Hi Tim,
Putting DVD/CD on the same channel will slow down disks and it is
impossible/unreliable doing on the fly recordings on the same channel so
the answer is to use your disk to buffer the recording and not use on the
fly recording. To be honest on the fly recording is always a bit dodgy and
for the slight increase in time that offloading to disk incurrs it is worth
it.

I am thinking of reconfiguring my main PC and have doubts about the IDE
organisation. I am getting conflicting advice - Plays DVD/Music etc as
well as handling Internet/network traffic/Video Editing etc.
2 IDE HDD - 1x IDE DVD Reader 1 x DVD Writer
Current arrangement
Primary Channel
Master Maxtor HDD - Drives (C:) (F:)
Slave Seagate HDD Drive (D:)
Secondary Channel
Master LG DVD-ROM (G:)
Slave Pioneer DVD-RW 105 (H:)
The Seagate drive might be bounced for a 120Gb if I do the reconfig.
Nero won't let me copy on the fly because the 2 DVDs are on the same IDE
channel, but won't putting a DVD drive on an IDE channel with a HDD slow
down the IDE transfer between HDDs?
Any comments/suggestions???
Thanks Tim.
