I have 4 dead ones here and 1 still working, just. In my experience, the read capacity problems means that the drive is on its last legs! But perhaps the module has not really detected the controller/drive properly. Antonio, what sort of controller do you use for the drive -- sbpro or some other card? I suggest, if at all possible, buying an IDE CD-ROM drive and forgetting the old Creative drive. They are quite cheap here in Australia, much less than I paid for my CR-562 drives a few years back.
