I have found that the Cyberdrive CW088D does not require a drive. It talks about the IDE or something which is ok in my device manager. It use to have a yellow mark next to it but I deinstalled and reinstalled Nero 6.0. Now I can at least read my CD. The messages I am getting is when I try to write to the CD the CD writer wizard comes up and says there is no disk in there. When I go direct to Nero and try to write that way thru the Nero SmartStart it goes thru the motions like it should then come back with a message that another program is using the writer!! So around and around I go.

Is it being shown in the Nero Info tool? Can you see your model in the device manager and is it shown to be working properly? You may need a firmware upgrade not a driver, most if not all optical drives use the native drivers found in most OS's. Unfortunately the firmware upgrade site for Cyberdrive is down http://www.cyberdrive.de/en/download.php?op=viewdownload&cid=3 Peter Kaulback In the hour of 10:20 AM 12/1/2003, Larry Browning spoke this: >Thanks Peter for the input.
