CD Burner not working...

[ChrisMG187]

Okay, i have no idea what's wrong. When I go to the disc info and tools menu of NTI to see the info about the disc, and I have any kind of blank CD in the drive, it recognizes it as empty. It just started doing this when I upgraded to Win2k. Any ideas???

is this a zen question? A blank disk IS empty, ain't it?

[giambona]

heh exactly what i was thinking. :P please clarify.:

It recognizes the drive as empty, causing it to prompt me to insert a blank CD-R into the drive, even though there is already one in there.

Chosenfool,

I remember reading that the adaptec drivers are not supposed to be installed on W2K, and if I remember right it was on the adaptec site...

install easy cd creator 4 or 5, that has aspi drivers in it

I jwould, except I don't have it.

no, you can go ahead and install the aspi layer, as long as it is the most current one.

It might also just be a driver issue for the chipset. if you use a via based board, make sure you are using the most current 4 in 1 drivers, especially since older ones sometimes broke in win2k.

Yay, it works. Downloaded the ASPI layer and made it work! :D:D:D Thanx chosenfool.
