Is there away to make Windows XP use two cd/rw drives?

0

Do you mean you want to write the same thing to both CD-RWs at once or you want to write different things to the different drives? If you want to write the same thing to the multiple drives, I think there are software packages that will allow you to do this (but you’ll have to buy them). If you want to write different things to different drives, I’m not sure if it is possible. I’ve never tried doing this. First thing to make sure of is if the CD-RWs are IDE is that they are on different device chains. I doubt IDE could handle multiple CD-RWs at once. The main potential issue is buffer under-runs (unless you have newer CD-RWs). If you’re PC can’t keep up with shoving data to two CD-RWs at once (and the CD-RWs don’t have underrun protection), then you’ll make two coasters at once.
