I don't know what else to do or where to go from here. First of all, I'm running Windows XP on an Athlon XP 2400+ on a biostar MB, 1Gb of PC3200 DDRram, 8Gb & 80Gb HDDs, HP dvd200i 2.4x dvd+r burner and an NEC ND3520 DL dvd+r burner...that being said, here's my story.
- I haven't had to need to burn anything in awhile until recently. I went to put a blank in the drive (dvd200i, I didn't get the NEC until later), fired up nero (upgraded to the working version for windows XP of course), started burning a dvd from the harddrive, instant read buffer overflow after a second. Just enough to ruin the disc.
- I shake my head and try it again. Same thing.
- I try and burning a CD instead of a DVD. Same thing.
- I try and flash the hardware. Same thing.
- I re-install the drivers. Same thing.
- I wipe the harddrive and do a clean install of Windows and Nero and all drivers. Same thing.
- Order a new DVD drive online. Install it. Same thing.
- Install all new IDE cables. Same thing.
I really really really don't know what else to do. When I reinstalled windows and installed the new drive, I opened the case, dusted everything carefully, and put in new IDE cables. Prior to getting the new drive, it was set up {IDE1 Master = 80Gb HDD} {IDE2 Master = HP dvd200i} {IDE2 Slave = 52x CD-ROM drive}. After I received it and rearranged everything, it was {IDE1 Master = 8Gb HDD} {IDE1 Slave = NEC ND3520 DL dvd+r burner} {IDE2 Master = 80Gb HDD} {IDE2 Slave = HP dvd200i}. Nothing I have done has yield any changes. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
