i have wasted like ten cdr with the burner
i dont think its the burner and i dont think its windows me too
i am thinking its the harddrive because i have two of the same harddrive and one of them is running windows xp and its running good

only having problems in windows me it took me around 35 seconds to copy a 95 mb pagefile on a 7200 rpm ultra 100 .
