cd burner wont burn!!!
I recently formatted my hard drive (Dell 2300 Dimension desktop) and now my
burner won't burn. The light just flashes, and then i have to reboot to get the cd out! Did I not install the driver properly? My device driver says that the device IS working properly. It is, but i cannot burn audio, or video files........please help!! |

cd burner wont burn!!!
Before reformatting, did you physically change/add a new hdd, or
remove/replace the cables? If so, check the settings and ensure the jumpers/connectors are correct (master/slave setting). If it was working before and you haven't touched the cables - ensure the flat cable connectors are fully seated in both the hdd and the cd/rw (just press them firmly in). If that doesn't improve things, in Device Manager, try uninstalling, rebott, and re-install the CD/RW. One last thought - (since reformatting lost all the installed drivers) - is there an updated driver (later than that on the CD/RW installation CD) either from CD mfr site, or from Microsoft ? Hope this helps. Len "skrewedup" wrote in message ... I recently formatted my hard drive (Dell 2300 Dimension desktop) and now my burner won't burn.

you DID reinstall your burner program?
also some software requires patches to work with XP, easyCD creator is one of those. |
