Kenwood 72X

[CregBeary]

I just bought a kenwood 72X cd rom drive. I have a 400mhz p2 with an ABIT BX6 rev2 main board, a diamond viper 770 ultra, and a sblive xgamer. With Win98 os. What happens is that it locks up games and if i install something it seems like it misses some of the data and then it acts even crazier. I put my old memorex cd-402e as a slave to the kenwood after I had these problems and everything runs fine of that cd-rom. Any info you guys can give me would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks

I saw your post about your problems with your mitsumi burner acting up on another thread, do you have the cdr as the slave to the kenwood?The way I have mine setup is the ibm hdd is primary master,the zip is secondary master, my asus 50x is the primary slave and my mitsumi cdr(same as yours)is the secondary slave. I guess it could be you got a bad cdrom drive, i've gotten a few of those but kenwood's are supposed to be good. 72x WOW thats flying I don't see how it wouldn't miss data at that speed http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

It's on a different machine. But thanks for the help. It cost a pretty penny and I don't wanna take it back, I don't know what I'm gonna do yet.
thanks

Take it back and replace it. it may be a faulty. I have the 52X and it works great.
