NEC ND-1100A fails when burning CD's

Hi M-K,
After applying SP2, some people have had to uninstall their optical drive from Device Manager, then re-boot, whether this will help with your issue, I cannot say. The support articles for XP SP2 are increasing each day.
Best Regards
God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,
the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell the
difference.

MK,
Sorry for not getting back sooner, as for similar problems with the NEC 1100a, I dare say you are one in thousands. A search on NEC 1100a in this conference will verify that. Since you have neew drive and seem happy, that`s great. I have two articles at the CD/RW site for testing the drive, Section 12, article 3; Section 11, article 9.
Good luck with the new drive
