Hey all, just had to do a fresh install on a friends PC using XP because he had a nasty virus that was unremoveable.

Now i'm nearly all sorted with all the software installed that he wanted but I cant get his CD writer going?! On the last version of windows it was on e: now however there is no sign of it anywhere now with XP.

I have tried add hardware but it wont find anymore CD drives.

Anyone any idea??

The CDRW is a Ricoh MP7060S and I have no disk for it atall.

Many thanks.

Mr.Cookie

halfway down dunno if it's of any help though, im still eating my hat from boot disks

Cheers Cookie but thats for WIN 98, I need it for XP.

I always have this problem when rebuilding XP, try installing a CDR app if you can

cryptwalk

LOL no.

How do I do that? I've actually seen that somewhere....

Scci driver not installed and XP cannot find the driver..


Sonic, I have Clone CD installed that hassent helped?

Mr.Cookie

Crypt go start-> control panel then click system -> hardware tab -> device manager

Cheers Sonic, This does say for 98 though is that ok?

Finally all aspi are funcional but what do I do now? The e: is still not being found...

Btw, mail addy is username@aol.com I thought you had it already.

Mr.Cookie

Crypt

Your drive uses a scsi interface so you'll need to set up scsi card before it will even see the the drive

Si

cryptwalk

Anyone know if this will work??

Failing that Si, YWHM.

It says they are for OS' running under vmware.

You should be able to get the correct scsi driver from the manufacturers site.

btw, no virus is unremovable
