    DVD not working. It tells me that no DVD decorder present. I removed SONIC not realizing that it was needed to make the DVD player work. I have installed a trial version of NERO and all works well. I just don't want to spend $79.99 for the program. Does anyone have a suggestion for a dvd decorder that is cheaper (free). Is SONIC what I want to reinstall?? I have it on the old HD that came with the CF-28.

    Try VLC. Works fairly good. (And it's free)

    I use http://www.cccp-project.net/ for all of my playback.

    It has nearly every codec you could think of, plus VLC and Media player classic.

    Great pack, and its free.
