Strange...

Hey all,

My Pioneer 108 drive wont read, burn or anything though windows. But if I use nero I can burn to the drive.

I've updated firmware but still the same, does anyone have a link to drives for this drive as I got a feeling it might be this..

right click on my computer
properties
hardware tab
device manager
find the cd writer
right click, properties
in one of the tabs theres an option to activate windows usage.

hope this helps.

Are you using the nVidia IDE drivers or the Microsoft ones? Check that out and switch to Microsoft if you are using the nVidia ones.
They are well-known for being buggy and bad.

Right click my computer -> select settings (or whatever the one furthest down is named on english XP) -> select the 3rd tab on the lower line of tabs -> choose the one that shows all hardware installed whatever it is named something like Device Manager -> Double click IDE ATA/ATAPI... -> double click Primary IDE-channel -> Select the drivers tab and see if it says Microsoft or nVidia.
Note: some names might not be correct as I do not remember the names of english XP (using swedish here).
