Do you notice a different sound coming from the drive when it boots? Mine almost sounds like it’s dying each time I boot my PC, and its noticably louder then the stock DVD-CD-RW one. Is mine the only one like this?

Thanks,
Erik

Mine started doing something like that…and now it’s dead. Basically, it made more noise than the regular drive and more startup sounds. I hope that’s not the case in your situation though.  :?

Me too. I haven’t used it as a drive yet…eek. What did you do about yours? Is there a 1 year warranty on the drive?

Erik

slightly noisier than the original on mine after the dvd-rw upgrade. works well but sometimes nero be acting up.

I can’t comment on the drive noise issues I’m afraid, but if any of you want to recoup some of your dvd-r upgrade expense, I’d be interested in buying your old cd-r/dvd drive to replace the failed one in my TR1MP.  You’d also need to be willing to ship it the drive to the UK.

Anyone interested, please contact me ... I really don’t want to be without my main machine for the couple of weeks it’ll take to go back to Sony!

Many thanks in advance, Simon.

Sounds good. I am not sure if I want to go through with it, if I have a problem with my TR i’ll need to swap back the drive for warranty work, but if the offer is good enough I might do it.

I think I might just go for an external drive. Not as cool but cheeper.

Sony makes a cool one that doubles as a portable CD player.

Erik

Do you know the model number? I wonder if it is over here in England.

I created a whole thread on it.

Erik / tifosiv122 - have you received my email (from spooley at mpc-hyphen-data co uk) ?  I hope my offer hasn’t been devoured by some spam filter!
