CD-R question

[winston]

Does anyone know of any problems I would have with 2 CD-R burners and a regular CDROM in the same machine? I have installed 2 Yamaha CD-RW's along with the regular CDROM. They seem to work fine but I can only burn a disc at 4X when coping a cd without using my hard drive for storage. With the old CD-R I was burning at 8X. My computer is an 800MHz Pentium III, with 512MB RAM and 2 hard drives, 30 and 40 gig.

I'm curious as to WHY you would need 2 burners!?!?!

I don't beleive that you can burn to both at the same time.

Winston, you might try asking at the CD-ROM Bulliten Board here: http://www.cdrom-guide.com/cgi/forumdisplay.cgi?action=topics&forum=CD-R+|AMP|+CD-RW&number=7&DaysPrune=10&LastLogin=

My first guess would be the way you have them configured on the controllers. Was your old configuration with the CD-ROM and CD-R on the same controller or separate controllers?

Tommy, thanks for the info. Found what I needed. John, they are on whatever the old cdrom and CD-R was on. I think they are on the same controller. Hopefully I found the answer. thanks to everyone.

C. Allen,
According to the Nero CD burning software that I use, it's supposed to be able to burn to multiple drives at once. I only have the one burner, so of course have never actually tried it.

Take care,
Lem

Well,,,,,,,,I just didn't know.

Where can I find the Nero software?

Winston, I sent you the url in an email, but I'll also post it here in case anyone else would like to try it.
