Ok... I have a 500 Mhz Pentium 3 processor, and 256Mb of RAM. I have the data cable ran from the board to the hard drive (which I only have one of) to the burner. The burner is listed as an ATAPI CD-RW burner 16x/12x/40x. That's about all I can say. I've tried using Nero and Easy CD...neither program will work. I have Easy CD 4 and it won't even recognize the drive, and Nero will get right up to the burn and stop.
