Hopefully someone can help me here .... I recently bought a 2nd hand Creative Encore kit (Dxr2) containing the 2240E DVD drive. Plugged it into my system and it locked up before reaching windows. No issues with the Dxr2 card. The other CD drive in my system is a BCE621E CD-RW. I tried disconnecting the CDRW no joy, tried switching IDE channels no joy. Tried a reload of windows 98se with no joy. Tried uninstalling all CD devices whilst in safe mode then reboot, no joy. Finally tried the DVD in my sons system and it worked no problem. I then tried to install my sons CD drive (x6 Teac) in to my own system and run into the same problem. This drive was actually fitted to my own before I went for the CD-RW a few months back. So the issue appears to be related to the fact that I can run with the CDRW but not any other std IDE CD drive and something happened when I switched to the CD-RW ???? Help !!!! Rgds, -Murray

What M/B are you using ?? I recently had the same problem with my 5x 5241E drive I upgraded my Motherboard to a ABIT BE6 V2 and for some strange reason the DVD drive stopped any Plug play devices from working PCI and USB giving my the age old blue screen ?? strange, to solve this i moved the DVD onto the ATA66 controller on the M/B witch sorted everything out :) Anyone else had this ???

Sounds like a problem with Abit boards, try taking all you cards out and any plug n play devices apart from your vga and reinstall windows if everything is fine try puttin a pci device in, like your Dxr2 if it crashes then you have the some problem as me ,we should contact creative and Abit...

With a spare SCSI disk I did a backup and then loaded win2K prof, this recognised the DVD no problem. However win2K doesn't support a few of my key applications so i went back to the drive with Win98se. I'll give your suggestion a try, thanks. -Murray Tim Taylor wrote: > Sounds like a problem with Abit boards, try taking all you cards out and any > plug n play devices apart from your vga and reinstall windows if everything > is fine try puttin a pci device in, like your Dxr2 if it crashes then you > have the some problem as me ,we should contact creative and Abit... > > Laters Tim > Murray <quattro@cwcom.net> wrote in message > news:38BE4C17.CB3369A2@cwcom.net... > > Motherboard is an ABIT BH6 (rev GY Bios) > > > > > > Tim Taylor wrote: > > > > > What M/B are you using ?? > > > > > > I recently had the same problem with my 5x 5241E drive > > > > > > I upgraded my Motherboard to a ABIT BE6 V2 and for some strange reason > the > > > DVD drive stopped any Plug play devices from working PCI and USB giving > my > > > the age old blue screen ?? strange, to solve this i moved the DVD onto > the > > > ATA66 controller on the M/B witch sorted everything out :) > > > > > > Anyone else had this ??? > > > > > > Laters Tim > > > > > > Murray <quattro@cwcom.net> wrote in message > > > news:38BD4803.B4A2413C@cwcom.net... > > > > Hopefully someone can help me here .... > > > > > > > > I recently bought a 2nd hand Creative Encore kit (Dxr2) containing the > > > > 2240E DVD drive.
