Last week I bought myself a DVD burner and don't seem to get it working right (argh).
As far as I know, I tried all possible connection possibilities and I am close to throwing
the stuff out of the window...
For the record: I can burn dvd's, but when checking it with a md5sum it fails. I have
downloaded the FC3 dvd iso file and after downloading, the md5sum checks out. When I burn
the iso file (with K3B) the verify option fails afterwards. If I burn the file with Gnome
and do a manual md5sum on the dvd, it gives a complete different number (everytime I burn
the iso file, I get another value)... I have been using a new Philips RW disc, also tried
it on a regular (no RW) Philips disc... I also updated the firmware of the burner, still
no improvement.
I have a 80 gb harddisk (Western Digital WD800JB), a LG dvdrom (GDR-8163B) and a Plextor
DVD burner (PX-712A). I also have a additional ATA100 ide controler card (Ultra100 TX2)
lying around, together with plenty IDE cables (40 pins and 80 pins). My P4T-F motherboard
has one blue coloured and one black coloured IDE connector (both should be ATA100 capable,
but the manual advises ATA100 on the blue one and no-ATA100 on the black ide connector).
Can someone please tell me what I forgot or missed here? What is the best way to connect
these components... should the burner be alone on a ide channel or can it combined??
Regards,
Patrick
