(Solved)my dvd writer could not write or burn anything
jraju:
Hi, samson, I have tried all the tricks, but cd drive refuse to listen to my commands. It behaves itself , as if , for every solution or try a thing, it will behave differently in my xp. now the error message, is read media error, or there are no readable media in the disc.
Hi, Moreover, windows xp explorer is connected to this drive, which does not show the contents or show it as blank. The solution evades me, like hp 7561 ata drivers.
the original hp came with optiarc 7561 a ata driver, for which i could not find drivers properly.
Hi, samson, do you have any idea that laptop is having cd drivers included in their hard disk drivers or controller drivers. i did not find the drivers.
Still, the laptops are supplied only works with its original drives and not supporting the replaced drives. fanstastic hp gift for users.
Please tell me about usb cd dvd drives, and recommend me to have both cd dvd capabilities.

I don't think specific drivers are required, the generic drivers in XP work fine on every XP machine I have ever used.....Have you uninstalled the drive and let XP discover it and then install the drivers itself? I still think that the drive itself is faulty :wink:
jraju:
Hi, samson, i understand your point. when the original drive was removed, i did not think that tech guy, has uninstalled its driver generic. would this cause, something, as the registry entries as well as drivers are still present in the registry and location in c:
what about your recommendation on usb cd dvd drive,
Samson:
This is the XP driver version on all my XP machines 5.1.2535.0 dated 1/7/2001 check yours...
I can't recommend a USB DVD as I have n't used one.
jraju:
Hi, the same generic driver here also. But what about specific drivers for burning.
I think that four drives are packed in to that optiarc drives. read write cd read write dvd. so, should be problematic, if there is problem in one of the drives. could you send cdrom.inf file for xp sp3.will it be same for all having the same version.
