Re: Pioneer DVR-105 and Nero Problems

I am having similar issues with my 105, especially having issues with -RW media.
Per chance, did you purchase the drive through Cendyne?

No, I didn't purchase mine through Cendyne. I bought it from dabs.com.

Regarding the 'Reset occurred' error that I kept on experiencing. I believe
that this may have been caused by the Pioneer DVD-ROM (106S) that I have
connected as a secondary slave device on the same IDE cable as my Pioneer
DVR-105 drive. It kept on making strange noises and the busy light kept
illuminating when I wasn't even accessing the drive at all, and so I believe
that this caused the reset error, as it was interfering with the DVR-105 DVD
writer connected on the same cable in some way whilst I was writing to a
DVD-R (touch wood!).

If you are experiencing problems with Datawrite DVD-RW 2x media, then join
the club. I have had 4 out of the 8 Datawrite 2x DVD-RW's that I purchased
either only want to write at 1x or once written, found that I couldn't
access any of the data on the disc, causing a read error when accessed. I
believe that this is a problem with the disc/make itself and am currently
attempting to try a different 2x DVD-RW media, but am having some problems
finding one.

Hope this helps.
