you guys have been great !almost there well the game now loads but usally frezes up usally after the beginning option screens where it loads to the game.it will just freeze but u will here the drive hum for about 5 secs then stop and it will do this continues.it will just say loading.atleast i my soldering skills were up to par this was my first install and i was worryed about something bridging or some thing frying out.now i have read that magic 3 sometime frezzes up .is there a way to avoid this?like a heat sink or something?also the disks i am burning with are khypermedia cd-r 700mb they haave the gold bottom.maybe its a combo of both things or just one. id appreciate anymore input.oh yeah the game i am useing is top gun most my other games are dvd.so i want to get this down before getting a dvd drive and tackling that .any sugg. on some of the good drives for this .thanks
