It should work fine on W2K too!

Have you checked the Bus Master drivers and the DMA options??

Do you mean that the drive reads some CDs and doesn't read some others? Does it actually read some CDs??

CD-RW use Packet writing or UDF file system..

the windows 2k driver is very different than the Win98 driver.. .

try to get the free udf reader from adaptec site.
