Please see my previous posting regarding not even being able to make it play CD's or DVD's let alone start writing to them - I really would like to get this thing going! Help! Please!! Should I just send it back to Ebuyer? Perhaps another one won't work either?

Same drive with Time Powerstation. Either won't recognise any DVDs, gives power calibration error or writes unreadable discs. Works fine on cds though. Has anyone had any luck returning this to Time the £1 a minute support line puts me off ringing them up

Moonbase , where are you, in the U.K?. , If so your DVD code is 2 , your drive should be set to 2 with 4 or 5 changes left.Let me know if thats so .we can go from there

It seems to me that this Time machine and the dvd-ram burner just dont like each other.
I have this burner in my own built machine and have had no probs with it I have backed up all my collection about 40 movies up to yet.
Using DVD Decrypter, DVD-ONE, Nero 6.with these progs you dont need to do anything other than press the right button.I have instructions on my way i do them.Iactually fitted this burner without using any off the software that came with it i let windows do all the work.Its set as a master on IDE 2 and my other burner is a slave to it and my DVD ROM is on IDE 1.

don't know if this is relevent to all the probs with the burner...the clowns at time in their infinate wisdom have decided to set the partition /file system as FAT 32...from what i can gather FAT 32 is the wrong file system for windows xp!! anyone know any more about it?

I just thought I would let you know that after trying 'Datawrite' 'Mirror' and 'TDK' DVD-R discs in this glorious Time machine.thatt only TDK discs could I get to work. I get the message 'calibration error' which I know alot of other people get.By the way I do not use Pinnacle software as supplied with the machine,but I use Nero 6 which I have found to be very easy to use.I am now going to sell all the other DVD-Rs that I have and stick to TDK.

fellas...you are never gonna get the thing to work, might i suggest going on to www.rambox.co.uk...and getting the pioneer A106 for £110..its a dream, you'll probably save that on not wasting discs!!.....oh , and if you got the time machine on pay later terms tell 'em to whistle!!

FAT 32 is wrong for XP it shud be NTFS but u can convert w/o losing anything. Just need to run the command prompt and tell it to convert cant remeber the exact comand line but this was the first thing i did when i got the time.

Bernie,
I did just that to my Time computer , the command is at (the command prompt in dos )type :- convert and then the drive number , which in my case is C , it converted the already gigantic 160 gig drive space down quite a lot , the blue bit was a thin blue line after!.. BUT , when I needed to reload the computer from the Mauve reload backup cd version 0.2 , it would not access the drive!!.I had to spend £30 down at my computer shop , for the boffins to repartition the whole drive to get it to accept the time reload disc, so I would say by all means convert it , but make sure thats compatable with the OEM reload disc, in my case it was not!....so I am back on Fat32

spacey...the disc is configured for fat 32, as long as thats what you've got it should be ok....anyone get the feeling that if a time engineer was in outerspace and he opened HIS envelope it would say " feed the monkey "...lol...ya've gotta laff aint ya

i have recently bought time computer with sw-9581 and im having problems to! ive tried mirror , bulkpaq , and bigpockets own brand premium disks and still no joy.ive been recommended to buy princo , tdk , panasonic , and ritek 'deep dye' disks. any body found any disks that are compatible yet,as im fedup with wasting money on low budget disks that only get put in the bin!

I have found that TDK discs actually work on this drive.
The other query about the 'supanet' pop up is got rid off by the following,it really works!!
Click start, select run & MSCONFIG. Click the startup tab & look for entries:
Netline User, Netline Registration, Internet Registration, or Status & remove the tick from the box then restart computer.
I found that getting rid of 'status' actually worked for me.

why do some people say that tdk only work in the sw-9581 and some say ritek deep dye or datewrite work?surly all sw-9581's are the same spec? people with sw-9581's need to know for definate which dvd-r work,because we had enough of wasting good money on rubbish disks that do not work.so if there is anyone out their that we can rely on to give us the correct name of disks that work ,it would be appreciated. also about supanet- i had the same problem when i bought my time machine,why do time think that everyone wants to sign up to supanet,they shouldn't put supanet on their computers,as many people already have an isp before they buy their compo,because they are probably upgrading from an older compo. also- ive phoned time support and found them not helpful ,they don't know much on the £1 aminute lines,same with time shops - not geared up!

The Datawrite Classic Yellows 4x ,seem to be the favourite pick , look back on the postings.I even bought a sample pack of different discs to try, eveyone was aok except bulkpaq orange , that had a momentary freeze in it.I started off like you ,I never thought I would be able to burn DVD , but now I never have a failure, and have burnt 5 yellows on the bounce.Btw the Supanet nuisance in the startup is called "Superstatus" , you will need a reg cleaner to remove it , or follow the instructions above in the other posts. If you need any help p.m. me , or if you run Yahoo messenger I am there as "esxman" , on most evenings/weekends.(I dont use Pinnacle cos I do not trust it , altho' its still on my hard-drive, I use it for drag n drop for cds ).
If we cannot get your drive to burn a Datawrite Yellow , I would conclude the drive must be faulty....but we will see . esxman

Leetony,
Hi yes I am in Essex!
What I would do now if I were you :-
1. use a lens cleaner,(the cd disc with cleaning solution ), play that in your drive, it shouldnt be neccessary to clean a new drive, but hey who knows, someone vacuumed theirs and it worked!
2.Download the Nero 60015 demo version from Nero's site, and instal it
3. Pop in a Classic yellow, right click to make sure it recognises it , (should be a full pink circle)
4.try and get Nero to burn it for you ,just untick "burn on the fly" , and see how that goes.
