Hi,
A few days ago, I got a laCie DvD burner and installed it as it had instructed. I was hoping to use it with my Roxio CD/DvD creator 6 and make some custom DvDs. However, when I restarted my computer, the windows program started up and said "installing Pioneer Dvd Burner." Now if I try to burn anything, it won't reconize my burner. What can I do?

try using nero, and see if u have any better luck... ive installed the pioneer 105 today and works like a charm but accesses the hard drive like mad, so everything slows down to snails pace.

Its very possible that it uses the Pioneer drivers, since they did 'pioneer' the DVD-R technology. I also use the Pioneer A05 and it works great. No problems with accessing the hard drive. Maybe you have something configured wrong?

It requires alot more processor power to burn a DVD. I don't do anything else while its burning, because the slowdown is signifigant. I'm looking forward to a 3ghz p4 chip.

Do you know what model your motherboard is? Is not you can download Aida32 and it will tell you. Once you know what model it is you can upgrade the cpu. You can buy one from www.newegg.com. If you have any trouble you can go to the forums at www.pcmech.com for help.

I am using a sony dvd writer on a 1.0 gig system and have had no problems. I have used cdrwin, sonic's mydvd, and copytodvd programs and works great. I would go to manufactors website and look for driver updates.

im cautious about updating drivers which might or might not improve it. As long as everything burns for me, im not tempted to try it...not just yet anyhow
