I may be being stupid here, but I just put a modchip in my PS2 and bought a Freecom Classic CDRW. When I put a PS2 game disc in the CD drive on my PC to copy, the computer cannot read the disc. I tried on another PC and all I get is 'please insert a disc in drive d:'. I've tried two different PS2 discs. What am I doing wrong?!?
At the moment I cant even copy the contents of the PS2 disc to my hard drive to patch!!
Thanks for any help you can offer!!

First, the dumb one. I presume it wasn't a DVD game you put into the CD Drive! Or do you have the Classic CDRW/DVD combo in which case it's possibly a DVD game and you're using Windows 98 which doesn't like files > 2GB (thanks SIM).
Second, is it Windows Explorer that's refusing to see the CD? Or if not what is it? CDRWin?
Third, if it's CDRWin, the equally common question - have you got the ASPI layer installed? If it's supplied Roxio software, this requires ASPI (although I'd expect it to have been installed at the same time).
Perhaps also you could check under Device Manager as to what the underlying CD RW is on the Freecom Classic? For example my Freecom DVD-ROM is a Toshiba C1502 - useful to know. It is the underlying device that has to be compatible withg CDRWin and CloneCD. I would expect all CD-RWs to be seen by Windows Explorer. I also believe that Freecom supply underlying YAMAHA devices.
Has any of the above helped?
