GoldServe Posted October 29, 2001 Share Posted October 29, 2001 Sorry, you are out of luck. Is this a parallel burner? What i did to mine is open it up and took the drive out. (Yes, it is actually an IDE burner with a shuttle IDE to Parallel adapter) After that, it works perfectly fine! =} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
