ATA 100 vs. ATA 133 Hd?

Easy CD Creator 5.0 Platinum not working with XP

Works fine for me. If you need to burn in the meantime, I suggest getting the lastest updates @ www.roxio.com (i believe it's 5.02).... that should work.

NoiseControl NoVibes!! ::::

was wondering if they made this device but for 3.5 mount instead of 5.25? or some type of similar device? For those that don't know: it's a product that dampens the vibration/sound from your HD, it mounts on a tray and goes into the 5.25 bay.
