I have two long time problems which may be related. Often times when I
put a CD in the RW4224E, it won't recognize the CD. Sometimes if I take
it out and put it back in it will work. Other times it will never work
at all. Resetting the machine doesn't help. Only powering off and back
on helps. If I unplug the power from the CD and reconnect, that works
too, and I don't reboot or anything. I even considered mounted a switch
on the side of the case to toggle CD power on and off.

Another problem is when using Nero software. When it makes a CD it comes
out as "data" instead of "ISO9660" or "ISO/Joliet". I went back and
forth with Nero trying to get help. The Nero software came with the
drive when I bought it. If I right click on the CD drive letter, then
properties, then volumes, I can see what is on a CD, how much, and in
what format. This is called the "multi-mounter". If there is more than
one volume I assume I could select which one, but I've never done that.
Anyway, when looking at the volume info, the format on CDs I've made
will often be "data". On good CDs it will be "ISO/Joliet" or "ISO9660".

These two problems may be connected. Comments or help would be
appreciated. I have wasted many, many CDs and had much frustration.
Thanks
