Re: CD Writing Errors

I have an ECS K7VTA3 motherboard. My DVD burner is on IDE channel 2 as
slave, my DVD-ROM drive is master. I do have DMA enabled. I'm not to
sure on the CPU utilization.

I have tried using Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Linux. I have tried
re-using the CD-RWs because they are the Memorex "Ultra-Speed" (which
aren't cheap) and I'm reluctant to throw them away. I did try another
brand of new 4x CD-RWs and got the same result.

The weird thing is that when I burned a DVD+R, it worked perfectly with
no errors and the disk is perfectly readable.
