Hi all..
I just got a yamaha 4416e burner. I bought the OEM version, hoping i could save some dough. So, suffice to say, I have been using demo software - the hyCD stuff - to do burns. While audio cd's work great, I haven't been able to do a successful data burn. I've tried many different cd brands, so i'm pretty sure it's not that. When burning, no matter how many megs, all that gets written is a few tracks (0.5cm) about 1.5 cm from the center. It's like there is a big blank void from the center, then a little ring of what i wrote, and then nothing. Could this have to do with the drive? The software (ie. formatting incorrectly?)?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
