Hey folks,
I have a TEAC CD-W540E CDRW drive, which works fine reading CDs but every time I try to burn a CD, I get a "communication error" or I get a "There is no cd in the drive. Please insert a writable CD to continue" message.
It's currently set as Master on the 2nd IDE interface. There are no other drives on the chain. I've tried is as a slave on IDE 1 (w/HD as master), I've tried moving my HD to IDE3 (onboard raid) and putting the CDRW on IDE 1. I've tried a clean install of XP. I've tried an assortment of ATAPI drivers and I've tried taking it back and swapping it out for a new one. I've tried replacing the cables. I've tried it with both ATA 33 and ATA 100 cables. Same result. I have a Soyo P4S64DX Dragon Ultra MB with the latest bios and drivers. Any other suggestions?
