CD Burner freezes as soon as media is loaded.

[daxx]

I have an HP 7500 Series external CD-Writer Plus. It is installed properly and there is not a conflict in system devices at all. However, whenever a cd is inserted, I get a BSOD. And I will get it again after reboot for as long as the media is loaded in the burner. When cd is taken out, I'll end up with a clean reboot.

I have lowered the read setting as suggested in this forum, but it did not do the job. What else should I be checking?

Thanks in advance, folks . . .

hello

you can check the hp support site, CD-burners usually have a firmware updated that may help...which means it updateds the bios inside your cd-rom drive...also i heard there was some problem with hp drives before...so check up on the internet and see if you have the same problem.

thanks,
hui

What operating system are you running and what CD burning software is installed?

Have you turned OFF the autorun option for Cd's?
You can do this in tweakui, or there's a reg hack somewhere... Cheers,

Just my 2 bits:

You may have a problem with the ASPI drivers, alot of burning software doesnt play nice with certain Windows versions.

Installing other burning sofware simultaneously on your PC can create a mess of driver incompatibilities.

Theres some good info.

Also, I think that all you need to do to stop Autorun is uncheck Auto Notification inside "properties" for the CD drive in question while you're in Control panel, then Windows is unaware when you change disks.
