aopen duw1068/arr

[doblerj14]

I have a t-bird 1.2, 768 pc133 ram, 120gb wd se hdd, 40gb wd hdd, chaintech gforce 5200, sound blaster live, and a duw1608/arr dvd buner running windows xp with the oem nero the came with the drive. Most of the time i try and burn a data dvd the system bsod's on me. I have set the system to dma/66 mode 4 made sure the aspi layers are up to date along with flashing the firmware. I have also tryed to burn a disk with norton disabled and it still does not work. Any help would be greatly apreciated

Thanks Josh

Have you tried a different DVD software program ? Also, check to see if there is a newer HD controller driver for your system on the manufacturer's website.

well dang, i hear/see a new problem with the Aopen drives everyday it seems

i figured out the it is a conflict with my sound card. If i disable my sound card in device manager it will burn disks fine. So now all i have to do is find a fix for that.

i know you may not want to hear this, but if you can take the drive back for another. Its your best bet really, for those drives just aren't worth the trouble you'll get from them.

Is the onboard sound disabled in BIOS? MAKE SURE! or it can cause major issues, when you use a separate soundcard.

i had had the same configuation for a year before adding the dvd burner. The onboard sound is disable in the bios. I do not know if i can send the drive back or not but i will find out.

I have no problems whatsoever with my DUW1608/ARR. Nice drive (very quiet). Have had AOpen CD burners too, never a problem with 'em.

yea i guess u got lucky, dont get me wrong if it works great for u then good job

but i tend to stay away from AOpen as they dont always use the best products for there name

I have this drive too and have found it won't work with 1x and 2x DVD-RW discs. Always get disc speed error when trying to erase the discs. Drive works fine however with 4x DVD-+RW discs.
