Thanks, Zander. That's an excellent point. Mine is always running so it didn't occur to me that not everyone's is!.
Hotaru I use Paint Shop Pro which does that relatively easily using its 'layers' feature, as in making montages. I think it costs around $100,...
Hi Matt I'd vote for another 512 MB for a young man who'll use the computer heavily. That should make a noticeable improvement.
Sounds like power supply may have failed. You need to try the drives as slave in another computer before attacking the motherboard! And if they...
jaylach Note that I said you can do drag and drop (=packet writing) to CD-Rs in Roxio. I've done it for years, even back when it was Adaptic....
Since you're 'burning in' your new hardware under warranty, this is a good place to start work on the problem. It seems to turn out to be...
From your first post: and you were wondering about Windows being the culprit. Think we excluded that source of trouble and narrowed it down....
Has it ever burned RWs? Did a quick search and found this page which lists you number as doing only CD-Rs in their test. Sony's support web...
Thanks for the reply. You proved that the drive is not at fault and the problem has to be with the disk that you couldn't read. :( Might have...
Bill PS Tray Factory v1.9 is free to try and P C World says it should work.

The modern programs are designed with exactly that in mind, e.g., Drag-to-Disk and InCD. Been doing it for years. And yes, I too copy the...
To answer the questions re:RW disks, you don't need to format them to reuse them; you can just erase them. However, that requires that the write...
We know it can read older disks; want to know if it can read a newly written disk, preferably written on a fresh CD-R (not CD-RW), and if another...
You showed that the read laser is working, but you can't read what the write laser wrote. Could mean the write laser is out. Try writing a disk...
Agree with oshwyn5. If you rebuild, suggest you get a new power supply; wouldn't subject a new board to one struck by lightning or something...
Right, sounds like the drive's good. Next, close one of the disks you write (the window should ask if you want to prepare the disk to be used in...
I never have to 'close' the CD or DVD I'm using with Drag-to-Disk (Roxio), even when it's removed from the drive and later re-inserted, and the...
What happens when you look at a comercial disk, like the roxio disk or a windows installation disk? Can you see the files and folders in...
That has nothing to do with the HDD. Try entering BIOS Setup to reorder boot priorities to floppy, CD, and HD0, or CD, floppy, HD0. You may...
