"Heeeey, you got it!" You're welcome Armash. i wanted to help because...just imagine this..... i had a burning issue go out on me and i spent 2 WHOLE MONTHS researching, posting in numerous forums, further researching, asked a million questions....OMG!!!!!......NOTHING!!! long story, short..... i NEVER DID get my 'burn feature' back..... i changed my cables, reinstalled, EVERYTHING.......still NOTHING! i will NEVER know, even after two months, what happened.... but since, i learned how to burn movies doing 'imaging'(using ImgBurn), which burns an image of the movie onto disc....i like it better than straight-burning. so, i'm enjoying my new, crisp movies again, without ever knowing where my burn feature went. lol SO.......i saw you were having the same issue......and i learned sooo much during those two months trying to figure out my problem.... so i was more than happy to help, i knew you'd get it. : ) what's cool is, when you're Ultra DMA Cable arrives and you put her in, your burner drive will produce at it's optimum performance. so, have fun, happy fast burning, and make sure to use "VERBATIM DV-R DISCS" (the pack of discs with the 'orange' label) for best quality AND 99% fault-free. blessings, J
