Hi
 
Just bought my a new Plextor with a Acard SCSI controller. There is just one problem. It wouldn't read some cd's that my IDE Plextor 121032A would read! I have also tried an Pioneer IDE DVD 10x. It also reads the cd's just fine! The errors are on several different cd companies, Kodac, rimax. So this is obiously not the problem.
 
 
Anyone got a good explanation for this?

Exactly the same problem in dos. If I re-burn the cd's they seem to work allright.

The problem seems to have something to do with 80 min. cd's and overburning. If any of you have a Plextor 40x please tell me your experiences.

My plextor reads everything fine - but I haven't tried 80min cd or ones which have been overburnt since my HP 9200 won't do overburning.
