cd-r/w dvd-rom

#1 Post by ranjit » Sat Jan 22, 2005 11:18 am

Hi All,

How and where do you change the settings for the CD-R/W DVD-ROM to play CDs and DVDs quieter?

Cheers,
Ranjit

Drive properties in Device Manager.

Hi James,

I don't seem to see the option under drive properties! Will I see it only if there is a CD in the drive? Please advice.

Cheers,
Ranjit

Sorry, my mistake. Power Options, Advanced.

Thank you for the correction, James. Let me see if this will make my drive quieter.

Ranjit,

For the record, I have the Combo II drive in my T40 set for "Normal" and it appears to have stopped the occasional "takeoff mode" spinning of the drive.

Hi James,

I have the UltraSlim II CD-R/W DVD-ROM drive too. My previous setting was also 'Normal', and I felt the frive was a little noisy. Let me see if the 'Silent' setting will improve the vibration and noise level.

Cheers,
Ranjit
