I changed and
my old trusted 7200 cd writer is not supported in XP bloody Pro; they say hey give us 60bucks and it will magically work again; bull **** I say; so
I go get a 56X burner and i still have tons of problems; I've created more tossers than ever; stupid Billware

Like you stated for that you can get a 52X32X52 burner from MSI that will run all day.

[Stevie]

nope'
I'm going to change HDD as i have a second in the machine now formated to win ME; I do know I can burn with ME still

[cadcam]

What are you using for burning software?
What is the OS "WinMe" ?

I just caught that you are having trouble burning.
I 5 burners and have not mad a coster in a few years.

Maybe one some wear but I burn couple hundred a year in most cases.

Windows ME; the version just before XP; 2000 was the NT version; ME was the home version
my old burner worked just fine with ME; once I changed to XP Pro; it stopped working; then I found the Microsoft website said support was not in XP for this drive (too old; still it cost 700 bucks when new)
So I get a nice fast drive; still have problems; I've tried Nero; windows; adaptec easy cd copier; even those seem to create tossers
I'll just pull the wire; shove it inot the other drive; burn what i need; replace the cable into XP drive and get my emails again

[cadcam]

There is some thing wrong that is for sure.
if I am right the 7200 was the old HP correct?

Does the drive work with Win2k?
this is a much stabler system then WinMe ever was.

What is the box P1 ,p3,p4 intel or say a AMD XP or or a older K5?

[Stevie]

Never got 2K; the system is a P3-866 384mg ram GF4 V-card

yes its a HP burner

I also lost quite a bit of the workings of my Micrografx photo publisher software; it will lock up and I lose alll the work I just did; again no support; as I do artworks; this really is not cool; see below; would like to be making something like that and lose it

I guess ME is a last version of 98

There's quite a bit of difference if you look at the details of the OS, but once you add the GUI and such, they both (can) operate pretty much the same.

Linux is an open source operating system, meaning that all the source code for it is freely available. It is fashioned after UNIX. There are TONS of distributions available, some better than others. If you'd like to give it a try on the desktop, I'd recommend Linux-Mandrake. It's a great distribution for people of all skill levels, and is freely available for download. I just installed version 9.2 on a computer and it integrates VERY well with an existing Windows network. Linux has come a long way, and I think it is now a viable alternative if you really don't want to use a MS operating system. You can be just as productive with linux, albeit there will be some learning when you first switch over.
