    It depends on what you are trying to do.
    So far as light weight default data burning /audio burning and devices supported I would say this is among the best.
    CDBurnerXP: Free CD and DVD burning software
    despite it's name it's perfectly compatible with win 7. (and only 4.7 megs in size)
    Will add mp3's and convert on the fly to burn like nero
    Understand the nero image format and all the other typical ones. Can create and use iso's.
    If there is some additional functionality you need let me know I'll offer up another.

    OK- Swapped out 1 SATA Cable


    I took this pig to the workbench and unplugged SATA cables and replaced one cable.
    Rearranged the cables somewhat to the slots on the mobo and it started up fast this time and I have both DVD drives again.
    Do you think I might have damaged the controller you mentioned from a shorted cable?

    My main goal for Roxio was ripping CD's to Mp3.
    When I purchased Nero many years, the *******s made me pay for some Mp3 encoder that didn't come w/the program.
    I was pissed.
    Kinda figured that program wouldn't work w/Windows 7, so I bought Roxio because a friend claims he uses it all the time for ripping. Don't think he is using 7 though.
    Editing video and pictures and ripping is what I want.
    Any other suggestions?

    ImgBurn is a burner, not a ripper. I use CDex to rip. I have no idea what Roxio can or can't do other than that I hear a lot of trouble about it.

    Will try both programs


    You think I did any damage to the controller you mentioned?
    Should I disable USB Legacy in bios.
    Pete C over at G4tv tech support forum had me do this on an XP system years ago.

    I didn't mention a controller, but wouldn't expect it's damaged unless you see some evidence. I assume you are just guessing?

    I've never had a reason to disable USB Legacy.

    CDex and ImgBurn work well with BIOS defaults in my experience.

    That ? was for Maguscreed


    I will leave it enabled then.
    This thing really has me frazzled.
    Will hook it up tomorrow and hope everything is back to normal.

    No if everything is still working you should be fine damage wise looks like we caught it in time.
    You know media player can rip mp3's for you
    you don't need extra software for that...

    Have you looked at your system log and filtered for errors or warnings. I bet you will find something there that will help determine the cause of this (frankly I would suspect ROXIO).
