[Mane]

OH ok after all these posts saying that cloneCD rules i did some checking and found that something was scewy with my comp well 2 things 1.one of the data strips was ####ed and had to be replaced and 2.So does my 48x CD-rom Drive so maybe this will fix the problem i had with cloneCD with its 12minutes of doing 1% and maybe it wont who knows untill i get a new CD-Rom drive. BUT i have also passed this along to 5 other ppl and 3 have replied that they also show signs of it being too slow? Is it the copy i downloaded or what??? Version i have downloaded is CloneCD 2.8.3.1 and the file is 1.73MB big. If anyone can help either post a reply or send e-mail please. All help will be appreciated and yes i am new to this side of things as well. I also have Nero 5.0.3.5, cdrwin, adaptec 3.5c and adaptec 4.0--these came with each burner. 1 is a philips 24x4x4 (dont know anything else about it cos its my dads) and i have an LG Goldstar 32x8x4 as far as i know they are both compatable.
