295443	2004-11-23 08:45:00	Hi i recently purchased a new DVD Writer. the Samsung TS-H542A Now when i try to burn a regular cd of audio or even data. it does not work. even when i press eject the drive will not open. and i am forced to restart. i dont really want to try burning a dvd because of the waste of the disc if it fails. i have tried burning use Nero and also Media Player but they both do not work. Can any one help out?	help_me (1501)
295444	2004-11-23 08:50:00	Does the drive recognise CD's or DVD's when you pop them in? Somewhere in the Nero menu's across the top of the window there is a Recorder or Select recorder tool, have you selected the new drive using that or is the option to do so, greyed out? Murray P	Murray P (44)
295445	2004-11-23 08:53:00	I have selected the option to burn cd in nero on the new drive. the funny thing is it worked fine last week when i actually got it. i burnt a few cds. but didnt use it agian until now. it reads regular cds. but at times it just seems to be seeking the data for a while. compared to when i put in a dvd movie it works straight up with not problems	help_me (1501)
295446	2004-11-23 09:07:00	So it's showing as active in Nero, have you actually used the Select Recorder tool, Nero could still be looking for your old drive when it comes to CD's rather than DVD's. Are you using window's drivers or the drive manufacturer's? try using what ever you aren't at the moment. Doe the software need to be registered within so many days of installation? or are you using your original software to burn CD's? Murray P	Murray P (44)
295447	2004-11-23 09:09:00	How do i change to windows drivers. because in checking the drivers 2 of them are not signed. the rest are microsft drivers. how do i make them all microsoft	help_me (1501)
295448	2004-11-23 09:16:00	Signed drivers is another MS dodgeball, if they believe people have time to send them drivers to test if they work then they must have a lot of free time on their hands, developers do test the drivers with XP and they do usually work, even if not signed. Try reinstalling the burning software, flashing the DVD writer, reinstalling the drivers, etc. Cheers, Kame	Kame (312)
295449	2004-11-23 09:18:00	Flashing the DVD Writer? Explain please also the drive never came with drivers it was just using the ones window found. i updated the firmware after the 3rd time when it didnt burn	help_me (1501)
295450	2004-11-23 09:26:00	Updating the firmware is what Kame means by flashing it. It looks like you've done everything expect reinstall the DVD and the software. Are you getting any messages like, the media is copyrighted? Murray P	Murray P (44)

295452	2004-11-23 09:45:00	Have you tried using vendor drivers for it? Pretty low on memory aren't you? Physical memory : 255MB (261616kB) Free physical memory: 72MB (74144kB) Memory in use : 71 % I wonder where your page file exists? Seems the problem is as soon as the writing stage begins, the files being cached could be a problem but whether the cached files has errors would be hard to know. I would try reinstalling, and maybe trying to free up a bit more resources. Kame	Kame (312)
