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...
If i have a DMA pio problem, is there a solution for solving this?? setting back to dma and rebooting doesn't help....
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....
Installed an ASPI layer and used your guide, found here: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/33849 Donno if this one is old and if there is a newer version....
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?
hehe, that was actually the only thing i didn't want to do, but if there are really no other options i will try to make some time free to format my laptop...
Try the guide i have on my site, so far i havnt encountered a case where it didnt work http://www.hazza.dsl.pipex.com/faq.htm#ASPI
Well, used your guide, so guess i'm the first case where it didn't work (or it's not the aspi that's giving problems..)
Short of another format I dont really have much of a clue .... that's a really peculiar problem you have there!
