Windows XP & Cdroms


Recommended Posts

Hello:

i just wanted to know if someone remembers a tweak, in the registry, that makes Windows to recognize your CDrom as a RW an R or no comparible with XP, it was something about Type=1 where 1=CDRW, 2=??? and 3=???, but alse there was an option of changing the speed of the burner, i tried that and my Yamaha 24x10x40 worked 100% good, i reinstalled XP and now i can only burn @ 16X, and the CDs are the same, i can't remember where i found that tweak, but i think it was here, Help please!

The behavior may be that Windows XP could not recognize the  CD-RW drive automatically. Let's perform the following steps to modify the registry to  let Windows XP treats the device as the CD-RW.

1. Run Regedit to open the Registry Editor

2. Switch to the following key HKEY CURRENT USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerCD BurningDrives

All CD drives show up in same key "Drive Type" value determines whether drive is capable of  writing and rewriting

01=CD-R Drive

02=CD-RW Drive

03=Write Disabled

3. Note: if you have more than 1 CD-ROM / CD-RW devices  installed, you will  see the related items under the Drivers. Please change the keys  one by one, so you can find the correct key.

After doing the above steps, try to burn the CDs in Windows XP.
