yamaha f1 problem

[frodo]

I have just got a new yamaha cdr f1 after spending the best part of a day on it the best i could do was to get running in dma mw 2 mode.

I have tried every posible way of attaching the drive to the system including as a single drive, slave, cable select, win xp, win 2000, defferent ide cables, disabled the raid, removing in device manager but it will not work in udma mode. The bios reconizes the drive as a udma 2 device.

i did get two errors in event viewer saying.

1, an error was detected on device \device\cdrom1 during paging operation event id 51

2, the driver detected a controller error on \device\cdrom1 event id 11.

I have also had this message when it set up as a single drive but doesn't the error dosen't appear in when the drive is p10 or dma mw 2 mode

I have contacted the place where i bought it and yamaha, yamaha is saying it's a conflict and the other place has never heard of the problem so i thought i would post this for your thoughts on this matter.

Just in case you're not aware of it, have you used a 80-wire cable for your burner?

i have tried different ide cables but it shoudn't make any difference as it is a ata33 device and not a ata66/100 device
