Slim Line CD-Rom ( I THINK )

[ddouglass]

The speed selector is based on the speeds the drive is capable of reading at. I don't think you can tell what speed it is reading by the sound of the drive. Nor do I think that is the problem. Have you tried it at a higher speed?

Did you get it from MTU?

Are you sure you have the target drive and folder properly identified and are not trying to import to the burner? Sounds crazy, but it has happened.

Dale...your right I'm sure I can't tell the speed of the transfer by sound, what I meant was that the sound of the drive seems to vary a lot more than before, like it spins fast then slows down I can hear that, Yes I did get it from MTU.
George....It's the only drive.... and the files are still going to the same folder, but Yes I know it happens I've been stumped by simpler things than that before

My next step is to remove it again.......Reinstall and see what happens
Thanks Guys

Try resetting the Save folder and while you are at it make sure the folder hasn't been set to "Read only"

[ddouglass]

Try resetting the Save Folder again just to be sure. And check that folder to make sure it hasn't picked up a "Read Only" setting.

Well I need to change direction, Removed and reinstalled the drive again...WORKING FINE....again.....so I have to think that there is something else causing a conflict or disrupting the operation of the drive......At least I can be 99.9% sure it's not Hoster.....and 100% sure the slim-line cd-rom is OK..... In my first post when I couldn't get the drive installed MTU posted that someone else reported the drive didn't work on a toshiba laptop,so probably something Toshiba factory loads and hides

You don't have Roxio Easy CD Creator installed and running in the background do you? It has been known to raise Havoc with other programs.

No....I've uninstalled and/or removed any unrelated programs. My thoughts lean toward something Toshiba preloads before shipping. The crazy thing is.... I loaded another 40 disc without a glitch since I reinstalled the drive. So maybe whatever creates the problem doesn't run all the time Hey George thanks for the imput... I always try to read your posts....Dale's too...YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS ON IT!!!!!
Thanks
