Hi All:

I installed my new Lite-On DVD+RW IDE drive set to Master, and my CD-Rom set to Slave on the Secondary IDE of the motherboard.

I put in a new blank disk, selected the tracks that I wanted to burn, it converted them, burned them, Closed the disk, and ejected the disk.

I took the disk and put it in my CD-Rom, WMP opened and started playing, but some of the tracks have blank spots and played choppy.

The music in the computer is in both wav and mp3 format, and they play great with WMP.

I put the disk in my AIWA CX-MMA545 stereo and it seemed to play a little better, but it still had the blank spots.

I put a second new disk in the new burner, again it converted the tracks, burned the tracks, closed the disk and ejected the disk, but it's blank, no tracks, no music, no nothing. I put it back in the DVD Burner and it was blank, nothing on it.

Any ideas what I should be looking for now?

I haven't installed the Nero software yet, I wanted to get this working first.

My regular store bought CD's work just fine in the CD-Rom and the new DVD Burner. They both open the WMP and play just fine.

Anyway, I hope someone has some thoughts on this problem.

Thanks,

Bill Lane
