Creative CDRW 4x2x24x won't burn.

[Bozman]

I have a duron 600, 128 meg RAM, 10 gig HD, Acer CDROM, Creative CDRW 4x2x24, Windows XP

Problem: I can't burn cd's. Windows burning software doesn't acknowledge that a cd is in the drive, and Nero says that burning is complete, but doesn't actually burn anything.

I tried the drive on another WinXP computer and it worked fine. I also used Nero on the other computer. I have tried a complete format/reinstall of WinXP and it still won't burn. That is where I am sitting right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have also changed the registry in WinXP to make sure WinXP recognizes the drive as a writer, to no avail. It is on the primary ide, the second cdrom is on the secondary ide. I have swapped both drives, but it made no difference.

Thanks for your help in advance.

All windows updates have been installed.

I believe there is a windows update that addresses this issue. You can get to it via IE and links and windows updates.

Hope this helps,
