Problem with CD Writer TEAC cd-w512e

[TRX]

Hi all.
I'm brand new on this forum, but a friend of mine has big problems with his teac cd-w512e, so i hope someone will be of some help ! (would be very kind! : ) )

the Writer is an IDE (model E) but is recognized by Win2000 as the SCSI Model teac cd-w512EB...
In Windows Properties, also than in every CDWrite Software, such as NERO 5...
Of course, every attemp to burn anything has failed.

Box is Clear, CDWriter is clear, it is really a teac cd-w512E, and it reads CD fine.
Can anyone know how to 'force' the system to accept it as an cd-w512e ?
It seems not to exist any driver for it nor any firmware update... So, I'm Lost ! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Thanks for answers. If it appears to you to be a Newbie question, just tell me and I'll kick my friend !

Bye,

The thing is : Win2000 waits for a SCSI drive, and it is an IDE ! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
Nor quite the same thing !

I got some news : the Writer works well under Win98, and is well recognized as an EB, IDE, Burnproof... yag...

I made a mistake on my last post, as I believed than EB =SCSI and E = IDE... The fact is than EB only means Burnproof (Er, I hope ! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif )

Thanks for answer, and excuse me for bad comprehension ! http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

i have the exact same burner except in win 98 which works great as you stated. but heres a link that you might look at for windows 2000 users of nero. check the paragraph on when nero starts up an error occurs. also what firmware are you using i flashed to 2.0D a while ago available at teac's page but they say flash cant be done in win 2000, http://www.ahead.de/en/w2k.htm

I'm not sure as to what the problem really is..

One thing though, it seems as if some burning software will not work correctly if there is another one loaded in the system.

Try removing all but one and see if it works correctly..

Is it a BIG deal that the numbers aren't shown right ?
