cdrw won't work

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Ok, winxp sp2, roxio basic 5.3.5.10 (latest upgade)
I put a cdrw in and it flashs for a few seconds then spits it back out.
And I have no recording tab on the properties from device manger.
Is my cdrw Lite-On 24102B-5GS3 fried?
There is no firmware upgrade from lite-on for this model.
There was problems with it even before the sp2 upgrade.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

You may have to upgrade to Roxio 6/7 and you may also have to locate the
upper/lower filter fix on Kelly's Korner patches.

Thanks for all the replies.

Yeah I've tried it with xp's writing tools too.
Funny, it'll take a cdr and not spit it out, but each program hangs and
freezes
when I try to record.
I've gone into the reg. to make sure the value was set to 2.
Also I've uninstalled roxio(creative)5-accordingly with their instructions-
and tryed it and still no dice.
But I can't find the upper and lower filter thing, I've found the number,
but no filters. So I tryed to delete the whole number but it wouldn't let
me.

Thanks again, I'll still keep a watch on this to see if anyone else has
anything.

btw I did find the recording tab. Open My Computer and right click the drive
and hit properties, and it's there. Instead of right clicking My Computer
and properties-device manager
-cdrom-liteon-properties.

O well....

If you had problems before, it's likely to be either CDRW drivers or, yes,
it's fried. Have you tried it using XP built-in CR write prog? Does it read
CD's (and download from them?) If drivers good, and answers no - it's
shopping day!

with the lastest roxio patch, it should work with XP.

i'd try it on another pc, but my money is on replacement time.
