The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

My Iomega CD-Burner having trouble. On USB 1.0

Asked by Lindsay37 in Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: iomega, predator, dell, usb

I've had Iomega's Predator on here with USB 1.0. I was rather nasty! Iomega admitted it was not a great machine. They replaced it with their USB CD-R/RW using Hotburn Pro (current upgrade).

I install it and I can burn perhaps two CD-Rs and then I can't do any more. I have to uninstall, reboot, reinstall and pray. Sometimes I have to wait a long time to get it to work again. Iomega has spent a LOT of time with me. They know I have USB 1.0 with a hub, but the machine is attached directly to the computer.  Although this would run faster on USB 2.0 and has it as "USB 2.0 PC" on its install CD they say the 1.0 is no problem. I'm not so sure.

Before I get all over them again, does anyone think I should go for the USB 2.0? If so, what am I looking for exactly. I have only two USB ports on the back of my Dell Dimension (older model but a great one) so the hub is one and the burner uses the other.

I've worked on this problem off and on (as I can tolerate it!) for about 10 months. I must burn my photos to the gold CD-Rs. NOW!

I assume this is a card I need to swap out? But if 1.0 is okay per Iomega what do you all think is going on? I need to close this question within five days so it's a bit urgent. My warranty time is running out; I'm sick and tired of getting into huge discussions with the techs and then having it all revert to doing nothing but reject (and ruin) CDs. I use Verbatims and Delkin's e-film Archival Gold CD-Rs as recommended by them (well, Verbatim at least, and golds are far higher in quality).

If you think I HAVE to buy yet another card (I use Win2000) be very specific as to exact name so I can run a search for it on the Internet because I then have to buy a new HUB. I have to operate frugally right now so I cannot toss a bunch of dollars if it is not needed. Everything else I have going into the HUB is working beautifully (printer, scanner, mouse, cameras, and again, the burner is connected right to the computer.

Thanks!

Lindsay
