re: cd burner not detected in xp pro Wednesday, January 15, 2003 at 10:43 am Posted by knine (1 messages posted) Everything but your burner is working?????????? Do you mean that your burner is not detected? You do realize that a burner is detected just like a CD-ROM don't you? The CD-ROM should be master secondary IDE and the burner should be slave secondary IDE. This is done by setting the jumpers to master and slave on the CD-ROM and the burner respectively. Why you are going into the bios setup and changing your LPT1 setting is beyond me! I bet some einstein moron told you to do this. Use Roxio 5 Basic for your burner software and go to the roxio web site for the XP update or use Clone CD 4.2.0.2 (it's free). Lots of luck -- you will need it!

Its a Hewlett Packard cd writer plus external. I was told to change my parallel port to EPP instead of ECP. To do that I had to go into my system bios (I have a compaq) and change the settings which was 'supposed' to automatically change it to EPP. OK, I did that and it didn't work. What did work was doing that plus removing my printer, deleting the SCM PPort ADAPI Adapter and restarting my computer. It managed to find my burner and install the drivers for the adapter. Only thing now is my computer is running seriously slow, whenever I try to access my computer or the control panel, etc. My system locks up and I see the flash light icon searching for folders. I ended up doing a system restore just to get my computer to function again and I'm back to square one. ugghhh On Wednesday, January 15, 2003 at 10:43 am, knine wrote: >Everything but your burner is working??????????

That is unusual, to say the least, and all I can suggest is never connect more than one item to a parallel port at one time. I have tried to use so-called pass-through hardware that claim to chain parallel devices as if they were SCSI devices, but they never worked for me. However, if you mean USB (1.1 or 2.0) or firewire or SCSI, please repost with more info. Those are how modern CD burners connect to a PC, with USB 2.0 probably being the most popular today. (I happen to have firewire and that is equally good as USB 2.0. USB 1.1 is very slow, in comparison. SCSI is great, but such hardware is usually over-priced.) Finally, have you verified that this hardware is XP compatible? Not all harware that worked under 98/ME is supposed to work under XP. Check with Microsoft and/or HP. Good luck.

Lets try this - run the driver exe and then stop, this will unzip it to your hard drive , go to device manager and right click that errored atapi controller ,choose properties , choose update driver from the driver tab ? (I don't have an errored entry to look at but i know update or install driver is there somewhere!) When it asks where the new driver is enter C:\WinXP_LPT_Driver and press ok it should proceed to install a driver and may ask you to reboot , ask or not reboot anyway, when you come back up hopefully the error is gone from device manager and you now have a cdrom , now to burn to this drive you need XP COMPATABlE burner software this drive is not supported by XP's native burning , I recommend HP recordnow max ,very XP compatable (version 3.5) , a free download from the 7200e support page only 5.78 megs also if you want to use it like a hard drive get the DLA download also, let us know how it goes, Case On Wednesday, January 15, 2003 at 10:22 am, Tiffany wrote: >I just installed xp pro and everything BUT my burner is working.

I figure my 7200i burned about 1100 disks while i had it and is still alive in a friends PC. On Wednesday, January 15, 2003 at 10:43 am, knine wrote: >Everything but your burner is working??????????

It may be old, but when it works (as it does with 98) it does exactly what I need it to do and that's why I haven't found the need to upgrade it. I'd prefer to get rid of xp pro before the burner, lol...Anyway, I tried downloading the xp drivers and after installing them that's when I came across the error in SCM PPort ADAPI Adapter. I was told to change the parallel port to EPP. Wasn't sure how to do that so I did some research and found that the only way to do it on my machine (compaq) was to go into the system settings and change the setting minus the dma. I did that and it still wasn't working. Then I tried removing my printer, un-installing it, removing the SCM PPort ADAPI, drivers, disconnecting and reconnecting my burner. That worked. When I turned my computer back, it found everything. I unzipped the drivers to C:\WinXP_LPT_Driver as you mentioned and installed from there. I did manage to get it working BUT my computer started acting up when I tried accessing my computer or the control panel. The flashlight icon was searching for folders and the pc began freezing up on me so I had to do a system restore to get it to function again. Something was conflicting with it and I don't know what. Any suggestions as to what I should try now?

I guess I don't believe in upgrading when something still works, lol...and it works just fine, I really don't need anything better. I don't have more then one device connected to my parallel port, I HAD my printer and burner connected together and they worked fine that way with 98 but I have figured out that they wont with XP.

Although I still seem to have the problem with accessing "my computer". EVERYTIME I open (found out it isn't just after restarting) I see the flashlight icon searching for the folders and drives. Why is that? It freezes up my computer for up to a minute or so. Any ideas?

EZCD creates problems for a lot of machines with XP , yet others can use it without errors. Try opening a run box and typing services.msc, from the list find "imapi CD burning com service" (native XP burning) right click it and choose properties , from there set the startup type as "disabled", do the same for "Indexing Service", then reboot and see if it picks up any, post back how it goes.

When I click on my computer and the flashlight icon starts searching, I notice there's noise and lights coming from my burner. Even when clicking around in my computer after the drives and folders are showing, there is a long delay before anything will open. This also happens when I right click on an icon and have to pass by 'send to', it stops responding, up to a minute sometimes.

(1) Start your machine normally, and put up with the flashlight for the time being. (2) When it settles down, put a previously burned CD in the drive. (3) Access the contents of the disc thru WExplorer. Doesn't really matter what you do, just click on some files and folders. (4) Next, click on the C: drive in WExplorer like you normally would. (5) Close WExplorer, and restart. (6) My idea was that WExplorer could be starting up with the new CD burner drive letter as its default, thus causing you the problem of WExplorer looking for something (files on a CD) that isn't there. This happens with floppy disks occasionally.

All that makes sense, when you open those things, windows looks at the CD burner to check to see if there is any type of file on that cd, if the cd has music files it will show that icon, not only that it looks for the name of the CD on the cd, meaning that it has to access the CD, if your using a slow interface between the computer and the CD burner, that would slow it all down while it waits for the information from the cd it needs. Does it connect through USB or serial? you probably said, but I missed it. I'm not quite sure what would help you prevent this problem, its as simple as this, the connection is slow, 98 doesn't expect a fast connection, XP does. I'm not sure if there is some setting you can change that will prevent XP from previewing the CD...but if you can find something, you should be golden, if not, you just have to deal with the lag, or upgrade, or just go back to 98...
