Bad dvd burner?
hey
I just installed two different dvd burners on the same Vista 64 Basic machine that where brand new out of the box. One was an LG and the other was a LiteOn. Whenever I try to access them with Windows Explorer most of the time the machine just locks up and I have to push the power button to do anything with the thing. It's hard to believe that both devices are bad from the factory. Any ideas? thanks, charles.....

Bad dvd burner?
and how are they installed???..IDE cable?? SATA Cable??
if IDE cable which one is the master..which the slave?? did you change the jumpers on the back?? On an IDE cable the middle connection is the slave connection and the end is the master...and as such the burners need to be jumpered accordingly. I have run across LiteOn drives which just did not like to be the Slave... peter -- DISCLAIMER: If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.
