huguia Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have this strange thing happening at my P4 with Windows 98 SE and SP3 BETA 4. I have installed several cd burning programs but none of them recognize the drive to be capable of burning cds. When I use Windows XP i can easily burn, but in 98 no! It's a Pioneer Drive and still works.Help me plz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Which softwares have you used? You never said the Vendors/Versions, so hard to tell...Have you tried this? Two step process - Read Disk to Image OR Create image, THEN Write Disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two step process - Read Disk to Image OR Create image, THEN Write Disk.Yup! I have used ImgBurn and it doesn't recognize the drive as being able to burn. At the Device Manager it shows: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-109 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hmmm... Did you "swap" another out and replace it with this one?Try this -Boot to 98SE Safe Mode and in Device Manager - REMOVE any/all CD/DVD Devices and reboot. It SHOULD "find" it again. If not, do an "Add New Hardware". Also, if you have ANY references to a CD Device (eg MSCDEX) in AUTOEXEC.BAT/CONFIG.SYS edit them by putting REM+SPACE in front and save them.Addendum - was this a CLEAN install of 98SE+SP3? There IS a requirement to install CLEAN and install OTHER packages before/after SP3 (the order of install is important). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
