LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Your drive probably dates back way before they started following MMC specifications. Sorry but you're out of luck, your drive is not supported. I might be able to figure something out if you press F8 before clicking the write button, then press F8 again after it has totally failed. SAVE the log as a file and attach it in a post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 <nosey mode> How old is your CD-RW drive vek ? </nosey mode> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vek Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hi guys, The CD-RW drive is rather old as is the box itself. Hmm, I may be SOL then. When I get home tonight I'll try the F8 tip and post a full log. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
