USB CD burner in Win2k

I have hooked up my USB Sony Spressa CD-RW drive into my Win2K machine, but Win2K thinks that it is only a cd-rom. How can I fix this?

Please help.
 
I don't really know but give this a shot:
go to the company's website and find a newer driver, if there is a newer driver.

go into the device manager..
see if theres a problem under CD-Rom drives...as in is there a little yellow question mark.
click on that once with the right clicker once and click on properties...then click on Driver tab, and then try reinstalling the driver old or new.

worth a shot.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Win2K regard all burners as CDROM drives? It's not until you try throwing a recording program at it does it begin to say "Hey, that's a burner!"

A friend had a USB CRX120... (something) and that was the case with him. Once he installed Adaptec and CDRWin, he was a happy guy.
 
I have 2 burners, a DVD and two cdroms, and Win2k will identify each as the type, then as CDROM devices.. IE Pioneer DVD ROM, DVD 303s SCSI CDROM device ...however that may be due to the SCSI controller passing that info to the device manager..
 
tenchim, thats the same burner i'm using. i guess i sould try some software other than the crapy prog that came with it.
 
Something that my Dad and I learned from Shudder. This applies to my Dad's Mitsumi USB burner under W2K....from ~a year ago. Even Mitsumi had told him that it would not be supported under W2K by them, or the software that came with it. Shudder informed me that the newest version (at that time) of CloneCD and Nero supported it. He was correct. So...for my Dad, it was just a matter of finding the right burner software.

Sony used to ship really crape Prassi software with their burners (my 4x SCSI).
