I've recently installed an HP DVD writer 300n in my hp pavilion XT983 and I've downloaded the appropriate programs to start making backups of my PS2 games.
The only problem is that neither PrimoDVD or RecordNow Max recognize my DVD writer. I installed the drive in the second bay underneath my CD writer, they are both on the same IDE cable and I set the DVD writer to slave since it is second in line.
Could my install be the problem? Does it need its own IDE ribbon?
The computer and other programs that came with the DVD writer all recognize the drive.
Thanks
