GutZ Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I have recent acquired a DVD burner, recently only that it has specific system requirements. Is this for real? I tried it anyway just incase, and I see it crashes all the time...so... 1.4 ghz Athlon AMD 512 DDR ram 40gb Hard drive I set it as the master and my CD burner as slave, I am not to good with hardware but I believe that is at least correct. Are there burners that don't require high specs, because I only that above. I looked around and it seems like most burners do not come with any requirements, but who knows...I thought the same with this one as well. I am totally lost as to how this can be, I can't even play DVD's with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 How does it "crash"? Does it explode? What happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 why would a DVD burner need specs like that? i had a DVD burner on a 500MHz machine with 64Mb RAM. and i don't see why HDD space would be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Lack of hard drive space can definitely stop a DVD from playing or burning. They use them as buffer space in both operations. Other requirements like RAM and processor are usually related to software provided with the drive. As the Cap'n said, more information is needed.

GutZ Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 The system lock out or "doesn't respond". It reads the disk and all the files show up, but nothing plays or nothing can be moved/copied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Odd. It does this with all discs placed in the drive? I would remove the drive and place it in a different system and see if the behavior is repeated. Assuming it acts normally, that will indicate some problem with the system software or a driver in your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
