So in a nutshell the new CD-ROM Security Software will not allow you to make backups of new games and other software. The forum also discusses that the ASUS drives may not have the same issue.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm goin surfing for the link now so that you guys can analyze it
**ok i'm back sorry couldn't find the forum thread again. maybe one of you is more familiar with this issue than me
Not sure if this has been posted but for those of you that are going to the B&M to get the drive. On the back on the box on the specs sticker there is a cell for "Model:" Here are the various ones I saw yesterday
5224W - BENQ
5224P - BENQ
LTR-52246S - Lite-On
CRW-5224A - ASUS

So before this deal goes away, I have a quick question:
Right now I have two drives, an HP 9100i and a 16x DVD-ROM drive. I'm replacing them with the Cendyne 4x DVD+R/RW drive posted in another thread. My goal is to have just one drive, but this deal seems way too cheap to pass up.
What is everyone's thoughts? What can I get with this Cendyne 52x24x52x drive (provided it's a Lite On) that I won't get with the DVD+R/RW, besides the speed advantage? I almost want to buy it for the software alone, if the Nero included with retail is the full version.
