| Erase CD-RW issues with windows xp wizard hello friends. I am new here and was happy to discover this forum for cd's issues. the faq section helped me a lot and provided much info for me. One thing i couldn't resolve is this: I have a brand new NEC Optiarc DVD RW AD-7170A (nero infotool). First of all - windows xp recognize the drive as cd-drive in My Computer display. When i insert a cdrw, it doesn't allow me to erase the cd. From my search on the web, I managed to change a registry setting to a value of 2 for xp to recognize the burner as a writable drive. I want to be able to erase my cdrw with xp's ability. I believe it's a driver issue of the burner (since it's new) or a firmware - but untill here - it's all i know. I'd appriciate any help in this matter. Thanks. |

| Re: Erase CD-RW issues with windows xp wizard When you fitted the drive , Did you jumper it correctly?, Did you check bios settings?, Silly questions I know but without the info... help will be hard to determine. It`s bad enough on here to get a reply as it is |

| Re: Erase CD-RW issues with windows xp wizard Have you tried erasing with ImgBurn? Somehow ImgBurn is more successful at erasing than other software does, but YMMV.

| Re: Erase CD-RW issues with windows xp wizard hello all. Thanks for replying. Todge - i have purchased a full new pc station and it was built in the supplier's lab. kg_evilboy - I havn't tried ImgBurn yet but have tried to erase with nero - with no problem. In addition, Burning is ok. I just want the xp function to be available since sometimes it's comfortable for me. So - any suggestions on this one? Many thanks. |
