Hi
I have a Buffalo 241240 usb cd-rw drive. This drive is not recognised by windows as a cdrw drive and I need Nero (or the nero aspi, or cdraodo) to burn to disks. This apparently is normal behaviour for this drive.
Using the safely remove hardware button for this device after burning a disc with Nero causes the safely remove harware function to freeze.
If I use the safely remove hardware function without having burnt a disc in Nero then it works 100%.
I have had no trouble with this drive for a few years but recently I had to do a complete clean reinstall of windows (xpsp2). Since then I have been having this problem. (as I said before - this drive has never really been recognised by windows - but this has never really been a problem for me so I do not think it is related to this issue).
I'm using Nero 6.6.14 on a IBM Thinkpad 1200 series. The drive is a usb drive plugged into a 4 port hub.
If I just turn off the drive without using the safely remove function the cdrw icon disappears from explorer and is replaced bu an icon for a 'local drive' with a question mark over it.
Turning the drive back on does not rectify the situation.
Also, Windows cannot shut down after thsi problem. It gets through about 70% of the shutdown process and then just hangs.
Can anybody give me any help on this?
Here is some info fro Nero Info tool:
