If you're worried, and HP replacement drives are expensive, consider buying an external USB drive for ripping.

If your CDs are in the AccurateRip database, you'll put very little stress on the drive because the CD can be ripped in burst mode. In any case, I've ripped hundreds of discs on the same drive using both EAC and dbPoweramp without any problems. I think the stress would be on the servo motor rather than the laser. Quote from: damoresh on 12:31:24 Hello everyone, If yes then how to tackle it?ģ) Is there any link where these issues are discussed in much detail kindly tell me.Ĥ)Is it recommended while ripping with EAC to cool the drive in intervals of few minutes by stopping the process? I am not sure about EAC though whether it stresses the drive as much as dbpoweramp ultra secure mode.Īll i need is my Cd's accurately ripped to FLAC without damaging my DVD drive in anyway and keeping it as it is.ġ) Since you people may have had issues with your own drive kindly tell me how to rip accurately without causing any stress/damage on the dvd drive.Ģ)Does ripping CD's cause problems with the drive due to the extreme stress on the laser. So its dBpoweramp and MediaMonkey are the two coming out to be good ones. It has been a Windows-only utility for >10 years. i doubt this is because of the ultra secure ripping of dbpoweramp which stresses the drive. dbPoweramp, the swiss army knife of CD ripping and audio conversion, is coming to the Mac in early 2014. Press F5 to run onboard diagnostics. No bootable device strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility. To resolve this issue, try to reset the drive. And now it is having problems reading DVD's. When I came back, I got a black screen saying: 'Internal hard disk not found. Since in my PC i had ripped few cd's both using dbpoweramp and EAC. I wish to rip a few audio cds at thee same time i don't want to damage my drive. It has got this DVD writer - 'hp DVD-RAM UJ8B1 SATA CdRom'.

Dbpoweramp no cd drive found
