Clint, any CD that was a data CD could not be accessed. You were right, the CDR was faulty. I installed a unit from another computer which is working fine. After contacting the seller of the CDR, which is a computer company, they emailed me back with an offer of a new 52X Liteon CDR for half price including shipping. This I feel was a generous response which was accepted.
Alan Priol You need to post what CD software you're using if you're talking about a data CD you created. Clear that up and you'll probably get some replies. If you're talking about a PRE PRESSED CD, and a CDRW drive is NOT involved anywhere (as in the creation of the CD), I'm assuming it's doing this with numerous CD's; and since you're reformatted (and since the CDROM is from Eb@y), it's probably bad. You need to try another CDROM drive to verify this or rule it out, then let us know. You MIGHT want to try to turn off "auto insert notification" and see what happens, and change whether "DMA" is checked or not checked on the drive (both areas) in the device manager. Also maybe change the UDMA settings in the BIOS for it. The drive may be only PIO and not UDMA. Have you tried another IDE cable? -Clint ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
