Buddy has new HP Pavillion. Two cd drives, master is an HP burner, slave is something else. His system won't allow a copy to be made from one drive to the other, you have to copy to the HD to burn a cd. I switched cables on the two and got same problem, now I'm stuck.
Some burners like to be Masters and others are Slaves .
Frank, you say it won't let you do this, but you don't say the how's where's and whyfor's. When adaptec opens you get the source and dialog box, but they both show the burner drive. When trying to change option of copying to HD first I get an error about speed of drive. Unlike most systems I've seen, this HP has the cd-writer drive as master, and it's also the one used to play music. You can copy to the HD everytime, but not from one drive to another.
