I have the burner as listed in the title... and I just got a new one from the company (thank you RMA..). Well I plugeed in the ide cable and power cable but when I turned my computer on it came up with the screen saying that something new is installed and asked me to pick the mode to start XP in. I did normal mode, and it sat at the XP loading screen with the blue bar going and going but never loading XP. Anyone ever had this problem? Better yet.... what do I do?! Thanks

Check your jumpers and if it's cable select try moving it to either the Master/Slave depending where you utilize it.

Only if it's on the Same IDE channel as another device that is set to Master. Are you hooking it up on the same cable as the Hardrive which runs your system?...if so by all means set it to Slave or your best bet is if you have the 2nd IDE channel available then leave it on Master and add another cable an hook it up to it ....

Now that's another issue as I looked @ your Rig in your signature and you have your CDRW sharing with you Master HD...I don't know if your Zip is Internal but I would set your DVD as the Slave behind your Master HD and use the CDRW as Master on the other IDE channel. That way you can burn freely and faster off the HD and on the fly of other CD's
