Thanks highlander.

Since you can make good PSX backups with the same LG CED-8120 that I had, it's obviously not the writer that was the problem. It's most certainly a problem of data flow on the IDE cables or connectors. By now using an external USB writer, I am just bypassing this problem with IDE.

I already miss the 8 and 12x speeds of my LG. The max speed on the HP USB is 4x !!!!

Anyway, I'll try a few more PSX copies with the HP USB to see if I can still do it. If not, I'll give up on it too.
