IBM-T40 & Mat****a UJDA745 CD/DVD r/w

**4-Toes** · January 3rd, 2007, 12:33 PM

After, (I believe) a Windows XP Pro SP2 upgrade my CD/DVD R/W quit writing. The Native Roxio doesn't write. Nero Rel 6.0 doesn't write. MagicISO Rel 5.0 doesn't write. Any new drivers out for this CD R/W. Took the link out to Matsu****a and it was useless.

Thanks,

Den

Welcome to Windrivers 4-toes

Have you been to IBM for driver updates?
What do you mean about taking the link out of matsu****a?

The Manufacturer has an unmentionable combination of letters which I suppose the automated censor masks out. Maybe that is why it is misspelled a lot

Matsuita (common misspell). No, haven't been out to IBM. I thought for $29.95 (the subsciption cost). It would be a 1-Stop-Shop. My mistake and $29.95 poorer and still searching.

NooNoo: I went out to the IBM support site, as you suggested, and found a firmware update for the specific CD (UJDA745), I have. Am, In the process of creating, the floppy boot disk image needed to perform the upgrade. Thank you for your time and responses. I think I'm headed in the right direction, now. Getting steered into the right direction makes it worth it. Again....Thanks!!!
