Burner cant read image file

[alexx]

Ihave a teac w54e (EXTERNAL BURNER)the problem Im having is I cant get my burner to both read and write an image to my hard drive using clone cd or cdrwin,but if I use my computers cd rom drive to read the image it works fine. clonecd says my burner is compatible and one of the better read and writers.also if I try to burn on the fly it says cant do because computer and burner are on the same IDE cable if so how can i make it so my burner can read on the fly. thanks newbie needs help
