I agree that firewire is the way to go currently. I tried to put my burner in a 2+ year old firewire enclosure, and it worked flawlessly whereas my new USB enclosure was giving me all the trouble. I finally got it working now, but it cost me a lot of time, frustrations and coasters, and who...

Thought I'd come with an update on this issue as a lot of users are still having problems with internal burners in external enclosures. The USB interface and Nero software have been common factors, and as it turns out this combination was indeed the problem in my case. If you are are also having...

For completeness I?ll report what resolved this issue. I previously reported a number of items that showed up in the ?Conflicts/Sharing? section when using the WinXP system info tool. I knew that shared IRQs are no problem with an ACPI system, but evidently shared memory ranges are common and no...

Thanks dclive! Dell, Microsoft and other companies ought to pay some of the people in this forum who are taking work off their hands. And the help I am getting here is much more useful and qualified than the generic replies I'm getting from HP customer care. I wasn't familiar with MPS reports...

I have installed and updated a number of drivers along the way. Problem is, I don't know when the conflict started since things work fine in normal mode. I had no clue there was a conflict before now when I tried to start up in safe mode. I've learnt that shared IRQs are no problem on ACPI...

I appear to have a memory conflict on my laptop. I'm using WinXP, and it starts up fine in normal mode, but crashes during startup in safe mode, flashing a blue screen at me for a split second with an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL message. So I start up in normal mode and use the system info tool to...

Actually I posted it here to be safe because I was afraid they'd call it off topic in there. Guess I'll give it a shot in the operating systems section then.

Go firewire. I have the Pioneer DVR-108 too and unfortunately went for USB 2.0 thinking that it must be established, compatible, reliable... Not so. The USB ports on my laptop (Presario R3000Z) are unstable, and burns fail at all burning speeds (except, I can burn CDs at 16x or below). I hooked...

I went with the combination of a USB 2.0 enclosure and the Pioneer DVR-108. Didn't work. Kaido (OP) went USB 2.0 as well and has trouble too (see the first of the links below). And we're far from alone. Here's a quick collection of links to threads in different forums relating to issues with...

Hi Kaido, I think I have the same external enclosure you do, put a new DVD burner in it (Pioneer DVR-108) and it just won't work. Well, it will work burning CDs at low speed (16x) and may occasionally get through a DVD at low speed too (burned 1 successfully at 6x, but have 15 coasters using...
