Vista - Vista & External Storage Devices & NAS Boxes Problems & Issues,+Ot

Theo M,

If you can't get Nero working, here are three other burning programs you can
check Out:

http://www.imgburn.com/

http://www.deepburner.com/

http://www.ashampoo.com/frontend/hom...ssion_langid=2

I found those on another forum where people there say these all work well
with Vista. Each burner has free versions and pay versions. I've not tried
any of them. Looks as if my above post wasen't the last one after all.

Freddy,

thanks for all your comments, but ultimately this should not be happening,
it really is as simple as that. Microsoft needs to address these issues very
soon as its one beyond the joke, i just hope their first service pack has
this stuff addressed in one update.

i really do.

Theo M,

I hope everything works out well for you. Try finding a friend with
technical skills to give you a hand. Frustration is not good for the soul.

I am using Vista Ultimate while my computer does have trouble rtecognizing
my 305gb external firewire/USB combo drive I have managed to get it to work
in a fashion. My problem is that when I shut down or restart the drive is
reported as not there or corrupt. Any ideas on a fix would be appreciated
