Simply solution;  return the LG CDRW and buy another unit with software.
Why go through all this trouble when you should be able to return the unit
and buy another?

Subject: [PCBUILD] LG CDRW won't burn DAO


I bought an LG CDRW CED 8080B without any software for my AMD k6-III 400mHz
system (DFI baby AT board, 3Com ethernet card, soundblaster 16 card, ZIP
serial drive, lexmark color inkjet, UMAX scanner w/SCSI card, Stealth 64
video car), and I tried unsuccessfully to burn CD's (Disc At Once) with
first NERO, then CDRWIN, with no results - the system (Win98SE) would hang,
and I would get a SCSI/IDE error. I uninstalled them both, got Adaptec
EasyCD Deluxe 4.02e, and it wouldn't work either-not even an error message,
just a system hang. I called LG, they said it was software, I called
Adaptec, they were mystified (we even went through the registry to clean it
up, turned off everything in the background, etc.). I just bought a new 20
gig HD and more memory (now 196megs) in order to solve any possible buffer
problems, the drive is
defragged and error-free, and none of this has solved anything. Does anyone
know what I can do next? Thanks.
