Hi guys, could anyone help an idiot please?

[Louise01]

Hi there.. I rebooted my computer from scratch and had it customly built, I have a DVD rom drive and a CD-WRiter 48x12x48x drive, but I don't know the make of my cd writer, and thus I can't find the drivers for it.. So i can't copy stuff onto cds, can anyone help me and tell me what I can do? :/

[kazz0817]

go to start/control panel/ then click on system, and go to hardware tab, then device manager, look under cd-roms should show the make of your drive, it does on mine anyway

[Louise01]

Ah you're right, its an Artec WRR-4848
How would I go about getting the latest driver?

[marvel2020]

Louise01 you could do a search on Google for drivers for your drive, but don't really get your hopes up on finding any.

The drive itself should already be supported on your system and you will probably only need the lastest version Aspi Layer installed on your system to make it more compatible with the Burning Software that your gonna use.

Again do a search for that on Google or your could go here.....


www.adaptec.com

and use the search option at the top to look for Aspi Layer

[Louise01]

I used that ASPi checker thing and it says

Component APIX.VXD version 4

WNASPI32.DLL Version 1 , is that any use? :/

[FOO]

It would help to know what OS you are using

[Louise01]

Windows ME at the moment )

and thanks alot guys, i am so stupid with computers

There's your problem.

When we see this happen during DVD burning, it's commonly due to shit media. But I gots to be honest with ya, I haven't seen this error with CD burning in a long time. I suspect that...

01:54:12 #17 Phase 36 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1841
Burn process started at 48x (7,200 KB/s)

...this is the problem that generated the failure. Nero didn't like the results it got when testing the media at such a high speed.

Try another burn, but reduce the speed to 12X or 16X, and see if it works.

Louise01,
I didnt see what type of computer you have.
What you really need to do is upgrade to Windows XP Home or Professional. Windows ME will be next to impossible to find things for.

[hhhhbk]

i suggest windows xp too
it detects and installs the driver automatically for every cdrw and dvd drive i have ever encountered
