hi i'm trying to install an HP surestore cd-writer on a win98 pentium II machine
but apparently there is a driver problem
because when I install the drivers for the writer the PC automatically shuts down after
booting (approx. when loading drivers)
When I boot in safe mode it all works fine
when I uninstall the cd-writer drivers win 98
boots just fine again
has anyone ever heard of this before?
if you did please leave a message or mail me

thanks
Which HP writer is it???
If it is using the Adaptec Easy CD Creator software download the patch to 3.5a ( or B now I think ) and update the firmware for the writer if needed.
Ensure the drive if IDE is set to SECONDARY MASTER , if it is SCSI then set it to the last but one device in the chain. Ensure the reader is directly the next device in the chain on both IDE & SCSI.
Remove all DOS drivers ( even for the reader drive ).
Ente win98 in safe mode & uncheck the DMA check box for the writer under device manager.
Also download the latst ASPI drivers from Adaptec.com.
Give these a try. These normally cure most CDR probs
