sooo... i totally wiped my tower, and added the GH22 as an internal drive. (hope there was nothing on ther that i needed :-/ ) just wrote Dead Island... creepy game!!! so thank you lightning UK for beating some sense into me! but whats the deal with overburning? how do you make the drive overburn so that i can fit the whole img on there? i tried to do CoD MW3, but dont think it wrote everything i need, as i cant get online access... oh BTW i have a samsung drive :-D

ok, found MY thread by searching for YOUR posts UK... ??? nvm i am going to try to clean slate my tower this weekend and see if it will work as an internal drive. i had hoped that through an enclosure i would be able to successfully perform my desired functions, as my laptop has all the programs, connections, and UMPH. maybe i should seek another (more reputable?) drive enclosure... will update over the weekend.

hhmmm... my setup is exactly the same as when i did MW3. same USB port on the laptop, same disc type from the reel, the only difference is that in the Livingroom i had the laptop and external drive plugged into two different electrical outlets (on different walls) in my office i have both plugged into the same power strip. i'll try separating them and see what happens. also, i dont have a tower that is powerful enough to do anything.... it barely worked to flash my samsung drive because it has so much BLOATware on it... and a bust.... i changed rooms, went back to the living room and used the same outlet combo that i used earlier, still failed at SET L0 DATA ZONE CAPACITY... i wish i had a good tower, but i dont, thats why i chose an internal drive in an enclosure, rather than an external drive, for power considerations. it has the USB connection for data, but still its own power plug. any other suggestions?

ok, i have a LG drive, its a dual layer dvd writer, i chose an internal drive so i can also use it for hot swapping to copy what i have for back-ups. any way, trying to write dead island to a dvd and i get this error: ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.5.6.0 - Log ; Sunday, 08 January 2012, 20:50:36 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 13:32:47 ImgBurn Version 2.5.6.0 started!
