I have had virtually no problems with my 1030 nx except for one annoying
little problem. I am trying to make an exact duplicate of a audio CD using
Record Now. Program says the disc was "created successfully" but in fact
the disc is blank. I have used the DVD burner to burn my personal photos to
CD ever since I got this PC several months ago. I have also used DVD X COPY
to make 3 back up copies of DVD's I own..so I KNOW the burner works.
BUT...it will not make a duplicate of any CD using "exact copy" in Record
Now. I also have Pyro Cakewalk installed and in the past on my old pc used
this program ALL the time to make dupicate back up copies. Now after
installing on this machine it doesn't work either. I have used the Compaq
tech support system and after messaging back and forth for the last two days
the problem is still not solved and now I'm on my 3rd tech support geek and
he is suggesting a "non destructive" re-store. I'm sorry non destructive or
not that's a little more severe answer to my problem than I'm willing to try
right now. There has to be any easier answer. We have so far..reset the
bios...un-installed the DVD burner and let XP re-install it. It was
suggested that I re-install Record Now ...well after un-installing it per
the directions from the Application Recovery program it now is not on the
list of programs available for re-install. So now I'm basically screwed on
that note. Anybody had this problem on their SR1030NX??? I can burn all the
cd's I want using drag and drop from XP's explorer window, I've been doing
that for months with personal photo's and data. BUT...ask it to make a
exact copy of a audio CD and it fails. Any ideas? sorry for the length of
this question. Any help would be appreciated...thanx in advance.
