plextor

[cypherkin]

hi,
I just installed a cdrw. Its the plextor 12/10/32A...
I had no problems wen i was running windows98 or windows ME. But wen i loaded up win2k, and tried burning only my first cd came out ok.. Every other time wenever i try burning smething on a Cdr for some reason it just gives me errors. For that matter when i use adaptec easy cd creator for a datacd. It does this wierd sort of thing where it keeps refreshing itself. Lets just say i clicked on file.. and am scrolling down to save as.. 2 seconds later it "refreshes" where it thinks that i havent pressed file.. so it automaticaly goes back..
I cant describe it any better way except if i try to rename something in it, and i start typing it automaticaly ends my typing all by itself.. even wen im not done naming the file.

someone please help me out with this problem. Is there a driver problem?? i Tried burning cds w/ nero and Easy cd creator.. both give similar kinda problem.

Any help is much appreciated
thank you
Ajay

Yep ... you need a firmware and a driver update, because that drive has BURN-proof, and should function perfectly in Win2K with Nero 5. Just avoid EZ Creator 5; even with the patches, it's none too stable.
