....) then its version 4.60-1021 which is by far the most stable. Did it solve the problem? :)

    Will it mind if i try to use other burn programs (free ones) or would that be a waste of time?
