[Solved!] Re: Random filecopy errors DVD -> Harddisk ?? HELP!!!!

[Patrick]

Just to let you know the problem is solved.
It turned out that my dvd-romplayer(s) was the problem.

All three I bought gave the same random I/O errors during file copy. I returned the ones I bought and got a different type (another manufacturer).
When testing these players on two machines, no I/O errors!!!!!

Thanks for thinking along with me!!

Regards,
Patrick

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.
