Me again, yes, I've been posting problems a lot lately, so here's the new one.
My Optorite DVD RW DD0405 burner has always acted messed up, ever since it was newly installed since my computer was freshly put together. The problems: autoplaying discs only half the time, not detecting media at all a quarter of the time, while burning in Nero, it will stop at an undetermined time while burning and just plain stop and be unresponsive, I have to shut down the computer and restart just to be able to eject the thing.
There is no change in the media, sometimes it works, sometimes not. I use Maxell DVD-R discs and Memorex CD-Rs.
Autoplay is on.
I have just upgraded Nero and these problems have increased, I will try to install Nero again after a full install if suggested, but their server is sooooo sloooow for updates, takes 3 hours to get one single 24 meg update with my 3 meg cable ISP.
I also get these errors when reading data from DVD's and CD's that are data and have been checked and finalized by the same burner, the errors are along the lines of "data redundancy error".
I feel like taking my MadDog (NEC) combo drive out of my old AMD machine and using it, but the Optorite is newer. Which do you think is better, the NEC MadDog or the Optorite?
I have updated the firmware twice for the Optorite, but have only one DVD-R left, I might take trip tomorrow and get some more media so I can test the firmware upgrade.
