Major Fubar 0 Posted January 28, 2003 Not strictly OFP related, but I'm hoping my forum buddies can help me out. I just bought a SONY 52x24x52 CD-RW, and I am having big problems. When I first installed it, I also installed an extra old 10gb HDD at the same time. On IDE channel 0 I had my 60gb HDD as primary and my DVD-ROM as slave. On IDE channel 1 I had my old 10gb HDD as primary and CD-RW as slave. The apps I installed (Nero burning ROM and Easy CD Creator) wouldn't recognise the CD-RW as a write device. My system could read discs from it, but nothing wants to write to it. I did an install of Win2000 thinking 98 might be the problem but still no joy. A friend suggested that the old HDD might be screwing things up so I removed it and set the CD-RW to IDE channel 1 primary device. I did a total system reinstall back to Win 98, but the apps still wont write to the CD-RW, or even recognise it as a write device. Any ideas? Here's my system specs if it helps: P4 1.8, Asus P4T-E mobo, 256mb PC800 RAM, IBM 60gb HDD, Sony 16x DVD-ROM, Ti4600 VGA card, SB live sound card, Netgear LAN card, and the problem device itself: Sony 52x24x52 CD-RW (CRX220E1).

theavonlady 2 Posted January 28, 2003 I doubt this will help you but this isn't one of those jumpers-on-the-wrong-pin problems, is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted January 28, 2003 Does your CD burning software support that particular drive in the version that you have? If you haven't updated it in a while, chances are that it doesn't. Roxio (EZ CD Creator) just put out an update to recognize new CD and DVD burners a few days ago, for instance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ale2999 0 Posted January 28, 2003 My guess is that u need to get the latest version of NERO. When I got my 40x 12x 48 Aopen, neither my Adaptec Easy Cd Creator or Nero recognised it as a burner. When I installed new version, worked like a charm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
