I know this is a different drive, but same OEM. I have a RW8438E (also
Samsung) that works fine in Win 2000. It's possible you have a software
issue. What burner software are you using and is the version certified for
Win 2000? Reason I ask is that I *don't* use the software that came with the
drive, and I don't know if that version of Nero works under Win 2000. I use
Click'n'Burn Plus Build 1.3 and it's fine. I have seen multiple reports of
problems with EZCD 4.05 in Win 2000, although I tried it and it worked OK
for me.

Creative didn't abandon these drives. They have refused to support them
properly from the day they started selling them as cheap (read higher profit
margins for Creative) substitutes for the original 8432E. You cannot abandon
what you never provided 8<).
