CDR401/CDW4001/CRW4261 Problems
As with many CD-R problems, firmware upgrades
can cause miracles to happen! First, make sure you've got up to date firmware -
version 1.0q is the latest and greatest for the Yamaha CDR401/CRW4001/CRW4261.
You can get a copy of version 1.0q from here,
Yamaha's site.
The CDW4001/4260 run rather hot. External
units or extra cooling fans are recommneded for these drives.
If you're interested, you can get the specs on
the CDR401 here,
or the CRW4001 here.
First, make sure you've got up to date ASPI
drivers. (Check here for those).
Make sure you've got the proper settings set on your software,
and that your computer is setup correctly.
Don't forget to read important information
concerning possible software conflicts with Nero and Adaptec.
Pick the right media! Read this to see what other people have to say about what
media does and doesn't work well with their Yamaha drives...
Other than that, I don't think you should be
having trouble with this drive.
