Blinking Yellow Light on HP CD-RW
I am trying to use, as a second CD drive, an older
HP CD-RW. I have it installed as a slave on the primary IDE controller, and both BIOS and Win98SE find it just fine. But when I load a CD, any CD, first the green light on the drive blinks slowly while it seeks, but then the yellow light starts blinking fast instead. Whasup? I can't find any info on what a blinking yellow light means. I'm guessing the drive is bad; the lazer is shot or something. But might this be a driver problem?? tia chuck |

I know of some driver issues with the HP burners.You had to download HP's
software to get them to work. "chuck" wrote in message ink.net... I am trying to use, as a second CD drive, an older HP CD-RW.
