    CD-R problems in W2K

    Locked

    by matsi ·

    I have a hard time with cdr:s in w2k. Have two Mitsumi burners, 2801 & 4801 that simply refuses to behave normally. Tried both on 2:nd IDE. Then as slaves on 1:st. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. On some rare occations I have even been able to write to them. In device manager they are both recognized and said to be working with no problems. But not so in the real world. Anybody got any suggestions?

      I have a question, What application are you using to write with. and is that Apllication compatible with the Operating system and the Hardware. This may also be a problem with the media Have you tried different Manufactures of Media

      Try this

      http://www.adaptec.com/support/files/upgrades.html

      Located here are the latest aspi drivers from adaptec. It helped me out with burning software under Windows 2000 a few times.

      try going into their properties in the device manager and deselecting dma, if it is selected, and reboot. This has worked for me on occasion only the errors are usually much worse.

      Hi Matsi,
      go to stsrt/settings/control panel. then double click the system icon. Select the device manager tab and find your cd burners. they will be under cd’s probably second on the list. Then highlight one of them and click properties. in the new window select the settings tab and see if dma is checked. If so, uncheck it and reboot.
