Hello List! I purchased a Sony 16-speed external drive from Office Depot today. I's four times as fast as my old Dru DVD burner.
Well, first of all, I just plugged it in and it said it was installed and ready to use. I didn't use the disk that came with it, as this disk had Nero on it and I already had a later version of Nero installed. I didn't see any special program for the Drive. Was I suppose to install any type drivers. I didn't see any. Now the drive is listed on the drivelist as a Sony RAM Drive. What does this mean? I had a choice of getting a Memorex with the same spects, but I am not sure whether or not the memorex said "RAM" or not though. Now this drive says something about being a "double layered" drive. What is this. Should I take it back and get a different one. It cost 79 bucks after 20 buck mail-in rebate. Could my computer system be too old for this drive. It shouldn't be though. I have a Sony Vaio system with a Doul Chip, with one gig of RAM. I am running Windows XP Media edition (Home) and JAWS 5.1. Do I need to update drivers or something? Now, I play an MP3 or WAV in my system DVD drive (CD Or DVD) and the music plays like a top; then I put the same disk in the new sony drive and it sometimes says "No playable clips were found." This is only in Real Player. Now I can go to Winamp or Windows Media Player and click on the DVD/CD Player and the songs play well--with no problems. I tried to set MP3 to play in Real Player, Winamp, and WMP and gave each player a chance at playing DVD's and CD's, and the same thing happens--plays when I click on Winamp and WMP, but Real Player says no playable clips found and sometimes asks me to insert a disk. I did not install INCD either. Did I get ahead of myself this time. 99 bucks is a small amount of money for such a fast DVD burner. Or has time passed me by and this is an older one? Again, it is a RAM CD/DVD Drive. Tell me about this one.
