After installing WinXp in a Compaq Presario, system doesn't recognize cd-rw as such. Recognizes it as just a cdrom. Is there a site anyone can help me with to get the right device driver or do I need to flash the bios? Any and all help would be great.
 
You didn't say if it was working OK?
Probably is! just that it doesn't say CDRW?
Other thing is there is very little writing software that doesn't have some sort of a conflict with XP, Windows has been working with the new owners of Easy CD Creator, Roxio,
they apparently have a working version of Easy CD creator specificly for XP.
Maybe if you go to the writers manufactures website to see if they have posted any issues and driver fixes. Martin
 
no it doesn't work at all. can't open any files. any more advice is helpful.
 
Hi, i have my CR-RW as CD-ROM in XP and work fine, maybe it is another problem?! Best Regards
