I've got an Ricoh MP5125A dvd burner that's connected up as master on the secondary and an LG DRD8160B DVD-rom drive that i use as the source device that's connected as slave on the secondary.

I use nero to copy dvds and after i click the burn button a dialog box pops up saying there was a possible read error and that the copy may have errors on it. Using the dvd burner does not produce this problem. I've tried Tony Hawk 3 and Formula 1 2001 (not the EA one) both had the same problem.

I've got an IDE controller card in my system which originally had the LG reader connected as a master by itself.

Has anybody encountered this problem before? Does it even really matter?

Any assistance would be great.

If your backups are working correctly then don't worry about it. If copies start burning incorrectly or the message starts to annoy you put the DVDR/RW into a separate IDE channel of it's own and set it as a master. But remember, if things are working correctly then just leave them as they are. It won't really matter.
Hope this helps...
