and the computer tower closed.
With my computer restarted Windows XP detected the new drive and chose one of its own drivers to work it, the drive shows up in ?My Computer? as a DVD-RW drive and that is the installation process complete. The open/close operation is smooth and silent as I insert a blank BulkPaq DVD-R and Windows XP detected that I had inserted it and asked me which function I wished to carry out. My first test was to back up all of my important data which weighs in at a hefty 2.5 GB, I use Roxio EasyCD Creator 6 for all of my copying needs and the program detected that there was a blank DVD inserted and advised me that I had 4482 MB of free space available. The Pioneer DVR ? 106 can write to blank DVD?s at up to 4 speed but I elected to try it at 2 speed for my first attempt, I selected the files I wanted copied and clicked the burn ...

Pioneer DEH-30 MP
I bought this car stereo around 2 years ago for my car as I wanted something that sounded better than the standard stereo. I bought mine from Motor-mania for around £150.LCD blue screen and reads out what ever it is playing at the time.

Advantages: Very good sound quality, many options, Sound Retriever technology Disadvantages: Interface could be better
That car radio system is a blast. Intuitive controls, usb and ipod control are really adding up to the fun here.
I had a bit of trouble installing because the main problem with aftermarket systems is that illumination wire that you never know where to tie up. I ended up frying my dashboard dimmer switch which is a 65$ value!
Just be careful when installing those things! For the radio itself, the advantages are the legendary Pioneer sound quality. The downside I think is the menu navigation. If you have an iPod filled with music, choosing an artist can soon become a long task to accomplish e.g: you have to turn that button soooo many times. But else it really looks great and as I said, USB control is really cool. Personnaly I installed a 160gb HD powered by my lighter plug directly connected to the unit. Never change the disc again! ...
