I just installed a Creative 8432 drive and havent been able to complete a copy session yet. The process fails and I get the message "scsi/ide failure." I have an asus p3b-f motherboard, p500 processor, 256mb ram and a samsung dvd drive. The creative 8432 is master of secondary ide. The dvd drive is slave on primary. Please help if you have any ideas. Thanks.

put the "reading drive" on a different IDE channel than the "writing drive" and the message will disappear.
The writing drive has the secondary ide all to itself. The reading drive is slave to the hard drive on primary ide. Maybe I dont understand what you mean by "channel." If primary and secondary is not what you mean by "channel" , then I don't. Please elaborate. Thanks.

I disabled screen saver and power management(not in bios). The process seemed to make it a little farther before crashing. Then I closed a few programs in the taskbar such as AIM and Roadrunner medic. It finally made a complete copy. Thanks, dekka. BTW, when it does fail, the writing drive becomes inaccessible to the extent that I have to reboot even to eject the cd. Awfully aggravating.

Sounds like you have a program running in the background. When it cuts in you have trouble. Now you just need to determine which one it is or only burn with explorer and systray running.

This is exactly the problem I am having on a fast Pentium 4 machine using the Ricoh 7130A-SK. The CDRW is the sole peripheral on IDE-2 channel. So far I have not resolved the SCSI/IDE crash.
The hang actually isn't in my case. the timer is still incrementing and if you leave the PC for ages it completes with errors.
Did you resolve your SCSI/IDE error on your machine?
