Hi can you please help I have a DVD rewriter that I am having a few problems with at the moment. I have flashed the latest firmware to the unit, the problems are as follows:- when powering up the computer at the wall socket the led comes on the drive all ok, when switching on the computer if the led's on the drive come on again at various intervals I know that the writer will 100% load as my k drive. If when booting up only the led flashes when the mains is switched on and no led's when I start the computer the drive will not load I then have to drop the 12 volt supply from the unit and re-instate the 12 volts in order for the computer to recognise the drive. Once the drive is up and recognised on the computer there is no problems with it. What I have since found is that if I just get the led's when I power from the wall and no led's when I switch on the computer if I escape to the boot menu I find nothing about the drive in cd group, if I get the led's flashing on the drive then escape to the boot menu it shows usb cd rom 0 freecom dvd +/-rw1 and will load ok,does anyone know what is going on. I have also removed upper and lower filters in the registry. Many thanks. Any help would be appreciated. Regards B Jones |

You need a Windows XP group, rather than in this .NET programming group.
To find the group you need:
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...D-2224A4FEB3EA
Then open your language in the TreeView on the left, scroll down to
"Windows", open and scroll down to "Windows XP" and
select a group from that category.
