CD-RW/CD-ROM Hardware Question

by TlgtrPr » Sun, 14 Jul 2002 00:21:06

First of all I not very hardware savvy, so hopefully someone who is can answer
what I hope are straigh forward questons.

First the system info as of now...Athlon 950...Gforce 2 w/64mb ram...512
regular ram...Aopen sound card...Win2k Pro...(ask if you need more info..)..

I am planning to add/change from regualr CDrom drive to a burner...from going
back and looking at old posts I see some questions...apparently some drives
have trouble with copy protection...the recomendation seems to be to get a
Toshiba?

Should I just add the burner or replace the current drive with the burner?

Any help is appreciated...........thanks..............

Can't really tell you which burners are best at handling copy protection, but
regarding your other question:

I would add a burner to the system rather than replace your existing drive, if you
have the room in your box.  It's easy to do, and leaves you with the option af a
2nd drive, if one doesn't like a particular copy protection scheme.  In addition,
it's a lot more convenient to burn copies when you have 2 drives.

FWIW - if you're talking about N4 and N2002 with regard to not being able to read
copy protection schemes, my burner is a Yamaha, and it had no problem with either
title.....
