Hi I've just joined. Never written a message before. I have this beautiful computer from Time. Fat 32 can be used as it was regarded as being faster, but ntfs is just as fast now also you can record your full dvds as there is no limit on the recording.Also its more secure.I'm on a home network. The pinnacle software is too controlling of the drive ,so I removed the software, my cd and dvd icons disapeared,they were recognised in the bios, but not in windows, I was given a driver cd from Time,but no reload cd. My only way round it was to reinstall. Just thought I'd let you know about the pinnacle software. DVD Shrink the free software is very good. I've backed up a DVD my son kept watching, he is not careful with them. But this drive is very finnicky. In one instance, I had written a dvd, The DVD didn't show up in the drive, I was ready to throw the disk away, but tried it in the non computer DVDs and it worked. I tried it again in the drive, after several trys,it finally showed up,after about 2 mins. I'm also thinking of ditching the drive, after the problems everybody is having. bye newbie Sandygk
don't hit return when you write unless you want a carriage return. what kind of drive do you have? What kind of media do you use? You want ntfs. What pinnacle software are you talking about?
