I'll try and keep this short and sweet.
I have the above M/B, with a SATA optiarc DVD RW AD-7201S.
I wanted to check here first before i pull the drive out and hit it with a hammer.
Whenever i burn a CD, it either doesn't finish the burn and throws out an error (I'm using Nero 8) or it finishes the burn, but when i play the CD, it jumps and skips and sometimes sounds like the CD is scratched. (its not scratched at all, just sounds like it is). Somtimes it finishes the burn without fault (rarely).
Are there any hardware settings i need to check, or any additional drivers i need to install for the SATA drive? Do i need to do anything in the BIOS?
i've searched the net with a head ache trying to figure this out. DMA is on.
It seems to struggle when it burns aswell, it will get to say 17% then stop for about 10 seconds, then go up to 23% then stop for 10 seconds, all the way to 100% if the error dont come up.
Any help what so ever would be awesome, even if you post just to say the optiarc is sh*t.
Thanks is advance
