I replaced an old, barely working HP 7200 i CDRW with a
newer one, branded by Norcent.

The CDRW will read only original Cds, not burned ones.

I have recabled it, placed it as a master on IDE 2,
Promise 1 and Promise 2 IDE channels. I have made it a
slave to a suddenly defunct 56X CDROM.

Because there is only one lazer to this thing, I suspect
that there are XP drivers missing. This thing is driving
me nuts. Please keep me out of the loony bin due to deep
frustration.

Thanks

Norcent??? Never herdev em. Plextor, Lite-On
and Samsung are some the better brands.
