[millkman]

hello chaps

thanks for a great piece of software.........

Sound as it could be an issue with the motherboards chipset drivers. You have the latest ones installed?

When you inserted the 118 and 115, You checked the the jumper back on the drive was set right? (Master/Slave/Cable Select).

118 and 115 are PATA drives.

as soon as i installed these updates the dvd writer was recognised and imgburn began the burn
