Hello.
I'm writing to find out if it is possible to force an eject from an Iomega zip-cdrw instead of rebooting to remove a disk? When I first bought this unit things worked rather smoothly, then after about three weeks everything went downhill. Sometimes the drive unit will not read a disk, to even freezing up the computer. At one point I had to rename an iosubsystem file to the .old extension because of the drive unit had been interfering with the standard CD ROM drive in my Compaq system that prevented me from installing new programs through the standard CD ROM or even playing regular audio CD's, throwing BSO/D and fatal exceptions. It can happen to anyone from any company
.
When the drive works, it works fine. I haven't had any under-runs or damaged CD's. If anyone would have more information on these types of drives and possible remedies that would be great.
I have been to the companies site and there are many other people in just about the same boat, some not very happy. I do not know if it is a hardware or a software issue? I have upgraded just about all the updates I could possibly imagine. I do believe for any problem there is a solution somewhere. It can happen to anybody from any company.
Thank you all for your time in reading this letter.
