Hello,

Problem: Windows XP Pro installs OK via LDW-851S.

However, when I try to install my Asus motherboard drivers I get,
"The dynamic link library Kernel32.dl| could not be found in the specified path
F:\Bin;.:C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT\system;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem."

when trying to install ATI video card driver,
"The procedure entry point mixerGedDevCapsA could not be located in the dynamic link library WINMM.dll"

when trying to install Norton (purpose just trying install any application to see if it can get anything to install) I get message to: "The procedure entry point WriteFi|e could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

when I try to install any app,
"The procedure entry point XXXXXXXX could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."

So the problem is I get those system error messages and I cannot install any driver or application.



Setup:
AMD Athlon 64+
Asus K8V with Via K8T800 chipset
Kingston DDR400 1GB RAM
ATI 9600XT videocard
Seagate ATA100 160GB HDD
Samsung CD-ROM on 2ndry IDE and jumper set to "master"
Lite-On LDW-851S on 2ndry IDE and jumper set to "slave"

OS: Windows XP Pro with SP1 and latest updates from Microsoft.


Obervations/Actions taken:

1) Windows XP Pro or Windows 2000 installs OK on Lite-On LDW-851S
(Samsung drive not present in system)

2)
ALL applications/drivers fail to install with messages above on Lite-On LDW-851S
(Samsung drive removed from system).

ALL applications/drivers installed from Samsung drive or from Hard Disk drive install OK.
(Lite-On LDW-851S removed from system)

3) When opening "My Computer" --> Lite-On LDW-851S is shown up
as "Cyberlink" Not sure why? However, Device manager shows Lite-On LDW-851S.
Device manager indicates Lite-On LDW-851S in at "Location 1(1)"
and "device is working properly"

4) I formatted my C drive three times and reinstalled Win XP Pro twice with SP1
and went to Microsoft and installed all critical updates...same errors above
(Samsung drive removed from system).

5) I formatted C drive again tried installing WIN2000 w/ default SP2...I still get same
error messages above. (Samsung drive removed from system).

I check the C:\WINNT\system32 directory, KERNEL32.dll and winmm.dll are
present in the directory.

6) When Lite-On LDW-851S is on 2ndry IDE and jumper set to "master"
while Samsung drive is set to slave, Windows does not see Lite-On LDW-851S. (Both drives present in system).

Anyone have ideas? Thank you in advance..

Hi quack724, Welcome to our forum! :cool:

You know, burners have to be always the master? and you have to use a 40-wired cable for ATAPI devices;
anyway, it seems your LiteOn does have a worst/faulty CD-optic part; try to get a warranty replacement;

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Duracell.. Yes, I tried the Lite-On on Master
the very first time. The Lite-on as slave was the last set up
to see if I could get it to work.. thanks for your feedback!

HELP: narrowed down problem, DMA mode does not work but PIO mode does

same issue...but I found out that when I use PIO mode on 2ndary IDE
I can finally install apps. As soon as I switch back to DMA mode,
I get the kernel32.dll errors :(

Could this be a motherboard problem???

Additonal info

I swapped out the drive already..and the same symptoms are on the old
and RMA unit so I don't think it is Lite-On problem anymore. ;)

If that different appearance of the second "L" in dll is not an accident on your part, then you may have a virus/trojan ... do you have an antivirus?

LTR12101B,

Thank you for your reply.

In summary I have
- ran Norton AV 2004 with latest definitions in win XP safe mode today
- flashed latest BIOS for K8V MB
- verified BIOS settings
- uninstalled and reinstalled 2ndry IDE controller (when windows detects,
it reinstalls with PIO mode by default).
- tried both 40 wire and 80 wire cable
- tried both master & cable select
- reinstalled chipset drivers

Questions:
- any other suggestions?
- is it possible to use Lite-On LDW-851S in PIO mode? if yes, will
I get reliable data backups?

Thanks again..

Update

I had my set up verified by local PC installer.

The tech reinstalled XP Pro w/ SP1 and
tried several drives.

he said that with a Toshiba DVD-ROM (not sure what model # it is), he could get DMA mode to work but with the Lite-On DVD burner, only PIO mode would work.

He also said that he uses PIO mode at home and has no issue.

So it does not like a burner or Asus K8V Motherboard issue..

Questions:
1) could this just be a firmware issue or perhaps I am just stuck with PIO?

2) Anyone out there running Lite-On burner in PIO mode? any issues?
