Question
Why is my CD-RW or CD-ROM drive not being recognized by Sony Hot Burn
Answer
This happens most frequently with an ATAPI(IDE) CD-ROM drive. This can be
caused when the IDE Bus master drivers need to be updated.
Please contact your PC or motherboard manufacturer to get updated IDE Bust
mastering controller drivers. Also, you may need to upgrade your motherboard
BIOS. We require the CD-ROM and CD-RW drive to use an IDE connection to
the primary or secondary IDE controllers (usually on the motherboard).
Some systems have sound cards with IDE connectors or other proprietary IDE
connections. The CD-RW drive will not function correctly with these IDE
connections. If you update your IDE Bus mastering drivers and still cannot see
the CD-ROM drive, then you may need a newer CD-ROM drive. Also try to have
the CD-RW drive solely on an IDE connector. If you cannot, do not have your
hard drive and your CD-RW drive on the same IDE connector.
