Which burner?
What system?
what OS?
teac 32x4x4x drive, all windows os'es, system asus a7v133 motherboard 1ghz athlon processor, the drive is the only one on the ide cable
Nothing that a dab of liquid paper won't fix.(and you can remove it too)
imediate answer : we call it tippex
long term , try the drive in another machine to see if it is faulty, and/or check cable , jumper settings etc.
if working ok on other machine, then elaborate further.
if not send it back for a replacement.
as we have no knowledge of your setup , it would be easier to illiminate the cd (being faulty) on another machine , before proceeding with further questions
good luck with your quest ,,,and post a reply
Do what freddy suggested – try it in another machine. Also I would make sure all your drivers are current including your BIOS.
Be sure to post your results.
thanks. i will try it in another machine, but given that there are no new drivers for it, and it does not affect operation in any way, but is just annoying, i may go for the tipex :)
