LG CD-RW problem

[Jarek]

Hello

Since I have upgraded my computer to Athlon 2000 XP / Soltek 75FRN2-L i
noticed a problem with my CD-RW. My WinXP Pro boot time (and shut down) is
about 5-6 min !!!
When i disconnect it, everything is just fine. I've tried every
configuration with jumpers and cables. Every time i try to do sth with cd-rw
computer slows down alot !!!. I get an error (in control panel) saying that
device ( \Device\Ide\IdePort1) doesn't response in time limit.

How to make my CD-RW work normaly ???


PS, and of course I cant write CD's

could b your cdrw is knacked, try another device on that channel if it works
you might have to get another cdrw drive.
i had the same sort of problem with a new philips cdrw-oem drive and took it
back to the shop and they replaced it, replacement worked fine (another
philips).
at about £20-£30 you can't crumble.
