Open it with NERO softwer and add some files to burn, down at the right end of window (nero's) have a line that says how much space on disc there is.
Simple as this, I just caimed from my DVD dealer and he explained to me, Empty disc will always say 0 Bytes but if you open Nero Burner you'll be able to se how much of space is free on scale, after and whille adding files to burn image.
Hope you understand me :)

what i would do is install one drive as the master on ide 2, and the other as the slave on ide 1 and what OS are you using?

What software are u using? If you have nero then it should be easy. Study on the kind of software u are using. Look at the recorder option, all options should be unchecked, especially high compatibility mode.

most likely...go to the os 10 site, and look around. or you may need to try the pioneer website, find your drive, and check for o/s compatibility

Hi,
Try This:-
My Computer/Right Click On desired Drive/Properties/Options to autoplay required Types Et,c.
You should also have these Options, In Software Programs Such as Nero Or Roxio Et,c.

Mike @ Compurepair.

Unscrew the screws on the back of your computer that hold the sheet metal sides on. Take both sides off then simply pop out one of the bay covers and install it next to your current drive. Or you can take out your old one and simply hook the cables up to the new one. Screw everything back together and you're all set.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for.

If you're better with off using a guide with picture you can use the link below for a more thorough guide with pictures included.

Check the blank disks in another computer if you can in case they are damaged and causing a fatal error when your computer tries to read them, and the reboot.

Are you sure it's SCSI and not SATA as scsi isn't very common these days especially on desktop type PC's? Where are you looking to see if the driver is correct?
If the drive is displaying and can be accessed from your operating system then it should be working fine.

You probably require an AC3 filter (surround sound driver), check HERE for a free one.

look for the mark at the top, MA for master, SL - slave, CS - cable select, these three are main connection for IDE designation using the plastic jumper, just follow where it is in your pioneer.

i have 2dvd dvd writer but i want install roxio thas edition say that is compatible whit xp but my computer say isnot compatible i eraser this instalation and now dont work my dvd writer

There would be a problem with cd reader lens
sou need to change it from the company if its in a warrenty or get it repaired from a person who is in to Chip Level Repairing

There is a problem with windows itself or the drive is nearing its life span, you can try the drive on a different computer

If it works then its the windows if not its the drive

if its windows format and reinstall

if its the drive then replace it


If you cant get another computer to try it on

copy a disc to your hard drive and try running it. its images open but the exe fails to run then its the windows
of nothing works then its the drive

BUT TO BE SURE I RECOMMEND using it on another pc

well you can download a copy of driver magican and let that get the driver for you

or my advise is to format and reinstall cause i believe there is a problem with your windows itself

First of call check if the drive is detected in the system bios.If it is not detected there than try to reseat it.Incase it is detected than its the operating system that is not recogenising it,so we can make try these steps:
1.Go to Start>Run and type regedit.Than go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SYSTEM>CURRENT CONTROL SET>CONTROL>CLASS>{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} and remove the upper and lower filter.
2.Go to start and right click on my computer and than click on manage.On this creen go to the option which says Device manager and look for the option for the cd drive.Expand it and than right click on the option it gives you and uninstall it.After that close everything and restart the system.
3.Also similar way you can remove the primery and secondry channels in the device manager.
4.Incase it still does not work you might have to reinstall the windows.
Hope this helps

Hi,

Try using another brand of DVDR (cheap ones tends to cause porblems in regular DVD players) and burn at a slower speed.
