See link-- http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hcl/detail.mspx?ItemID=13250 As mentioned previously try Sony's support website. Also, you could try installing the ASPI drivers package from Nero's download webpage. hth On Thursday, June 12, 2003 at 3:04 pm, Teo Dell'Amico wrote: >So my burner (sony crx1611) isn't being detected by windows XP at all...Whenever >I load burning software (nero, cdrwin, etc) I get errors saying that there is no >medium detected in the drive and therefore it is unable to burn anything.
