I've had my 4224e for about four months and to be fair I've not had too many
coasters although I've never been able to backup any PSX discs (having read
all the help files in Nero and I've tried Goldenhawk 3.7f).
I've been using this writer as my main CDROM and I have always thought it
was a bit slow; especially when trying to install something. It is probably
most noticeable when playing games.
However today was the first time I have played an original audio cd. It
doesn't like playing them too much. It played one cd and seemed to stop and
start during the tracks, although it didn't skip. I tried an other cd but
found that it couldn't find it saying "cdrw empty or cd not found". When
playing games I can hear it stop and start as if it is looking for
something. Now I am wondering if this is why I've never managed to get a
successful PSX copy. Mind you it copies Music and Data quite alright.
I am new to this NG so I'm sorry for rambling on a bit, but any suggestions
are welcome.
Thank you
