Re: Samsung cd R/RW problem
Make sure the drive is detected properly by the BIOS and that DMA is enabled in the BIOS. Download the latest firmware update and checked the drive and cables.
Re: Samsung cd R/RW problem
To work around this issue, start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe), and then locate and click the following key in the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE\CDROMXXXX\instance\Device Parameters\Imapi
where CDROMXXXX is the Plug and Play device ID for the CD-RW drive, and instance is a value that is specific to the CD-RW drive. For example:
CdRomXXXX = CdRomSAMSUNG_CD-R/RW_SW-208F_________________FN03____
Instance = 5&18bef761&0&0.0.0
NOTE: The preceding values will be different in different CD-RW drives.
Add the following registry values to the preceding registry key:
Value name: EnableImapi
Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Hexadecimal
Value data: 0x1
Value name: OpcNotSupported
Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Hexadecimal
Value data: 0x1
Value name: BufferManagementType
Data type: REG_DWORD
Radix: Hexadecimal
Value data: 0x1
Quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.
