50253 2002-05-23 00:16:00 Does anyone know where to obtain suitable software for a Samsung CD-R/RW SW-208F to work with Win XP pro? The software that came the computer and Cd writer only supports Win Me and the CD writer won't work now I have upgrade the operating system.Help required!! Guest (0)
50254 2002-05-23 00:34:00 You could try HP's RecordNow, a free download from the HP site (do a search on RecordNow)

Its designed for XP on HP Pavilion PC's but dont see why it wouldnt work generically?

It works fine on my HP machines under XP, I had the same problems as you.

Have you tried the Windows XP built-in CD burner software? Apparently that works quite well (although I don't have a burner, so I don't speak from my own experience, but a trusted friend informs me that this is true).

50257 2002-05-23 02:13:00 I use RecordNow on my non HP PC and an HP 9100 CDRW and it is great. I don't think that it works on non - HP CDRW's, as I couldn't get it to set up on a friend's Acer CDRW.

Worth a shot for you though, here's the RecordNow Link:

Alternatively - use Kazaa to search for and download Nero Burning ROM or similar.
