Adding a new cdr drive changed letter names and drive name?
HI, I went to burn my new cd I recorded after I had installed a new
Liteon burner last week. Wow, it gave me the only option of burning on the other cd drive that is just an Atapi cdrom one. Strange. However, all the rest of the info worked, so I just burned the CD with the one offered at 12X and all went OK, until Nero crashed, and ruined my session, but that is another story. So, I guess what I am asking is. I do know how to change the drive letter, but will that also change the name also. I will add a small scene here to explain. When I am in Nero and have added the wav files to a session then I go to Burn area, it says that I can burn on that drive that doesn't burn, drive: Atapi CD something or other but the Liteon LT526 was not an option, so will the drive letter reassignment fix all this? I don't like to take chances, esp. with this audio cd making, thanks for helping, psongman |

If I were you, I would uninstall Nero, change the drive configuration to the way you want, and then reinstall Nero. Use Nero CleanTool to uninstall Nero: http://www.nero.com/enu/support-nero...utilities.html http://www.nero.com/enu/support-nero...utilities.html http://www.nero.com/enu/support-nero...utilities.html |

Does it show in 'My Computer'. The os makes a difference. Winxp will auto detect. It does help to supply all relevant information when asking a question. Dave Cohen |

Adding a new cdr drive changed letter names and drive name?
HI, I followed everyone's excellent directions and it still said the
drive to burn on was Atapi CDR DH52R2P cd drive I guess I should have noticed the 52, in the name, but, and this makes me mad The drive reads Liteon LT526 all over my computer. This is the reason users have to ask all these questions. How come they don't say they are the same drive? They have completely different titles. If someone could explain some of these anomalies, I would appreciate it...as this is why I get so frustrated trying to work with computers. Someone in the hardware and software realm doesn't realize that if one is trying to be safe and do an install and a utilize correctly that these misunderstandings will occur. Thanks for assisting, psongman |

Adding a new cdr drive changed letter names and drive name?
OH NO, had someone help me, that Atapi Drive is a regular one, not a
burner. How can this keep happening? Why does Nero only let me use this drive and it is not one that can burn CD's. All this is very perplexing, someone has designed something that doesn't mesh in this using of drives, i.e. in their naming, designation, and usage. Please help me if you can as I want to get this sorted out. Do I have to change some setting somewhere, if so, please advise, thanks, psongman |

Yes, I uninstalled Nero, all instances, even used Nero cleaning tool.
Decided to use the Nero 7 Essentials that came with the burner, installed, all went fine. Then, I decided to make a Nero session file, did so, went to burn and it still says Atapi as burning drive ( which is the one that is read only). I tried it in Adobe Audition also. So, that confirms that somehow the drive letter must be telling the software that this is the drive to use. So, must I change the drive letter or what. By the way, I also went into BIOS and it said LiteOn LTN526 is Master, Atapi is the slave, all hooked up, all working, even drivers, so should I leave it alone. The only thing that scares me is it seems that the software is searching the hardware for the device and can't even discern that the Atapi is a read only device, whew, if that doesn't make Microsoft and other software engineers turn over in their graves, then their designs are futile. Hope I can get it looking and working properly. Thanks for assisting, psongman |

What are the drives listed: [Nero, Recorder, Choose Recorder] If the burner is not listed, uninstall Nero using CleanTool. Then go into the Device Manager and delete/uninstall all the cd drives. When you reboot, Windows will reinstall the cd drives. Then reinstall Nero and check to see if the burner is listed in [Choose Recorder]. |

I already did all this. Why do all the people in all these forums keep
saying stuff that you already did. This has happened in the last 3 or 4 threads I have started in Google and Home Recording. I am going to spend some money and get to the bottom of this. I did ask my local tech about it and he said that there is no way that a read only drive could burn a cd. I read him the info on the drive and burned a cd to show him and he was flabbergasted. He said, that is just another instance that makes absolutely no sense, unless the drives have somehow renamed themselves, which actually is the only answer, now that I reflect upon it. Anyway, I have done all that others have suggested. I think I will just undo the drive's letters and see if that corrects it, if not, will burn on my read only Atapi and send the contents to Uncle Billy G. and see what he says about how well Windows works, eheh, thanks though, p |
