Plextor 12/10/32 IDE sux? CDRWIN = no go, CLONECD = no go :(( grrrr..........

[rockhard]

Hmmm?

I just got my plextor 12/10/32 IDE today and it aint compatible with CloneCD (any version), CDRWIN wont even recognise it

Ive just tried copying Tiberian Sun with WinONCD that came with the burner and it just hangs at the beginning of burning?

My old Yamaha was never like this.
Has this drive got issues? Or am i just dumb?
I have DMA set for the Ide channel its on. (Ide2 as primary on its own)

The Drive's TLA# is 0305 so must be a really new revision yeah?

If any of u guys that own this drive can offer me some help/advice it'd be much appreciated,

update the firmware. if that doesn't work, maybe the drive is dead.

I say update your CDRWIN. I used 3.8b and it didn't support my Plextor 12/10/32 SCSI. I switched to a newer 3.8c version of CDRWIN and everything was good again.

It's a no go for me too on my SCSI Plextor BurnProof with CDRWIN.

I have a Pextor IDE 12/10/32 and have burned many games with clone cd(2.5.6.2)-absolutely no problems

yeah you have to be using cdrwin 3.8c to use it with newer burners. i had to also update nero to 5.0.2.2 to see my tdk 12/10/32. also adaptec ez cd needs to be updated to 4.02e, but currently adaptec is not leting anyone download it because of copyright reason.

thanx guys

Ive got CDRWin working thanx to updating and also CloneCD works fine with sub channel enabled in with games like Quake3 and Homeworld but when i try with Tiberian Sun it just sits at 0% progress and goes no further? hmmm?

Does this mean that the plex can only read sub data when theres none there?
