hi, im new here.
im having trouble with burning cds.
i have a ARW4420 - Actima drive. Went I went to the device manager it says that everything is working correctly.
my computer can read the cds and know that something is in there. however, i use musicmatch 8.0 (the best for burning music cds in my opinion). i ripped a cd and wanted to make a copy of it. it ripped it fine, so that tells me everything is connected correctly.
just to make sure i went on the website to make sure everything was connected correctly and it was. i figured i might as well install the driver, just in case. when i tried installing it an error message came up saying virtual device driver format in the registry is invalid. close or ignore. when i pressed ignore it said:
IDE CD-ROM Device Driver Installation Program Ver. 3.02
 
It is a must to have MSCDEX.EXE in your system for CD-ROM drive
to be operatable.
 
If your DOS version is equal or above 5.0, this file will be in
your DOS directory.
 
For user with DOS version under 5.0,
- Please contact the local proper representative to get a copy of
MSCDEX.EXE(version 2.22 or above).
- Copy MSCDEX.EXE file under DOS directory(ex., c:\DOS).
 
Please input the directory which contains MSCDEX.EXE file to the
dialog box and press ENTER. Otherwise, press ESC to exit.
 
 
i have no idea what any of this means. please help! it will be greatly appreciated!
