Thanks for the help everyone. The computer that I'm installing my new drive in is a 550mhz, 64mb SDram piece 'o crap, I don't mind if the burner is a little slower but can I still burn sucessfully with this?

yes.

i'm almost certain that burner has buffer-underrun technology incorporated, so you should not get coasters caused by the speed of your pc. with those limited resources, make sure you image to a local drive and then burn (rather than on-the-fly reproducing) or you'll run into problems.

Leave the buffer settings as they are, make sure your drive is reasonably defragmented and give the pc a chance by closing other programs to free up memory.

hope that helps, good luck.

Also set your dvd burner to master as well :)

Thanks everyone, I'll be getting the drive in 2 weeks!

good good :):):)

Got the drive, now how do I set it to master?

With the jumper pin on the back of the drive. It tells all in the manual.
