Hi,
I have a Creative 12x10x32x CD-RW which I used for over a year in my old system (Win98SE, Celeron 400) with no troubles. Recently I upgraded to an Athlon 1000 with WinXp Pro and tried to move my CD-RW over to the new box. I installed the CD-RW as secondary master (CD-ROM 52x as secondary slave) with a 40GB HDD alone as primary master. I then installed NTI CD maker 2000.
Both CD drives work fine with CD-ROM's and the BIOS and OS appear to recognise the CD-RW as a CD-RW drive, however, when I insert a CD-R or CD-RW, it does not recognise the disc. NTI ums and aahs over the drive for a while and then comes up with 'unknown' for the drive contents. When I stick a CD-ROM in the drive NTI correctly recognises it as a CD-ROM.
I have tried switching the master/slave around and disconnecting the CD-ROM drive completely (leaving the CD-RW alone on the secondary) with no luck.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Allan
P.S. the new box is my brother's old one which is why it ain't exactly the most impressive upgrade in history!
