MSI CDRW Probs :(
Posted: Wed Mar 24, 2004 7:27 pm
Hi guys and gals I'm having some probs (as you've probably guessed) and I've been sent here from the IANAG forums because you lot are supposed to be good
OK, here we go:
My specs:
AMD Athlon XP2000+
ECS K7S5A
2x 128mb generic PC2100 DDR
Geforce 2 MX400 64mb
MSI CD-RW ms-8348 (CR-48A) 48x16x48x
Samsung DVD-ROM SD-616Q
Win XP Pro + Win 98SE (Dual boot)
I'm having some serious problems with my CD writer. Every time I try to burn a CD, it stops responding completely. If I manage to get a CD burned, I can't do any more without restarting windows (either version). The maximum I can write a CDR is 12x, and the max for a CDRW is 4x. It's been like this since day one, but unfortunately the shop I bought it from went bust. Without thinking, I threw out the receipt, so I have no proof of when I bought the drive. I've reinstalled both versions of windows, tried the drive in another machine (win 98SE), and updated the firmware through the MSI site, but none of this has helped.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help
