I had both drives connected on one IDE cable, when ever they are connected my Pioneer DVD-rw errors out when ripping. However the mashita dvd-rom drive can rip fine the same dvd fine but at an extremely slow speed like 2x-3x. (when the mashita is connected by itself it tops out at 8x ripping) When the Pioneer is connected by itself it can rip fine with no errors but its capped out at 4x ripping.


What gives? Why can't my drives work in peace?😀


I would like to use my mashita dvd-rom to rip and by pioneer to burn. But because of this wierd problem I have been forced to use just the pioneer dvd-rw. It rips fine but just capped out at 4x.



Any help would appreciated. Thanx!


BTW the pioneer drive is using the latest firmware and I'm using the latests Nforce drivers for my Chaintech VNF-250 board.

 
The Pioneer drive is set to master and slave for the other. I tried changing to CS on one of em but I got some wierd bios errors. Master/Slave has them detected fine under WinXP.
 
What are the DMA settings set to? You can view them in the Device Manager.

I have been doing some reading up on the MSI NF3250 board because I plan on doing an install tonight, and one thing I noticed is that there seem to be problems with IDE and having two drives on the same channel. Are you using the Nforce IDE drivers or the MS driver?
 
I installed the Nforce driver package so I assume its the Nforce IDE drivers. As for the DMA settings they don't show up at all in Device manager. Before I had the pioneer I was using an HP 9500 CD-RW drive which worked perfectly fine with my mashita DVD-rom drive so I doubt it could be that.

Try removing the Nvidia IDE driver and use MS's IDE driver.
