I have 4 dvds made with no errors, 2 verbatim 16X at 12X and 2 fugicrappers(fugiflim) 8X at 8X.

my first 4 gave errors on nero, I then changed sata connections it was on the via vt6421a card and the sata 2 connection on the mobo (asrock sata 2)

tried 2 verbatims at 16X and 2 then 2 fugis at 8X all where blahg,I got 1 verbatim to go at 16X so far tho.

what do you want because only the fugis are at 8X the verbatim might be 12 or 16 X...or I can always do another disc.

Try using Imgburn instead of Nero to burn your dvd media.

Hi,

I suspect, there is some issue with the controller (or its driver) you are using to operate your drive.
Make sure, the controller your optical drive is connected to, is not set to RAID or AHCI.
Also, try to run the controller without drivers from the manufacturer (exception: VIA SATA controllers, there you should install the latest drivers from viaarena.com)

I didn't mean it that way.

When building or purchasing a pc you need to have it setup/build to your needs. Both hardware and software.

and if I could afford such things I would not have to scrap buy with teh cheapest parts I can find....

Plus you always run into nuances with "compatible" hardware,oh the horrors of a sata on some older NF chipsets, or worse yet the HDD mobo issue where you have to jump it on the fly or simply remove the jumper....I kinda miss the jumpers...sata needs a hardware based compatible/mode switch so you can force the wonky PnP to behave....

Pnp is at best 90% you can always find something that dose not like something else.

BTW know a good IDE/sata card?

I don't know whats worse jumper hell (trying moving 10 durign a install process and then tweak it 5 times and keeping your sanity) or PNP issues than can temporally brick stuff in certain combinations...prehaps I need a USB/sata DVD drive box....but I bet there would be issues with that LOL

Wouldn't a pci sata controller card be enough for you? Or was there a reason why you need a ide/sata controller card?

I still have 2-4 IDE devices so I am clingy to the IDE spec and want a solid card that has both,because if I upgrade a new mobo might not have IDE, I just like keeping my bases covered.

looking up some sata/ide combos
oh sht
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16816102064

serves them right for going 100% china >> who needs quality control when you sale at 2-3X the cost.....


ok..maybe a high LOW brand...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16816132009
not to bad



uhg it seems without any solid chipsets and manufactures to make it going hybrid sata/ide is just inbreeding quality ><


why is it all the sata cards are either 20$ or 100+.......

all I want is a 2 port sata 2 card that dose not suck ><
ggaaa looking threw video cards is easier X_X

Read around the forum even more, and you will find even more issues with Promise controllers. It's not very often that you find people chosing a port on a Promise controller for an ODD around here.

So much for being a "high" brand I guess adaptech is the only real one left that offers a mid range line at 50+

are there any worth while cheap cards?

get a cheap pci sata controller card from geeks.com for $20.99.
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...114-4R&cat=CCD

Most newer motherboards will only offer 1 ide connection which is why it would be best to get a sata hard drive then you can use that 1 ide connection for your optical drives.

What chipset does your mainboard have? This is an important information.

It depends. Some SATA controllers (mostly integrated ones) offer an "IDE compatible mode".

Btw. Discussions about IDE controllers would suit better in the General Hardware forum. Also there are some (sticky) threads about PCI IDE controllers worth reading.
