starcraftmaster Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 do i just need to get win xp or vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 is windows 9x bad with dvd roms or is it just a bad drive?Win 9x/ME rocks with DVDs. Bet you got a bad drive. First exchange the data cable for another one and see whether it solves your problem. If not, get the vendor to exchange it for another unity.

eidenk Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Both quality of blank DVDs and/or too high burn speed can affect succes in burning DVDs I think.With the DVDs I have I can only burn succesfully at 2X speed. If I try to burn them at 4X speed I almost systematically fail the burns.I don't think the OS version has anything to see with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredledingue Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 It looks like a bad VDV drive. I never had problem burning DVDs even at 4X.And it reads everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starcraftmaster Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 ok i did what dencorso said to do and it seems like it did some thingits reading disks fine now dont know about burning since i got no dvd discs leftso the only probs now is that when i put a game or program cd or dvd in and i start setup and ora exe it will say things likethe whatever.exe(setup exe or some thing else)file is linked to a missing export kernel32.dll..and after that says this Q:\whatever.exe A device attached to the system is not functioningor you dont have admin rights or some thing(cant remeber how it was but some thing like that)and when i try copy the contents of the disk to the hard drive it says thiscannot copy setup: windows is unable to find the file. this item might have already been deleted or moved. press f5 refresh the view of this folderreally does sound like the os to me but am not sure Lolone more thing when i tried putting the drive in the computer by its self so the other cd rw drive was not pluged it said this in the bios and would not go away intill i put the cd rw drive back the drive is not atapi compatible or some thing like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredledingue Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I would set both CD and DVD drives as slave, but that shouldn't be an issue no matter what.200 Watts is quiet small. Instead of installation DVD's try with data DVD or browse the DVD instead of running non w98 executables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
