I've tried 2 different Samsung DVD burners on my Windows XP SP2 system. On each of them, when I boot up, Windows tries to go through the found new hardware wizard, but it can't find any software to load for these drives. After the Wizard gives up, I get 3 error windows that all say the same thing: "Windows could not load the installer for . Contact your hardware vendor for assistance." You read that right. Could not load installer for "." Then, after I cancel those 3 errors, the drive works as expected, though I personally believe it's not recognizing media as well as it should. It sees Maxell 16X DVD-R media as 8X or 12X at best.
Samsung's web site says there *isn't* any particular Windows drivers that need to be loaded, but Windows wants to load software for either of these drives every time I reboot. The problem does not happen with an older DVD ROM drive I have. Windows found that one and installed it as expected.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Max.
