just bought it, put in into my machine. XP has recognized it correctly, but ...
1. it's not possible to play any DVD back, it takes a lot of time to ready any regular DVD but then nothing happens. Neither Media Player nor PowerDVD can see the disc in the drive at all (but they can see the drive)
2. not possible to copy DVD , neither to HD nor other DVD - I am using Nero 6.something.
Also, CloneDVD can not see anything there.
It's possible to burn CD's with it, but already got one CD-RW drive and I need to burn some of my movies onto DVD+R(RW)
Now ... shall I consider it broken and return it, or do You suggest anything else ?
and Merry Christmas to You. I have it already set on Cable Select, as that's the recommended way by the manufacturer (Dell). Currently it works as slave, I will try changing it into master, but I am full of doubts whether it's gonna help. It simply seems not to work :-(((. But I will give it a try while looking for any other possible solutions/suggestions
I got this drive for christmas and having a problem also. I can use DVDxCopy fine....ulead fine...but whenever i try to just burn data with a program like Nero, my computer locks up.
I have it set on master, and have the latest firmware for it.
Gormar, I had the same problem, my 105 OEM Pioneer drive would read CDR and regular audio and data discs but wouldn't see DVD media. I took it back for a retail A05 replacement and had no trouble with it after.Defects happen, even with the names in the Biz.
