New (Used) Computer ROM issues I got a used computer a few weeks ago. →[More:] A half gig of memory, AMD 1600something processor. . .a nice deal for $200.

My problem is that it has a cd-dvd drive and a cd-rw drive and some freeware called "burnatonce."

Well I tried to do a compilation CD last night for the first time (since still no ipod yet) and the 'burnatonce' software did not read my source cd's in the drive.

I tried Windows Media Player, ripping and then converting the tracks, but consistently got an error late in the process.

My old machine has a cd-r with NERO and I am tempted to just jerk that one out of the old and put it in the new, either in place of the cd-rw or if I can, as a third ROM drive.

Is there any freeware burning program that I am unaware of that I can try before resorting to a change in hardware?

Thanks bunnies.
