Hi,

I'm having a problem with Simple Burner. It no longer recognizes my cd drive! if i go into 'config' neither of my two drives come up in the option list. If i open the cd drives and close them one of them will be displayed in the option list but it doesn't let me test them (the start button underneath wont become enabled).

It no longer recognizes either of my drives to transfer from cd straight to md!

Any Ideas?

I was using an old version of sonicstage. I think it stopped recognizing the drives when i installed my dvd re-writer. None of my other programs are having difficulty reading either of my drives. I'm using Windows XP. I tried installing the newest version of sonic stage but it didn't make any difference.

If your DVD re-writer software is an add-on driver, it might be interfering with Sony's software attempting to find the drives.

It may also have installed a deprecated ASPI driver.

I would suggest that you try removing the DVD rewriter driver to see if that fixes the problem. You should still be able to use DVD+/-RWs with XP's writing util as well as with Nero and other writing utilities. As a general rule of thumb, the UDF drivers included with almost all writers [except for DVD-RAM drives] are not necessary for using RW drives in XP. Most UDF drivers cause more problems than they're supposed to solve.

Thanks, I'll give that a try later. What I don't understand is how it affected my other drive? Surely the other drive would still use the same driver.

I guess i'll soon find out!
