I have been having a cdrom./burner problem for over a month....it still
doesn't work...I have tried everything including completely reconfiguring my
system...differant cpu...differant drive configurations....tried it all
followed everyones suggestions...still doesn't work in mdk 7.1 works in 7.0
and windoze just fine....I hope you get an answer quicker than I did....my
first post on it was the 23rd of last month and I still have no solution to
the problem...if you get it fixed please tell me how you did it...this list
and Mandrake support have been absolutely no help...thanks
