yo guys,
I have a LiteOn 16101b 16/10/40 CDRW drive on my WinXP Pro box. Whenever I burn something, the disc isn't recognized on any of my drives (I have another DVD Drive). however, it works on any other computer. and when I bring it back to my PC it works!! Seems like it won't read it for a while - on the DVD drive it just says "Please insert a disc into drive E:" and on the CDRW drive it just shows noting on the cd.
but then it starts working later... any ideas?
I've (of course) tried refreshing the view, ejecting/inserting the disc, but it just takes a while and then it reads fine.

What burning software are you using? Is it a CDR or a CDRW?

[riz]

using any software - ezcd 5 platinum, cdrwin 3.8e, nero 5.0.4.6 (bundled)

it's a CDRW drive.

I had the same problems using Nero and Diskjuggler - until I disabled the XP built in burning support. Since then, I have had no issues.

How do you disable the XP built in burning support?

[BlaZeR2]

in "my computer"
just right click on the burner and their will be a tab for recording

then there is a check box for enabling and disabling recording

At least yours is a software problem.

My Pioneer CD-R pretty much died today so I'm going to buy one of those RICOH CD-RW/DVD-Rom combo drives to replace my two drive system.

I ahve to give the Pioneer DVD back to my friend so I lost my nice slot loading system.

Oh well, karma's a b1tch.
