Hi :-)
Recently got HP 1040d DVD writer. Just removed cables from original CD drive that was in machine, so writer is only drive/secondary master ... this solved the problem with not being able to burn, and now using the drive as both DVD and CD read/write/record. But playback of bought DVD is dreadful, choppy, seizes up, no sound. Experimented by copying the bought dvd, which the drive did fine, then putting copy onto disk ... video perfect, but no sound. Did this test as I know if I have an avi file, no problem recording it onto disk or playing it back, so just was thinking to try anything. Haven't tried CD audio burn, but playback is fine].
Cheers, Cat :beer:
