Hi,

I recently installed your CD-RW drive, and after installing it, the drive won't work. I'm sure the connections are right, and so is the master/slave settings. After doing this, i turned on my computer, double-clicked on "My computer" and noticed that there is a new drive there(E:/) If this new CD-RW was detected by my computer, how come it doesn't work? I try to copy a file to the CD-RW drive, but it doesn't copy. I put a blank CD in there too, and no, it's not defected, because i tried it with 3 blank CD-RWs.

My PC:
200 mhz
64 mb ram
4 GB
Thank you.

Hi again,
sorry, but let me rephrase my question.

I recently installed a CD-RW drive, and after installing it, the drive won't work. I'm sure the connections are right, and so is the master/slave settings. After doing this, i turned on my computer, double-clicked on "My computer" and noticed that there is a new drive there(E:/) If this new CD-RW was detected by my computer, how come it doesn't work? I try to copy a file to the CD-RW drive, but it doesn't copy. I put a blank CD in there too, and no, it's not defected, because i tried it with 3 blank CD-RWs.

My PC:

Thank you.

What software are you using when you are trying to burn CD-R discs?

I'm using Nero 5.5, since it came with my drive.

So to summarize: Your drive does work with CD-RWs as it should (using any software), but it doesn't work with regular CD-Rs?

What drive is it - brand & model?

Try upgrading Nero & drive firmware - I doubt that Nero update will help if the Nero was bundled with your drive. Try some other CD-R software to see if there is any difference.

It think that your drive might be defect, but try eliminating the chances of software errors first.

What kind of blank CDR is it ? Maybe it's a bad brand.

Then it is clearly a software issue. You can try getting the latest Nero upgrade.
