Greetings on this forum!
I have a CD-RW and a DVD+RW drive on my new system. The CD-RW is a Yamaha CRW-F1E, and the DVD+RW is a Sony DRU-120A. Both are running under Windows 2000 SR2. I can use both to read (data) CDs (and DVDs on the Sony), and the Sony is hooked up to play back audio CDs. I want to use the Yamaha to record audio CDs processed by Steinberg's (now Pinnacle) Clean!, a nice package that records music from various sources (including vinyl), processes them removing noise, clicks, crackle, etc. and records redbook CDs from the processed data.
The problem is, CLEAN! does recognize either drive as a recordable CD, and so won't take the last step and create the CD. So I poked around in the Control Panel, and sure enough, both devices are listed under the DVD/CD-ROM heading, but only as CD-ROM devices.
Both devices are using the same driver (Microsoft 5.0.2183.1), and under the Driver Details, it lists:
--> C:\\WINNT\\System32\\DRIVERS\\cdrom.sys
--> C:\\WINNT\\System32\\DRIVERS\\redbook.sys
--> C:\\WINNT\\System32\\storprop.dll
(Did I say that this is a win2K system? Beats me why the drivers were loaded under C:\\WINNT...)
So Ho do I fool this system into believing that these are CR-RW capable drives?
Thanx...
