microadvantage is more than likely a rebadged dvd burner, as there are very few makers of dvd burners, panasonic, sony, nec, pioneer, lite on pretty much make up th majority of them,\n\ngoggle firmware hack\nif i am correct, you might en up in someplace like dvdwriters.uk or the firmwareplace.com where you find you make and model and any updates for the firmware

I know this reply is pretty lengthy, but you can do it in less than 10 minutes start to finish, less time than it took me to write this. It's easy.\n\n\n\nDual layer DVD? or CD burner? I think it's probably a DVD burner. Anywho, no there not hard to replace, you should be able to find a replacement for approx $50, DVD burner that is. I have a LiteOn, have been using them for about 4-5 years, can't beat the price. \n\nAs far as replacing the dead one. When you get the new one, just pop off the cover off your computer case, make sure you turn off the power, better yet, unplug it completely. After it's unplugged, and you have the cover off, loccate the dead drive, there should be some screws holding either side of the burner into it's slot, and there may be 4 on each side. You'll probably have to take both side covers off the case to get to all the screws. Remove the screws of course. \n\nThe best way would be to just simply remove the cables from the dead drive and reattach them to the new drive exactally how you took them off the dead drive. Be aware that the power cable could be a little tough to remove, they always are for some reason. Get a pair of needle nose pliers and put it on the plastic clip(usually cream colored) and pull(by the clip) don't pull on it by the wires, you could pull them out of their clip. You can get the "ribbon cable out a little easier, just be gentle when pulling it out. Also when you take the "ribbon cable"(the long flat one) out, be aware that you can only plug it back in one way, it has a notch at the top, it'll only go back on one way(notch side up.)  The power cable isn't that hard to reattach, but it also only goes back on one way. Be careful not to push on the ribbon cable too hard when reattaching it, it has many pins that can be easy to bend if you're not careful. Just line the ribbon cable up, and gently push into the back of the burner.\n\nAlso, on your new drive, it will have what are called "jumpers" on the back of the drive, look in the manual that comes with it. These jumpers tell your computer how the DVD/CD drive operates, it should either be set as master or a slave drive. Look at the back of your dead drive, to see if you can determine how it was set up, look on the metal case of the dead drive it should have "mas, slv" something like that, compare the old drive to the new one, or the manual and you should see what I'm saying. On your new drive, take a pair of tweezers and remove the jumper and move it accordingly to the appropraite setttings. It may not need moving though. Again, refer to the manual that comes with the new drive for reference.\n\nPut the screws back in, etc, put the case back together, and power back up, you should be good to go from there. Install any CD/DVD software that came with the new drive. BTW, unistall the old software first.\n\nCheck the website below for a good burner, great place to buy anything related to computers, plus you can look at other peoples reviews of a product before you buy. \n\n\nGood luck!

I'm no expert, but I beleive there is a 'less than legal' firmware upgrade which can be done to the PS2.  Only solution I can think of.

I would suggest visiting the following website:\n\nhttp://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/installing_cd_recorder.htm\n\nIt has a step by step guide with diagrams. Installing a CD Burner is fairly simple so you should have no major problems. If you do type your problems into google or yahoo! and you'll hopefully find others who have solved the same problems.\n\nI hope this helps\n\nGood Luck!

Check the documentation that came with the DVD-RW. These DVD burners can be sorta picky about what brand name Cd's and DVDs they will burn. If you try the brands they recommend and the problems persist, try downloading the firmware from the DVD-RW manufacturer's web site for that model burner. That should be your LAST resort though!

**********   BTW: I tried to respond to you email to me, but it tells me that I cannot because you have NOT confirmed your address, so if you will please send me your email address I will reply!   **********\n\nok first off I personally would try something more along the lines of AnyDVD and CloneDVD\n\nthose two will replace ALL of those other softwares you just mentioned.\n\nAnyDVD decrypts, CloneDvd, rips and then burns it.  You can try them both free for 21 days.\n\nNow as for you current setup, just get rid of Roxio, its huge, and install Nero.  Then you decrypt it, and then rip it with DVD shrink and burn it with DVD Shrink, it will do both!  (dvd shrink actually uses nero to burn it)  But you will save a lot of time and effort if you rip it with dvdshrink if thats what yer going to use to shrink it down.  Otherwise you are doubling your efforts!

Here\nhttp://www.meritline.com/cdr-24x-90min-800mb-blank-disc.html\n\nI think you may need software that supports it like Nero.

I don't know what that guys talking about cd+rw... doesn't exsist, i'm sure he's thinking of dvd + or - R/r. CD's are a bit simpler. no need for format wars.\n\nThat said make sure it is fact a CD-r/w drive that you posess. the front of the drive should have a logo that says "compact disc ReWritable" \n\nif it is in fact a CD-rw drive you may have to upgrade the firmware or driver. \n\ndepending on your operating system there are different ways to get to the device manager. in XP its start>Control panel>performance>system>hardware tab> device manager. \nin the device manager you should see\na + next to dvd/cd rom drives. expand to see your cd-rw manufacturer and model. Type this in to a browser with the word firmware. I'm sure tons of sites will come up with detailed instructions on how to upgrade you firmware.\nif you are using windows 2000, 98 or ME you may also need to find a new driver. also detailed info on the net. sorry i cant give you an exact web address becuase i do not know your OS or cd-rw model. just do a google search. \nafter doing this get roxio or nero. they are the most prominent and user friendly burning programs.\ngood luck.
