DVD/CD-RW drive errors in XP Pro

[chilledfresh]

Here's an update. I downloaded and installed the following drivers:

Chipset/platform
VIA Hyperion 4in1 drivers version 455vp1

Video card
Radeon Omega drivers version 2.6.05a (Catalyst 5.1)

IDE controllers
VIA IDE Accelerator driver version 120b

Now the audio stutter has stopped, but I still can't burn CDs. Thanks for your input so far, at least we solved one problem.

..IDE controllers
VIA IDE Accelerator driver version 120b

Now the audio stutter has stopped, but I still can't burn CDs. Thanks for your input so far, at least we solved one problem.

At this point I'd try add/removing my writing software (& also any similar stuff like virtual drive software) as they add their own 'drivers' (they are a part of a driver really) to matters & very often due to patching, the various linked inheritances get worked out wrong.

If that doesn't help try removing the enhanced IDE drivers, as they can cause problems too, as they up the efficiency of matters by making the ide controller appear as if it were scsi to windows - but this can cause compatability & translation issues. (re-run the 4-in-1 after )

Hey everybody, thanks for helping me solve this problem. I was able to successfully record a CD after updating the recording software and disabling "Enable CD recording on this drive" for the DVD/CD-RW drive (drive properties > recording).

Thanks again.
