I have the rename program and i have the right drive, but i am using W2k and the program wont run. Any other suggestions besides me dual booting with 98 to get this name change working?

You can always bring the drive to a friend's place temporarily and use his/her win98 for install. just make sure you disconnect any other cdrom-type drives first.

beatinitup, do you need the name change? If there are no programs that require it you can update using the plextor firmware, winzip and notepad. You can use the Iomega 12x10x32a with plextor 1.08 firmware with no problems using clonecd 2.7.8.1, cdrwin 3.8c, padus diskjuggler 3, and Easy CD 5.

"...You can also use the new firmware with compatible recorders (Iomega, TDK 121032) if you:
1) Download and unzip the firmware file
2) Open PlexFirm.ini. In the 3rd line there should be:
Inquiry=PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W1210A;

change it to: Inquiry=;

Then by running PXFirm.exe, you get a selection screen to select the drive, press update .. and you're done. I am using this firmware right now on my Iomega and it's 100% fully functional. I assume that it must also work for the Creative drive..."
