I bought an "OEM" CD5233E (it says on label on the drive itself, no box)
with no driver disks. On a W2K (service pac 1) machine just being assembled
(by gross novice, me), it was detected and windows 2K drivers automatically
installed. Works pretty good, but while trying to duplicate some of my
CDR's, fully loaded with my own MP3's, burned on another machine, I get
mostly coasters.
Error message says "source" is too slow. I realize there are a bundle of
things that can cause this result- media, software, etc.

Are there specific drivers or install routines that could possibly improve
this drives reading or caching abilities? Creative web sites do not have
drivers or installers for this drive except the infrared reading version.
I've read that using that driver helps speed reading (or throughput), but
introduces other problems, looking for sensors not present.

HELP PLEASE  -  THANKS
Lynn
