Hi,
I have an IOMEGA 52x24x52 CDRW. It has been working fine plugged into the USB 1 port on my computer. Only problem is that it burns very slowly at 4X which is to be expected. I recently had a High Speed USB 2.0 PCI Card by Ali put in my computer so I could get faster speeds when I burn CDs but when I plug in the Iomega drive into this new USB port, it does not communicate with the computer well. It won’t play a CD and it does not write properly using this port either. I then reinstalled the HOTBURN software (which comes with IOMEGA) and plugged the CDRW into the USB 2.0 port but it still does not work. It does not read the disks I put in it. It stops and starts and stops again (I can hear the drive going on and off and on again) and then freezes my computer. I plugged my Hewlett Packard Printer-Scanner-Copier (which is also a 2.0 device) into this new USB 2.0 port and it works ok. I don’t know why the CDRW drive will not work when plugged into it. When I go to “Device Manager” the “USB Mass Storage Device” is installed under the old USB controller even after I un-installed and re-installed it plugging the device it into the new USB port. The man who put the USB 2.0 PCI card into my computer, after about an hour and a half of trying to figure it out, said that the USB wire was not a 2.0 wire so I bought a new 2.0 wire at Radio Shack but it did not fix the problem. Do you have any suggestions as to why the CDRW will not work on the new USB 2.0 card?
Thanks for your time,
Angie
P.S. I am a newbie
