Having a compaq identity crisis....

I have a Compaq Presario with this OEM CD-RW that refuses to recognize 70 minute CDR's... I'm sure there's an update out there somewhere, but I'm clueless as to how to identify it properly. Sandra only tells me that its an "IDE CD-RW 4/4/24" and gives no brand name. If anyone's ever been in a similar situation, (it's the 7998 model) or has any advice, i'd be grateful.

Thanks

Rob
 
You can open up your machine and see if there are any stickers on the CD-RW, I know there is a web site where you can look up the ID and stuff, but I forgot the URL.
 
I'm quite sure that most Presario's have the LG 8083 OEM burner (I work for Compaq but don't quote me 🙂 I purchased that drive seperately and I don't have any problems with it. What soft. are you using.
