Guest Damoclese Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Got the latest version of CDBurnerXP (4.2.6.1748) installed on a genuine copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I am encountering a strange problem. From the initial menu, if I select burn a data compilation or Copy Disc (Data option) my drives are not detected and it shows "No Compatible Drives". If I select Audio Disc, Burn Iso Image, Copy Disc (Audio Option) or erase disc, my drives are detected perfectly. It makes no difference if I run it in admin mode or compatability mode. The drives I have are: PLDS DVD+-RW DH-16A6S HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH20N Any one else having this issue or any ideas on possible solutions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Damoclese Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Sorry .... I should just point out that Windows 7 detects the drives fine ... its CDBurnerXP that doesn't! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bernieserver Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Hi, me and a buddy has the same problem. We are both using AMD 780G Chipsets and Windows 7 x64. It will not recognize the drive, only on Audio - CD burning mode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest burfadel Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Same problem here. Earlier versions work under Windows 7 x64, but not the most recent. 4.2.5.xxxx worked, not sure about at which version in the 4.2.6.xxxx range that it becomes non-working! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest user Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I have CDBurnerXP (4.2.6.1748) installed on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. But with another drive: HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GH22LS3. But I have exactly the same situation described nicely above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wolfman Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I have CDBurnerXP (4.2.6.1748) installed on Windows 7 Professional x64 and have the same problem! As mentioned before, the drives are also not recognized if you run CDBurnerXP in the compatibility-mode or as administrator! The drives worked fine under Windows Vista Business x64! Used drives: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223F HL-DT-ST BDDVDRW GGC-H20L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wolfman Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Fixed the problem on my PC! After installing the latest version of the Intel Matrix Storage Manager as mentioned here - not the one automatically installed with Windows 7 - my two drives are recognized in all burning modes!

DeathAndPain Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Same problem here. My ancient Sony CD-Burner is recognized, and so is the NEC DVD-ROM drive, but my Pioneer DVD-Burner is not. The key difference between them is that the Pioneer is a SATA drive. CDBurner XP does not seem to work well with SATA drives in Windows 7 x64. I am on an AMD 770 chipset, so no Intel Storage Manager for me. I could attempt installing the Vista driver for my chipset, but I do not believe in replacing the AMD 770 driver that came with Windows 7 and that is designed for Windows 7 with one that was made for an older version of Windows. Especially not since the drive works nicely in every other respect. And no, earlier versions of CDBurner XP do not work either. 4.2.5.xxx (i.e. the one that burfadel suggested) is not available in the download archive, so I cannot try that one, but 4.2.1.976 has exactly the same problem as a matter of fact. The Pioneer burner worked nicely back when I was using Windows XP with AHCI SATA-driver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest burfadel Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Installing the AHCI driver, whether it be Intel or AMD, only helps with some drives, not all drives. I downloaded the older version 4.2.5.1541, and that had the same problem. I was mistaken earlier, I thought it worked but it didn't! The fact remains though, even with the AHCI driver installed etc (its a SATA drive) it does not work in Windows 7 with CDburnerXP. I have resorted to Imgburn instead, but much prefer cdburnerxp.

DeathAndPain Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 From the homepage it seems that imgburn can only burn complete images, not single files, so it is not really an alternative to CDBurner XP. A real alternative would have been DeepBurner, but guess what - that one has the same problem as CDBurner XP! I tried Nero 9 Free Edition. Works, but cannot even burn a boot block (and is generally a horrible piece of software). Does anyone have an idea what alternative I could resort to for the time being? The Win7 onboard burning features are not enough. Better would be to have the bug fixed, of course. Cannot be that hard, seeing that CDBurner XP does detect the drive properly when it comes to erasing a disc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
floele Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Just curious, does it work if you replace the existing file in the CDBurnerXP application directory with this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest burfadel Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Imgburn can burn single files, you just select the 'write files/folders to disc' option on the front page. Its a good free standby for cdburnerxp, although I hope the issues with Windows 7 are resolved as cdburnerxp is a better programme. The workaround methods as described on here seem only to help a few people, I have the latest intel AHCI drivers 9.5.1037 installed, and earlier when on 8.9.1023 it didn't work either. I have an Asus DRW-2014L1T DVD-RW, Windows 7 x64, Asus P5Q-Pro MB, although I am certain the issue lies with software not hardware incompatibilities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest al2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Just curious, does it work if you replace the existing file in the CDBurnerXP application directory with this one? No, it doesn't work. No changes (but some dialog window at cdburner startup). The workaround methods as described on here seem only to help a few people, I have the latest intel AHCI drivers 9.5.1037 installed, and earlier when on 8.9.1023 it didn't work either. I replaced microsoft's SATA drivers by ATI's. Didn't work either. Win 7 x86 Ultimate. "Slimtype DVD A DS8A3S ATA Device" drive. G780+700(?) chipset. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SATA TSSTcorp SH-S203B DVDRW drive intel P35 chipset EDIT: it seems to see my IDE DVD drive (not burner) but doesn't even list the SATA drive under Device Information.

Guest burfadel Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 The Intel Storage Manager method might work for some, but I have always kept it updated and the Intel Chipset drives. Many people run their SATA drives in IDE compatibility mode as thats the default on all but the most recent socket 775 and later boards, and even some of those may still have IDE compatibility mode enabled by default in the bios. By older I include the p35 chipset in that, and even some p45's. The disadvantage of running in IDE compatibility mode is advanced features aren't available for your device, and performance should be lower. If that is a method to get it working on Windows 7 x64 ultimate (RTM release) and an Intel p45 chipset then I'm not going to use the programme! I'm not going to switch back to the slower IDE compatibility mode and end up with slower drives too! The fact remains that it ran perfectly in Windows Vista x64, but not in Windows 7 x64 no matter what I try, and as other programmes work like Imgburn etc, the problem lies within CdburnerXP. The developers are doing a great job making an excellent programme, but there is definitely an issue there that needs resolving. There may be two problems, the driver issue that affect some and the Windows 7 Ultimate issue that affect others!... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest burfadel Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Reading another thread it didn't occur to me to try Audio disc mode. Under audio disc it detects the drive fine, its only in data mode that it doesn't work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
floele Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 That's because the audio burning part uses a different (or rather, better) burning library. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Stephan Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I have the same problem with 4.2.7.1801 running Windows 7 pro 64bit with a Plextor PX-820SA (SATA) drive in AHCI mode. Since I want to use the OS feature to trim my Intel SSD, the Intel matrix driver is not an option. As already stated by others, only the 'Data disk' mode does not recognize the drive. Thanks, Stephan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, StephanExactly the same deal here. I was originally using the AHCI driver from the Intel Matrix Storage thing, but replaced it with the MS 1.0 one when a new firmware came out for my SSD which supported TRIM. Now I am unable to use CDBurnerXP to burn data discs. Fortunately the built in Windows method works, but I would really like to use CDBXP again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
