Damn it too hell, sometimes it writes and reads, some times it won't - grrr

Machine is a P2 266 and this writer was working 2 days ago when i agreed to sell the machine, but now its time to go, it doesnt want to work

Any ideas people, i dont have any CD Cleaning gear anymore as i kinda dropped out of the circle for a while and have only just got back in, any help is greatly appreciated.

Garak.<hr /></blockquote>I have that exact same CDRW, and i've not had any issues.. could your drive be bad?

thats what i was fearing, the machine goes out in less that 10hours and i dont want to spend any money on it,

i cant afford to, otherwise it isnt worth selling

only thing i can think of is to pull my 16x burner an stick that in

damn i will miss it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

it's really looking that way, i suppose i could always whack my old scsi 2x writer in my machine for the time being <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

does sound like it,s going a bit gaa gaa , try a cd cleaner from argos/index -cd with a hoover brush on it or some meths on the eye (with cotton woll) , failing that check ide cable and change power lead for another.

new writers are cheep at the moment over here , 40x12x48 for £80 ,,,they are giving away 32 speeders

best of luck freddy

**Garak** · June 12th, 2002, 05:37 AM

Yes Freddy, they are cheap, but im so far into debt at the minute, i dont need any more. Thanks for the advice.

Well, i finally dug out my trusted old 2x Writer and it still works, guess that will have to do for the end User,
