Great now I can't burn CDs. I have inserted a blank new CDRW disk into my drive ready to start burning, but when I want to explore the empty disk I keep getting the following error message:



Any ideas?

 

CD-R or R/W?

Some drives just don't like rewritables.

 

What burning software you using? Whats the drive model? Also this might help from MS.

The CDs I'm currently using have been ok, all I bloody need is extra expense.

 

Fixed it by changing the CD drive from secondary slave to master.

 

Was it connected via SCSI BUS then wizard ?

 

SCSI bus doesnt use those concepts
it uses SCSI IDs to identify devices on the SCSI bus

IDE channels support only 2 devices (master and slave) and most motherboards have two IDE channels (thus primary and secondary)

 

Got confused because thought that ATA IDE only supported 2 drives, thanks for clearing that up Phoneix
