I have an AOpen CRW5224 which I believe to be a Mount Rainier compatable drive. After
unchecking the Mount Rainier option and also unchecking the XP burn option I could
not INCD format a CDRW disk it would always fail the disk would be unusable and attempting
to access the disk would make the system unstable so much so that the system could
not be shut down without recycling the power. I could burn disks with standard nero
ISO burning.
I've now converted the machine to Roxio because my other machines use this technology
as already described. I encountered similar problems which improved slightly when
I uninstalled, via Device Manager, the CRW5224 to let XP reinstall it with the new
software but was still unstable.
I updated the firmware for the CRW5224 from 1.05 to 1.08 via 1.06 and 1.07 rebooting
the machine each time and then uninstalling the CRW5224 to let XP reinstall it. It
now seems to be stable although it's still early days.
The moral of this story is make sure you are using the latest firmware for a recorder,
readers can view the comments on the firmware upgrades for CRW5224 on the AOpen site.
