Have you tried shifting these around so the DVD-ROM and CD-RW are on seperate channels?

Well, you'll pleased to know I hooked everything up, and initial tests are good.

 

I have the 2 hard disks on the primary channel, and the two CD drives on the secondary channel. The CD-RW/DVD combo drive is the master.

 

I wrote a couple of 260MB files to a CD last night, and they worked flawlessly. Both files wrote at 20x (the max for my drive).

 

DVD watching is also hassle free.

 

The only thing I haven't tried is a CD to CD copy, but if I get a chance I'll try this tonight. I used the latest version of Nero to directly write one file, and the LiUtilities WinBackup software to write the other. Hoorah.
