Help! Can't recognize Lite-on LTR 16102B

[jerrygarcia]

Hello!

2nd build and need help please!

I got a few problems that are just driving me nuts! I got the lite-on drive LTR 16102B(16x10x40) and I can't get it recognized by my software. I think I'm at a dead end(FORMAT!) The CD-RW is an add on 4 months later.(Best Buy $29.99 after rebates)
Here's my specs;
ECS K7VMA ver 1.0
Duron 750
256 Crucial SDRAM
Geforce2 MX200 64mb w/ TV-out
Blue Orb
Maxtor 15G 7200 Primary Master
Volcano II H/S
Delta DVD 12x Primary Slave
Lite-on 16x10x40 Secondary Master
300w P/S
I have NTI CD-Maker ver. 5.0 s/w that came with the drive and I had Adaptec 4.02. I did read in Adaptec after hours that it did not support this drive. It had f/w OSOB, now it is flashed to OSOF. I don't have the audio cable installed. What the hell am I doing wrong?
When I try to do anything in NTI, it says that I have no recordable drives installed! Both of my IDE controllers are there and just fine. It will work as a CD-Rom but that's it. I see a number of these posts, HELP! I am running IE 6, I think I read somewhere that this drive is not compatible with IE6. Anyone heard that? You can't go back to IE 5.5 without formatting......can you?
Thanks

I've never heard of the NTI burning software. The last LiteOn drive that I bought came bundled with Nero Burning Rom, which is an outstanding burning program.

To see if it's a software problem, go to Ahead and download the free trial of Nero, if it works, you have a software bug, if not, you have a dead drive.

BTW - IE6 is not the problem, the system I just built has Win98se and IE6, the burner works perfect.

<edit - bad link, fixed now>

I have the same drive and it came with Nero 5. Most software bundled with burners only supports that burner. Nero is really great, give it a try. I have the registered version of Nero so I didn't use the bundled sw. It's well worth the price. Of course, in Linux I use GCombust. I rarely run Windoze.

This is directly from NTI's website-support,FAQ's.


Question:
"When I drag and drop files into the program I get the following error: Cdmkr 32 This program has performed an illegal operation and will shutdown details Cdmkr 32 caused an invalid page fault in module SHELL 32.DLL at 015f: 7fce 314e "

Answer:
The latest release of Internet Exployer (IE6) is incompatible. For versions 3.x & 4.x you will need to uninstall IE6 and install IE5.5. For version 5.x, please upgrade to version 5.0.15 or higher to resolve this problem.

I also have a Buslink/Lite-on 12x10x32 burner and have no trouble burning with EZCD-Creator 4.02 in IE6. I did patch up the NTI software, 5.0.17, to where it would run, now I'm running Roxio 5.0 Platinum and that took care of my problem of only 2x-4x burning. Now I'm up to 16x.
I did try to update to 5.0.15, but I think that I downloaded the upgrade to the Professional Edition by accident and it wouldn't let me install. By then I was thoroughly frustrated, that I didn't notice what I had messed up on. You can't uninstall IE6, or at least I couldn't. It doesn't give you the option to remove program. I'm running 98SE.

The burner was labeled retail as a Digital Research, but the User's Guide says that the Warranty was under I/O Magic, but the drive has a sticker on it that says it's a Lite-On drive and that's what my computer recognizes it as. What the F**K?

There are a lot of different brands of burners, but only a few manufacturers. The ones that don't build their own buy them rebadged from different manufacturers. The burner you have is a Lite-On and they are great drives.

Dump the NTI software, and get Nero. It seems to be the best solution, besides formatting and reloading.

I've never heard of a CD burning software being incompatible with a browser before

I guess I have now!

I have that same drive on my setup and I've had no probs out of it just probs with using it with EZ CD Creator 5 Platinum in XP Pro.

Everything is working great now! Rippin'
