gcc 4240n works well with roxio 5.x and i think that programs suplies some drive for the burner. anyway for me works well - have no problems, beside the max speed (10!)

(in reply to przemek)

What kind of program is it? Does it flash the GCC-4240N?

Yeah... Kinda weird burner..
I'm using it too.. a combo drive...
hmm. i guess you guys also using the same notebook as i do.. Dell 8200..
i have no problem wif reading cds that i had burn earlier using my liteon..
well gipo. Roxio is a cd creator software something like nero...
as nero doesnt support this weird burner.. haf no choice to stick wif this easy cd creator software..

anyway.. does anyone know what brand is this burner??
izzit a hitachi-LG burner??

Brotherjoe,
you're right, that weird burner is a cooproduction of hitachi and lg, and the laptop's the same too. anyway, after 2 months i've done it to burn the cd with the max speed. not so bad :-))) and, for me nero works better with that burner than roxio.

przemek,
hmm.. have you engounter anyproblem using nero on this Rw/dvd gcc 4240n to burn cds??
although i have updated the nero to 5.5.10. the nero still doesnt support the burner.. but according to the nero site...
nero already support the burnner since the release 5.5.3.5i...

I was just wondering how you managed to get the burner working at its full speed, am i right in thinking it is a 24X burner? or is it just a 10X burner which is what it always seems to default to?

hi boxx

gcc-4240n burn with 24x (at least mine) only on some kind of cds (like i think on sony does) and only when i burn files from the hard drive. i know it is very strange, but ...

stash,

my gcc-4240n burns with 24x only on few kinds of cd (like on sony does) and only when i burn from the hard drive. otherwise it does only 10x. good luck

brotherjoe,

i'm using a dell computer with gcc-4240n and when i've bought it i had already roxio softwere preinstalled and the burner uses that drivers, so i think it's better if you find roxio stuff (min.5.xxx as lower versions do not support the driver) and later it will work well, at least mine does.

good luck,
przemek

Thaks for the help... Anyway.. I manages to get the nero serial key for dell.. Got it from my friend.. It works fine... Actually i prefer to use nero than roxio.. coz nero have more option and control on my burner compare to roxio...

(in reply to przemek)

Przemek.. it is true that the drive have bugs... and it can onli burn at max speed on certain cdr...
According to the dell's forum...
one of its technician confirm that.. and they are fixing a new firmware and it will be available soon at dell's support site..
hope the firmware really fix the problem....

(in reply to przemek)
