welp, i finally did it... i broke down and bought a DVD burner. lol
it supports both + and - r/rw and the dual-layer +r formats. bought some blank -r's (couldn't find any dual layer +r's for a reasonable price...) and i also got an external usb/firewire hard drive. as you may rememebr, my 200gb maxtor took a shit on me... so im ripping that out... keeping my 60gb primary drive, and i'm going to use the external drive for all my files. its pretty neat  has some back-up software, and also acts as a usb hub so, i can get another one or 5 and plug 'em in daisy chained all for $300 bucks out the door.  |

I have that same exact hard drive... on sale at christmas time for $130. I am pleased with it but the only thing is that when i try to access it through my computer it seems to be a little slow. I mean my computer is no bitch 3.06 p4, 40 internal/160 extenal hard drive, 512 ram
 it just seems to slow down for a second. But well worth the money. Congrats B. |

I was going to buy that exact same dvd burner. It is on NewEgg.com for under $70 shipped. Mmmmm... 16x burning =)
I'm also considering on getting the new HP burner that burns a label, too. I don't know when that comes out, though. __________________

plextor or nec for me all the way, I've seen to many lite-on drives fail in under 1 year
I've also got a 120GB external firewire drive, and an internal 120GB + 80GB and I still need more room. __________________

well ill be god damned.
so i reboot like the software install tells me to for the driver for the usb. on boot up, i enter some sort of check disk, but it wasn't check disk. i've never seen it before. it took like an hour... but when windows finally loaded, my 200gb drive was RESTORED!!!!!!!!! all my music is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! I was like, get the fuck out of here! there must've been some error on the disk and finally windows found it. this is not the first time i've rebooted either. but, needless to say, i still don't trust the drive, so i'm going to move most of it to my external haven't installed the burner yet- probably will do that tonight. now, i need to get an in-dash DVD player.... with no screen i just want 4.7GB of mp3's on a single disk. wooohooo :P |

dont burn @ full speed with light on they do tend to fail they have faulty cradles but wont admit they are a defect and they blame it on abuse or over use ( i burned close to 5,000 cds on myne in a year) but i got another one dirt cheap and burned at lower speeds and it has lasted alot longer- but same goes for any burner over use will cause it to fail ive replaced over 5 burners for my dad- and end up reformating his computer once a week cause he fucking sucks - but just a heads up brian- but im sure it will last you atleast a year and burn what ever you might need- just make sure you are using the right burning program for the task!

Did it look anything like this?
 That's still chkdsk, but WinXP is just running it in console mode. And yeah, double layer media is still like $13 per disk, it's nuts. It should come down hopefully, as long as the RIAA dosen't tax them like they do 'music cd's'  __________________

damn ive been looking for something like that for a good week. good find, not too pricey either. aye B might want to check the one you're looking at. it says MP3s on CDR/RW discs. when i was searching for a dvd player for mp3 discs those were all i can find. the JVC is the only one ive seen that specically says itll play mp3's on DVD discs. __________________
