Hello,

I'm running win2000 on an ASUS L7 series laptop. Trying to get Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.0 and/or Nero 5 working with HP 7200e CD Writer Plus (firmware 3.01). Have installed parallel port driver EPATAP2K by SCM (recommended by HP). Windows recognizes the burner and explorer can read files on existing CD's placed in the drive. But...
Easy CD Creator does not detect the burner but detects all other drives.

Nero, on the other hand, detects all drives and can even eject the burner's disc tray but does not recognize valid media when TDK 700MB/80 min CDR is placed in the burner.

Furthermore, HP's RecordNow (freeware) works like a charm with the 7200e and I have no problem burning to CD-R.

I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts or suggestions on running Nero or Adaptec, even though I'd like to obliterate this archaic burner on the atomic level.

Thanks,

Curious

The 7200 series doesn't officially support 700mb media. Only 650mb.

Time for a new burner anyways, the faster speed and buffer underrun protections will be well worth it.

I had a 7200e. I had crapload of problems with the Win2000 drivers and never properly got it running.

Thanks,

However, I had Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.0 installed under win98 and it recognized and wrote to 700MB media. Also, HP's RecordNow writes onto 700MB discs under win2000.

My device manager shows a problem under SCSI/Raid Host Controllers (no drivers loaded)
Can this be causing a problem even though the burner is off the parallel port?
