THE ANSWER TO YOUR CD, CDRW, DVD PROBLEMS WITH XP

[Rich]

Hi,
See my answer to New DVD, CD-RW below.
Sounds strange but got it to work.
Really looks like XP has hardware issues!
Thanx all for the help.

Rich;

Yes, but you lose many features and most of the speed of your drives in
PIO mode. Did you try switching to a DMA66/DMA100 cable? What abour
removing the unpper and lower filters limit so that the drives can operate
with DMA enabled?
