everest home free will give you the timing and spd of your ram from bios
what speed my memory is running at
the timings it running at
it's spd specs
under computer/overclock
for newer motherboards you might need to use

semantics, volume in this case means like a book and where does it says adjust, all it's trying to do is name the "volume"
what's that old saying? "seperated by a common language"
if the pata drive is dog slow anyway, the burst is the only thing that would get you in trouble with the long cable
the length of the cable just weakens the signal, the extra time is insignificant
ata33/dma2 was not sited as being a problem
what I was suggesting is those pata devices would work better if they were using standard cables(18 inch)
a controller card makes more sense when you don't have enough pata from the motherboard
I save pata onboard for optical drives
staying in dma 2 might be a good idea
It's kind of hard to imagine anyone getting that old a burner as a replacement, are you sure that it was replaced when it was worked on?
That burner is about 2 1/2 years old
and that's a long time for dvd burners
welcome to ISF
try lowering your burnspeed to 8X or lower
those ricoh disks are not very good
your burner seems to be OK tho
sounds like your player does not like dvd+r's
vaguely remember(hard for an old wookie) an 18" spec for the length
keeping an old pata hard drive in a newer computer would be ok if you had a pci controller card for it
let's find out what dvd burner you have now
open imgburn, under mode select read, insert a previously burned dvd(one you made with that burner)
and copy and paste the right hand window into a reply
this part
try removing the gear and the pxhelp(tied to sonic, itunes etc) and reboot
if that does not help be looking for a good external as already advised
the clipboard button would have been the same as copy
a 12 minute gap for such a little update?
It usually takes a video conversion hitting the same drive with a 4 gig write/author that I am using for source of the burn.
Once was enough with that mistake for me
