problems with primo
 

i can't get my dvd r/rw to read as a writer please help!
i have the new memorex drive, pioneer guys let me know how it you got it to work? Thanks

try d/l the px engine update, haven't got the link handy but search this forum for "veritas" and you should find it.

You can get the PXEngine update from here: PXEngine Download!
Here is the full link in case the one above does not work.

thats the link
cheers BG

:D :D :D

no dice gentlemen, any other advice i have the latest drivers also

OK....What Operating System are you using?
How do you have the drive connected?
What jumpers do you have the drive set on...?

xp pro
i have had it set on slave and on master, currently slave
it works on nero but not primodvd

ide primary
m- hard drive
s - dvd rom

2nd
m cd r/rw
s dvd+r/+rw

I believe it has to be set to master on 2nd IDE. Thats what I have read in the past.

Definately set your DVD writer on master....See if that takes care of the problem....If not, disconnect your cd-r drive and leave the A04 on a ide channel by itself and try that...
Let us know what works...

no go, the drive is just recognized as a dvd rom(always has been)

i have primo dvd 2.0749 is there a newer version, i have also update px engine to 342

btw it is a memorex drive

What is the exact model number of the drive...
Then, i'll do some research and see if i can figure out whats going on...

Try disconnecting the dvd rom drive from the primary ide,leaving the hard drive hard drive connected on it's own.
2 reasons hard drives should only be connected on the same ide channel and the dvd rom drive could be conflicting with dvd writer.




Argo.

memorex only has 1 dvd r/rw drive don't have the model off hand right now

anyone have any clues
