Problems with Hp 6020 Cd writer/reader in windows 2000 build

[wap 0]

I have a Asus pc200 scsi card with a Hp 6020 scsi burner....

I have big problems when i have no cd in my burner,

Then my browse screens hang, etc ( those screens when opening a file in winamp , etc etc )

and when i put a cd in it it works again, or when i disable my 6020 burner in device manager,..

 

How can i solve this problem ?

I Don't Know Your Card.

Does it Have Bios?

Configuration Like adaptec < Ctrl-A>?

is it Busmaster?

Hmm, this is some info about it :

 

- 32-bit PCI Local Bus Interface

- PCI Bus Master Capability

- NCR 53C810 32-bit PCI SCSI Chip

- Support Fast SCSI-2 transfer rate

. 5 MB/Sec asynchronous mode

. 10 MB/Sec synchronous mode

 

I have no problems with it in win98,

and i believe it has bios, not sure...

 

This is all i know...

 

Thanx

you Could Try reduce the Transfer to 5mb/s

 

Have your Parity/termination correct assigned

in concern with the writer.

does the cable edge conectors are on the writer and the controler?

 

I don't know if the problem it's soft or Hardware cause NT It's a more "problematic" than 98, and if your card/cd is not correctly configured it even could work on windoze 98

I already tried connecting the writer to both the cable connectors, both same

problem..

 

I really don't know where i can change the data transfer modes...

I'll check the software available for my card from asus..

 

Thanx, any other suggestions ?

No. Only W2K Compatibility problem with the scsi adapter, bad drivers.

Thank God, I thought it was just me. I have a Diamond FirePort 40, b2072 and have had the exact same problem. I have resorted to unplugging the drive everytime I boot. I hope it's finxed in 2128.
