I've got CDRWIN ver. 4.0a and it won't recognize my 6x external Acer cdrw drive. It's a usb connected drive. I don't know if that's the problem or not? Any suggestions? Thanks

No, my Mitsumi USB burner works great with CDRWin. You may check the Supported Devices page on http://www.goldenhawk.com to see if your burner is supported.

It's says it's supported. I wonder if I need to download something though. Doesn't make sense.:mad:

Keep in mind CDRWIN ver. 4.0a is a beta version, it will have some bugs (more than a production version).

Never thought of that...I guess I'll try version 3.8 to see what happens. Thanks for the insight.

Before going back to 3.8, have you checked the ASPI layer? If not, please do so.

Get ASPI Check & Force ASPI from this page http://www.cyrus.troy.btinternet.co.uk/downloads.htm . Use ASPI Check to see if you have the correct ASPI layer. If not, unzip Force ASPI to a folder then run INSTASPI.BAT to update it.

Greets :) Is It that latest version? Have you Just dl it ? Cdrwin is known to make updates to a version and call it the samething (never change the name or build) My version is (4.0a September 2001) Just a Thought!

Been gone for a while. Just ran the test and found problems with the ASPI. I then d/l Force ASPI and ran it without a problem. Now it works fine. I shoulda figured it was an ASPI thing. Thanks.:beer:

Lots of burning problems are caused by incorrect ASPI layer so when we have problems with burning, the 1st thing we need to do is to check & update the ASPI layer, especially for new systems & newly installed OS.
