I have a Mishita CR CW 7502
It can't read from my CD rom. What could be wrong. Every time I try to copy a CD it says it can't read the Data. I have tried several different CD's. I have also uninstalled & reinstalled my software several times. I tried looking for drivers but it says that it doesn't have or need drivers.
I have Win98 EZ CD Creator 4.03.
400mhz processor 128K mem

What speed are you recording at? A lot of cdrw's have trouble recording above about 4x. You may have to drop down to say, 2x. Also, it is a good idea to use the option to copy to hard disk first, then "burn" the info on the recordable disk. Problemslike yours occur when cd reader and cd writer do not maintain matching speeds, causing buffer underruns or overruns depending on which one is faster. If you record to hard disk first, it won't matter as the hard disk is much faster than the cd drives. I hope I have helped you.

I have tried all. 4X 2X 1X. I tried to record to hard drive first. It keeps giving the error can't read from the CD. I need something to resync the drives????

Have you tried,

1. Verify that your drive + drivers are WIN98 or WIN98SE compatible, some drives only work with WIN95.

2. Did you try to read CD (Data and audio) from the CD Recorder? Does it work? If yes, confirmed that it is not the physicaldrive at fault - it is the driver.

From my understanding, some drives have buffer, software driver, etc.

I would suggest attempting to install the drive on other PC like those WIN95 (more stable). I was forced to downgrade my OS to WIN95, because its drivers are not updated and the manufacturer's site are not useful and updated.

The CD recorder can not read from the CD Rom drive. It has worked at times. But will lock up my system. I run Win 98. When I looked for drivers. It said that no drivers were needed. I decided I have a faulty CD recorder. I ordered a new USB CD writer. That way I can use it on any of my computers.

If your CD-RW is a 10x4x32 you are using the wrong version of CD Creator. I have called them and only one version of CD-Creator works with the 10x write. They had to ship me the correct version that works with this drive. I was told not to upgrade the program for it will no longer work with he drive. I suggest calling and making sure you have the correct version of CD-Creator and Direct CD for your drive. Also makes sure the CD-RW is set up as a slave and your normal CD-ROM is set up as a master on the same channel. I have heard that running a CD-RW as a master causes problems

You need to go to device manager, click on the cd and click on Properties. Click on the Settings tab and try un-checking DMA. That will probably stop the problems working with the drive. You also didn't say whether you were using CD-R or CD-RW disks. If you're using CD-RW, make sure the disks you are using are compatible with your drive. 10X disks can't be used with 8X or slower drives. Also make sure you do the data and audio tests on both drives in Easy CD.
