I just got a new 6301 Dell SATA computer, burner and HDDs. I have 2 internal drives one Phillips-Lite-on X16 POS and a new Lite-on LH-20A1S both SATA. Can't even find firmware for the X16 drive and new X20 drive is up to date and both set for Smart media. My savior is the External USB LG that came over from my old pc. CloneDVD works properly with it. And CloneDVD is not the only programs the X16 drive is having problems with but the X20 is also having problem with Clone. The problems are "cannot perform end of disc at once. and the disc not being finalized. Even tho the clone software says the burn was successful, AnyDVD does not recognize the disc. I spent 2 1/2 hr with a Dell tech and he watched on his monitor as I tried several burns with differewnt programs. Even the Roxio 10DE program that came with pc doesn't work with the SATA drives. Even with Roxio uninstalled problem persists beside for 4 years I had Roxio and Nero on same pc and seldom made coasters. I've even bought the latest nero 8. No luck with the X16-the 20x works sometimes. Is there some conflict with the burning programs that conflicts with SATA drives? I am using top of the line DVD+Rs-TY T02s98X0, Verbatim X16 +Rs and some Ritek Office depots X16. All give same results no maatter the speed fast or slow. I love the computer but what i like to do the most is not working properly. I could get by, but I spent too much for a burner not work with all programs. My 2 previous BenQ 1650s IDE worked flawlessly in a P4 2.26 Dell with 512MB rambus ram. I have 2GB now. Any ideas guys? I am at a loss and I'm not new to backing up DVDs. Thanks
