Hello everyone, today I finally had the chance to test the hardware with another OS installed on the same machine. I used Windows 2000 (forgive me) with a software called "Infra Recorder" which is supposedly a cdrecord frontend for windows. I haven't tested every detail yet, but so far, the drive works just fine, it created a bootable Knoppix DVD without a hitch. So something on the Linux side seems to prevent the drive from working, probably the Linux SATA VIA Controller driver? Any suggestions on where to go from here?
