this problem i am having has just recently began. i put in my RiData DVD-R and went to Prassi but it just said "Not Ready". So then i put in a DVD-ROM and it still did the same thing. The Disc light is blinking orange. Could there be a prob w/the connection of the drive???
Try swapping the IDE channel it is on. This can sometimes help also. Since the disk light is blinking orange, i think it may be a more serious problem. I could be wrong. consult your trouble shooting guide if you got a user gudie with it. If not, go to the website of your DVD Writer and ask them.
hey guys, thanks for all the help. unfortunately the laser was the prob :( what a bummer. So i have another question for u guys: what new kind of DVD burner should i get? and who do u think makes better ones, Pioneer or NEC?
again thanx for all the help
I have an A03, which is still going strong....
(which rocks for me)
I personally like the pioneer products...
The AO5 is a good bargain at the moment (if you can still get your hands on one) or you can go for the new AO6 which does the same as the AO5 including 4x speed burn AND dual formats -r/+r.
As a say, my opinion is you can't go wrong with pioneer, however you will receive various opinions here - just my 2 cents......
