I'd put the hard drive on its own channel and the DVD & CD on the other channel.

Then test to see if your errors go away. i.e test one error/problem at a time.

Finally, test that you can indeed burn utilizing the 2 devices on the same channel, but that does depend on the type of devices you have. That's a secondary issue.


If during install you're getting errors, that indicates a serious problem, and THAT problem is the one needing a fix.
