Well Zedy, thanks with the input, but the BTC works fine, and is as good or better as the liteon that I owned. The laser and the inside chips believe it or not, of actually of a better quality than the other more well known cdrw's on the market.
I found the trouble, and it was with microsoft it seems, not the BTC or the burning software. the microsoft sludge caused it again as I believe the registry got trashed up.....
I find it rather interesting that you are judging my the quality of engineering based on microsoft's, or anyone elses lack thereof. As for any company such as IBM, Microsoft, ASUS,etc., one engineer is not totally responsible for every design detail or decision made by a corporate monolith.
Furthermore, most all of the cdrw's/cdroms are based on designs of a few companies. The BTC seems to be built better than most other of the more popular models and the allignment of the laser was perfect. I made the mistake by basing my initial testing on the fact that by all appearances, the drive was making copies fine of non protected cd's, and only when the copy protection reared it's ugly head, did the error of the operating system/setup/registry caused problems.
I apologized to Kron in my previous reply, but as it sometimes goes, a little knowledge can be rather dangerous as most of the 75% of problems can most certainly be attributed to software/microsoft sludge. It would be an incredible time consuming job to try to find the exact cause, and wasnt my intention, just to find a zeroing in point of the problem and solving it easily. That's why I asked if anyone HAD this drive, or the other drive, or heard of any trouble. And either a "I dont know" or a " i heard this", would have been helpful in not troubleshooting in the wrong place.
Since there hasnt been any posts of any trouble, or anything at all, it would seem that maybe the reason why is that nobody who owns a BTC has any trouble to have to be on here....Furthermore, since nobody heard of any problems, then a I dont know" would have had me look at the registry/op system/drivers area a little sooner.
Lastly, this isnt my cdrw but someone else's, and now that windows has been corrected, the computer along with the cdrw are running much better. Hopefully the info on the BTC drives will help you or someone else, as looking in the inside, it is of very good quality whether built in Taiwan, or the artic circle.....
No circuit parts are of the high quality of the american brands before they started making them cheaper and sourcing the work to asian countries, mexico, where they find cheap labor.
But the ibm pc actually is of better quality parts than any current computer, but I wouldnt want to have to surf around or work on an XT now when you can on a 3 or 4 GHz machine.
So quality is relative to whether it really does the job in real terms, I can't say anything bad about this BTC drive.....
It's working great..
Hope you all can recover from this reply, as I am really tired of it, and I will never post a reply longer that 14 to 15 lines, and hopefully a lot smaller. I gladly welcome CirKutz to edit this whole thread or remove it, We surely can post the results of the BTC drive working or running fine and the problem being windows error contamination.
Thank you kindly for all of your help, and I sincerely apologize for ANY Hard Feelings caused by previous posts....
