Samsung sw-216b

[pvh]

Hi,

I am having the following problem with my samsung sw-216b CD-R writer:
I have installed the thing, connected it up to an IDE connection on the motherboard and everything seems h/w wise to be ok. The bios is happy , win98 is happy and I can READ anything from a cd. However when it comes come to writing or formatting a CD, it does not want to know about the drive. I am using Nero 5 for writing and when I want to select the drive for writing, I can only see a virtual drive and not the Samsung drive.

The big question is: what have I done wrong!

Rgrds,

Pieter

Hi pvh, Welcome to our forum!

some things may cause your problem;
1. a faulty ASPI layer; use ForceASPI 1.7: http://www.dvdrbase.com/showthread.php?t=32137
2. a wrong Nero serial, when you didn't install Nero from the CD which came bundled with you drive;
