I have tried burning on cdr's, 80 min. different brands, and on 74 min. different brands all of which worked before.
After only making two coasters in 7 years, I made five in one night and two the next day.

So , I started burning on cdrw's 80 min, and on cdrw's 74 minutes, and nothing.
I have used nero, clonecd, blindwrite once, (will try it again), and it still seems to be either a setup with the hardware, or possible inability of cdrw to do this.... However, the BTC appears to have all qualifications to work.....I will try unloading the busmaster drivers, then we will try yet on a third machine to test this particular cdrw out......but it would really have been nice if someone WHO owns a BTC to answer whether or not they have been having troubles. And really that is the point. If kron doesnt have a BTC drive, and hasnt heard of anything one way or another, then his answer really doesnt fit my question. I imagine that after a while on this site, it gets old trying to help newbies who must ask the same questions over and over again.....However, I design and build systems and unlike a lot of people I work with, I don't mind helping someone out who is having trouble. The main point in dealing with someone else is to listen to what they are saying, and not to assume anything like that they may be having trouble because they don't have a clue...
My question was legit.....and still is,
1) Has anyone had success with a BTC cdrw specifically the 1610i?
2) Has anyone had success with the poloroid 40xmax ?

These questions can only be answered from someone who owns one of these drives, or has heard from someone who has had problems.....That was the questions asked mainly, if kron hasnt heard anything and doesnt own one of these drives, then I wouldnt mind if he replied, no I havent heard anything, or sorry, dont know.....Secondly, on my other posts in pcgames, I simply asked about the unwrapper that hasnt worked either. Again specific, and the posts there were reasonable as I was checking to see if I was doing anything wrong in using it, which unfortunately I wasnt.

I'm terribly sorry if I hurt your feelings kron,
as for engineers, it is like any other occupation with the exception of the tremendous responsibility and sometimes pressure that comes with the job. Most engineers dont look down on anyone or their occupation, for instance, you have someone that works on the job for forty years and he'll tell you everything about a machine, or system, that you just won't find in a book. Experience and intelligence is not limited to engineering or other higher education degrees or fields. I was short because I was frustrated in not being able to pinpoint my problem, and basically wanted an answer to specific questions about certain cdrws to save time in troubleshooting, so if you were just being yourself and were trying to help, my apologies to slamming you.You didnt answer my questions asked and I responded badly. Hopefully then this post will make up for the hard feelings...

P.S. thanks for the response cirkutz, but I tried copying to the hd as well, it isnt working....
I burn but depending on whether i use 80 min or 74 min cdrw, it kicks out on the sound files....
