One improves by participating; hopefully, helping others in the process.

i got a reply from sony tech support like 2 weeks after i emailed them:
"You need to have the Sony drive set as master of the secondary channel with no other drive connected. Also use the EIDE cable that came with the Sony drive, not one from your system. Then you need to get any BIOS and Motherboard updates from your PC manufacturer and any Windows updates from Microsoft, including the latest Version of Direct X which should be 9.0C."
[Edit: id like to add that i tried to reflash my BIOS from intel with the latest updates they had which was back in 2004 i think, they stopped updating my board not sure if i did it properly wasnt your typical firmware type install tool, ran some crap in dos which didnt look like anyhting was going on...eitherway bios is fine] also i had the latest chipset tool so meh i always update to latest everythign when i got troble, problem is with windows at the moment i believe
are EIDE supposed to be the faster cables, im pretty sure it looked identicle to the one in my drive now, lemme post a picture,
http://eyestorms.silent-creation.net/Downloads/CABLE.jpg
as for company tech support alot of the time they suck, i called the one where i baught my computer [MDG in canada] and i asked the guy about switching from PIO to DMA modes after my channels been disabling itself blah blah, and the guy said i wasnt under warrenty after a year, i said i had extended warrenty hes like oh after 2 years no...when clearly i should be but w/e he seemed lost anyway lol i was so tempted to call back and complain that my computer was listing "a:\ as floppy, does that mean its broken? why is it floppy? why is my c:\ hard?" lol
anywho u guys may be interested to know that windows disables the second IDE after each time i turn the computer on, it reinstalls it and then disables it.WEIIIIIIIRRRRRD

A lot of people use a ROM and burner configuration and the factory PCs come configured that way. Sony might like to have their drive as the only one on a channel, but that isn't the way it happens in the real world. The cables appeared to be the same.
You mentioned April as the earliest you could format and reinstall the OS. Hope you can hold out that long (12 more days). From the sound of things, the system is corrupted to the point that may be the best solution.

some random notes from my instruction manual
not really important as i know my burner works when windows and drivers arent working against me as it did from decemeber to febuary perfectly
Package contents:
40-pin ATAPI (IDE) flat cable <--sounds to me like its not EIDE? am i confusing myself
Picture of sony cable given:
http://eyestorms.silent-creation.net/Downloads/cable2.jpg or below
Sytem requirements:
One available EIDE (ATAPI) interface connection with DMA cabability*
*the drive does not support ATAPI, therefor do not connect it to the IDE (ATAPI) interface connector of your computer motherboard [what the hell does that mean :S]
do u guys recommend i format with my old samsung CD-RW installed then swithc to the sony? dunno if that would make a dif, i dont see why it would so i assume thats a no

All of those cable's you have provided pictures to are 40wire cabels. You need to pick up some 80wire/40pin IDE cable's and give them a try. :-)

Please Please Please Please either remove Intel Application Accelerator from "Add and Remove Programs once and for all, or re-install it with Intel's update on their website. Those are your drivers and that has to be right, one way or another!
Either Intel?s Drivers or Windows Drivers, your choice!

hey guys. it's me again. got yet ANOTHER PROBLEM. I've successfully burned two DVD's with my 2x DVD-R's. Now I am trying to burn another one and im having a problem. After Nero has transcoded all the episodes I am burning, the little preview screen freezes on the last episode and Nero begins to burn. It gets 50% through and ejects the DVD. IT DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THERE IS AN ERROR. This has happened to me twice now. Any ideas what's wrong?
