I have a Dell tower where I have a NEC CD DVD ROM (IDE 1 Slave)
and in the second by I have installed a Lite-On CD-RW (IDE 2 Master).

Sometime after I installed the Lite-On burner, I d/l and installed Elby Clone CD. One day i was burning a CD and noticed the following. Please see screenshot below. It used to say something like Clone CD Virtual Drive. Being new to CD RW drives, I said to myself "no big deal - leave it alone".

All was fine until 2 days ago, when it stopped cloning/burning CDs. (Using Clone CD) it will go through the entire process, show graphics of burning process and even give me a message at the end saying successfully copied. But when i insert it into my CD-ROM drive, there is nothing there! Absolutely nothing. When i take it out, i can see no visible burn mark on the CD surface like i used to.

This is rather perplexing as i have not changed my CD-R medium (I use TDK blanks as I have had the best luck w/ them thus far.)

The only possible reason i can think of is that I used Partition Magic to add a logical partition (40 GB Western Digital). But even so, this strange "virtual Clone CD drive" appeared before my recent CD-burning problem began.

Any takers on this one?
