Has anyone here installed this drive in windows 2000.

The drive does not come with any installation disc except for Roxio and stuff... Just wondering if I have to download something or whatever....

Thanx all

Did you "remove" your cdrom from the control panel before taking it out and puting the burner in? Also download and install aspi 4.6(stay away from 4.7)

It took some searching but you can get 4.6 here (http://www.phs.at/downloads/aspi/aspi_460.exe)

HUH!!! :confused:

Ok... What have I missed.....

I use 4.7 and haven't had any problems at all.....

Some are ok with it some aren't. I think it was last week somebody was getting errors with every burning prog they tried. I told them to switch from 4.7 to 4.6 and all was fixed.:)

Nero and CloneCD actually. You can read the post here (http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50946)

no no no....

What I meant was this is the same deal as:

Primo DVD wont work with my A05, but it WILL work for someone else.........

So these new aspi drivers work for me, but don't work for others...

I think I just like trying to confuse you...... :)

I guess so:D I get ya now. Just a thought, have you tried using ASPI 4.6 with Primo to see if that works?

Nah.....

After all the BS I went through originally to try and get it to work.....

Once I got RecordNow Max.... I said the HELL with it........:D

I'm about to set up a new computer with 2-200gig drives with multiple Operating Systems, so I will try all different combinations then to see if I can find a work around for others.....
