CDRW trouble


Recommended Posts

I've got a Plextor 16/8/40 running under XP Pro. I've tried Roxio, Nero, and CDRWIN in it. CDRWIN bluescreens the second I open it, and both Roxio and Nero can't seem to get past writing the table of contents, when I get a "no seek complete" error. I've turned DMA on and off, tried different brands of CD-Rs, nothing. Any ideas?

reinstall the aspi layer, and get rid off roxio. i had the same problem. the problem was gone when i uninstalled the roxio, and reinstalled aspi.

good luck

p.s. it is 16/10/40 not 16/8/40

I can tell the problem is definetly not a software problem. The CD just whirrs and whirrs, Windows, Linux, or whatever I run it in. Stop blaming crappy ASPI layers. I sat on hold w/ Plextor trying to get an RMA for almost 2 hours and got nothing. Damn techies.

Have u actually tried opening up ya machine and checking the IDE cable or the power? take them both out, blow them and then put them back in securely, this is probably your problem

I had a similar problem

Returned it and got a new one...

One catch though...if you put it above a dvd it creates alot of heat

so space it up one if you got the room.

that was my burners problem

,...hope this helps

I think it may be a physical problem w/ the drive itself. I've tried booting and reading from the drive and neither will work, it just whirrs and dies.

Your drive souldn't be making noises like that. Take it back if you can. Plextor has a 1 year warranty.
