man, i hate long ass explanations, but im at a loss, so,
ok, here it is, the best i can explain it
(using alcohol 120 1.4.3 build 410)
last night me and my bro was burnin some discs (bout 30 of em :P)
every disc was fine and fast until we tried to burn audioslave
now i knew this one was gonna take a while cause its scratched all to hell
(and maybe copy protected :unsure: )
it got to about 80% complete and did the usual (it bogged down from
maybe 30-40x write speed to .1x) no surprise there (i tried an image of this
one before so sort of knew what to expect)
but this was a 1 to 1 copy on the fly (we decided to risk a cd)
now after sitting at .1x speed for a while, it did its error thing, stopped,
and that was it, until i saw that windows wasnt reading the cd drive anymore
i mean not reading anything, looked in 'my computer' and the drive wasnt even listed
said ok, just reboot and windows will pick it up again, and it did, no prob
but now i cant burn at more than 16x, no matter what options i do/dont select
checked all the write speed settings, (drive and alcohol), all maxed out
the drive is still ok, so im figuring its alcohol
i could be wrong though, so if anyone else has run into this, plz let me know
and if i am wrong and its hardware, ill gladly pm a mod and have this
moved over to hardware world
thanks :)
