the Asus DRW-1608P2S i ordered, arrived yesterday, but as yet it hasn´t worked, except detecting a blank CD is inserted, when acctually in the drive is a DVD+RW, i thought it would just work when i connected it, but now i think i need drivers for it, i have looked on net, but asus only do win drivers, where else should i look for a driver ?
You did get a DVD-RW and not a DVD/CD-RW didnt you? The Diffrence? one burns CD's and DVD's, the other Reads DVD's and Burns CD's!
nothing, i´m going to install XP to test the drive no, iĺl try drive in XP and come back to mandriva to try it
tried it in XP, no luck, going to find firmware update, cos on install of software in XP it tells you to update firmware - it probably says that in the manual - but i never read manuals, but using mandriva, i´m trying to share a HD partition (FAT32) between mandriva and XP, but i am struggling to gain write access in mandriva i thought it would be easier to share a partition than downloading a .ISO image, is there an easier way to share a partition in mandriva ?
FAT32 is writable by both Linux and Windows. Just make sure the drive is mounted as user-writable in /etc/fstab.
sorry to sound thick but - how exacly do i make it user writable ? Code: /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/sda1 /home/dave/mnt/usbdrv/ vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 /home/dave/mnt/winme/ vfat defaults 0 0 /dev/hda7 /mnt/Sparehdd vfat defaults [B]0 0[/B][I] change to [/I][B]1 2[/B] none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hdc,fs=auto,ro,--,umask=0022,users,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0022,user,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0022,iocharset=iso8859-15,sync,codepage=850 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 sorry to be a pain in your :swear: ass EDIT: the partitions are mouted EDIT: i haven´t changed what i think needs altering (in bold) because i don´t want to make mandriva non bootable
sorted it (in XP, now got to get it working in mandriva) in XP it worked with CDr´s, CD-RW but not DVDr´s, DVD-RW and DVD+RW. but when i removed 32Mb USB dongle i could burn all media is this an issue in Mandriva ?
