CDRW Prob

Ok seem to be having a problem with my cr@ppy 40x Eversping CDRW. When ever I put in a blank disc the LED on the front flashes twice then constantly flashes but does not recognise that a CD has been inserted. My current set up is CDRW to HD to PRIMARY IDE SLOT on mb and then CDR to secondary slot on mb. I tried changing the IDE cable and rebooting but it asks me to insert boot up disk...why ...Is my burner f****d or can anybody suggest anything

Thx

How old is it? Possibly an RMA case there!

 

The CDRW is only about 3 months old

 

I would try RMAing it then and see if a new one is any better! Could well be just a faulty Drive. Other than that, have you checked the jumper settings on the back of the drive?

 

Will check the jumper settings..If not going back to Ebuyer....Cowbaoys that they are. This is the 3rd faulty CDRW I have had from them...Not all mine

Thanks for the info jamiesurfs

 

I thought you had already RMA'd that damned thing Lith.

 

This is my one mate and has been RMA'd now...bloody Ebuyer
