i need a drive for this kind of unique burner

[krisoto]

i tried burnproof and sanyo website and i don't know if they have it or not. it's a 40x cdrw internal "usb 2.0" drive and on my win 98 it doesn't detect bec. of the driver

There is no such thing as an internal USB 2.0 drive, USB is inherently external, and win98 does not support usb 2.0, at all.

edit my post,it's suppose to be driver not drive.m btw, there is one that made by sanyo it's called crd-bp1700u, an internal usb2.0 cdrw drive 40x drive.

i check already with winxp and it did need a driver lookup only win 98',and thats's what i need

Do you have a link for this? I can find no mention of CD drives on Sanyo's website.
I think you also missed what obeseotron is saying. USB 2.0 drives are external, not internal. Internal CD drives are usually IDE, or possibly SCSI.
I used Google to search for the drive model number, but I couldn't find anything useful there; not many matches.
Since you say you need drivers, it's probably an external drive, but I could be mistaken. Windows usually has all the drivers it needs for (internal) IDE CD drives.

Indeed. Obeseotron is right. Plus, your question is extremely strange. I need a drive for this burner? Your burner is your drive. HUH? And it doesn't detect because of the driver? So do you have the drive or do you need one? I'm completely lost. You'll need to clarify before we can help you.

All you people are being quite mean to krisoto. First of all, he had a simple typo. He meant to say "I need a driver for this kind of unique burner". Just one simple letter missing and you act like he is an idiot. In fact look at his second post: "it's suppose to be driver not drive". He even corrected himself and you still feel the need to post this!

I used google too and found two pages of links mentioning his exact drive model. So it does exist. Then looking around Sanyo's website (remember there is Sanyo and Digital Sanyo), I found a link to their CD drives. Click on product information to see the list. The CDR-BP1700U isn't listed there unfortunately since it must be quite new, however the 24x model (CRD-BP1500U) is listed there. Lets click on that and see what we get: "CRD-BP1500U is a CD-RW drive for alternative use for an half height internal type and an external type with USB 2.0 interface. Thus it is a USB 2.0 drive that comes in both internal and external versions. Thus, yes there are internal USB 2.0 drives. Even look at the back of the internal model, no IDE connector at all.

Krisoto, on that same page there is a link to drivers for the CRD-BP1500U, including Windows 98. These may work for you, but probably not at full 40x speed. Or you might have to wait a while for Sanyo to update that web page.

hey dullard,thanks. you save my butt. some ppl like to jump to conclusion,but anyway i'll try that link and give it a shot, reason why is that this drive is given to me by a friend of mine who works in a multimedia business and it works on xp but not on win98 bec. of the driver issue. i must say, he has also 32x and 24x all the same
