I have an acer 5630WLMI laptop. it came with vista home premium (sux) and i put windows XP on it.
the drive stopped burrning cd's
it thinks it is and then gets to the verification and fails.
when burning its only a green light not the usual red one.
and acer dont have drivers for it.
can any1 help?
my mate spoke of a generic driver that will make pretty much any cd/dvd drive work.
any light on this? much thanx.
Welcome to Windrivers Euphoria
What are you using to burn cds?
Try using the free burning version at http://www.deepburner.com
CD drives don't need drivers - they use the same drivers that drive your hard drives. They do use aspi, which some people call drivers. Try deepburner first, then we will go digging.
i tried nero 7, nero 5, nero 6 and some old nero that came with my old lite-on 52x24x52 drive in my other pc.
and i had nero 5 with vista and it workd, and nero 7 wif vista and it workd,
just xp doesnt.
event the windows burning thing doesnt work.
it reads cd's and dvd's just fine.
WOW it workd! thanks heaps!
this program is really confusing to use :(
do you know how i can make nero 5/7 work for me though?
sorry for tripple post i didnt realise its not instant show.
Nero 6 or 7 should be used with XP.
Try a burn with Nero now and post the burn log.
atm i have nero express installed. i think its nero 5. cant remember what it said on the disk.
odd. nero workd this time, it didnt do verification O.o
You can download updates from Nero for Nero 5 -- open nero, click help, then about Nero.
Have you tried to burn and kept the log?
nah i tried with nero and it workd this time.
Cool, installing deepburner obviously recopied the files you needed.
u think nero 7 will work then? (i wanan burn dvds lol)
Yup, I run Nero 7. Uninstall Nero 5 first though!
aight, thx for that :)
ok update.
neither deepburner or nero burns audio cd's, no errors or anything but the cd comes up as a blank again after burning.
when i burnt a dvd it came up wif an error or 2 but it seems like the disc still worked...
any ideas?
my only good idea is 2 throw the thing out the window and build a custom pc that WORKS...
So it burns dvds but not cds?
Which errors did it come up with?
If you want help, you are going to have to be more accurate about what happened and post exactly what the error message(s) said.
