HP 8100 Quit working under Win2k but works under WinME

I have a HP 8100 CDRW. A few weeks ago I could no longer record CDs. This came shortly after I installed a slave drive (fujitsu - see below) on the primary ide bus and a 48x CDROM as slave on the secondary bus.

I have a HP 8100 CDRW. A few weeks ago I could no longer record
CDs. This came shortly after I installed a slave drive (fujitsu - see below)
on the primary ide bus and a 48x CDROM as slave on the secondary bus. Win2k
sees the CDRW and reads from it fine but both CDRWIN and EasyCD Creator 4.02
will not burn. I tried different cables, unhooked all other devices and even
reinstalled Win2k. I put the drive in a WinME machine I have here and it worked
flawlessly which means the CDRW is not broken, obviously. Also, the drive WAS
working fine under Win2k a few weeks ago.
The error CDRWIN spits back at me is:
"Error: 'START DAO RECORDING' command failed on device 0:1:0. Cuesheet was rejected
by the CDROM recorder".
This happens when I try and burn any cd. This is not an issue with the file
being to big or whatever.
EasyCD Creator Spits back some CDDB error I do not have directly
in front of me
Aspichk responds that I have v4.60 (1021) properly installed.
It is not an ASPI issue.
 
Any advice would be appreciated.
 
My system stats are as follows:
 
Asus P3B-F
P3-600EB Slot1
128MB PC133 RAM (2x64mb)
STB Velocity4400 16MB TNT Video card

Maybe I missed it somewhere in there, but could you please state what drives you have on which controllers, and whether master or slave?

Man, I just don't have any good answers for you (but maybe someone else does?).
 
That's about the way I have mine setup, except mine are:
 
Maxtor 30GB as Master on Primary IDE Channel
Maxtor 8Gb as Slave on Primary IDE Channel
HP 8100i as Master on Secondary IDE Channel
Creative 6x/24x DVD as Slave on Secondary IDE Channel
 
And everything works fine, of course (doncha just hate it when someone says, "Mine works!"). Using Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4.02d.
 
You might check to see if they're set to use "DMA if Available" under Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager>IDEATA/ATAPI Controllers.
 
Sorry I couldn't have been more help.

Thanks anyways.
 
I'm wonderng if there is some way to test the secondary IDE channel on this motherboard. With all the different things I have tried I'm wondering if there is something physically wrong with this motherboard? Anyone had any problems with the Asus P3B-F?

hmmm... did u try pulling the slave drives to see if it works?
 
my guess would be, it's the creative drive. that drive is evil incarnate. i myself had one. along with... about 5 other people i know. and they all broke. in different ways, but they broke.
