LG DRIVE 52x24x52x HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8523B

I have LG drive 52x24x52x with driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8523B installed on Celeron2GHz with Win98. When I do tests for it, the very maximum of speed of reading data is 13.68x (sth about 2,3Mb/sec). Why is this while the front cover says that the speed should be: 52x24x52x. The HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8523B driver is the default driver supplied by Win98.

Should I install another driver?

Slow 452x24x52x

I have DVD LG drive with driver HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B Installed on Celeron2GHz with Win98. When I do tests for reading data-CD, the very maximum of speed of reading data is 18x. Isn't it a little to slow for the new DVD-ROM drive?

Should I install another driver?

RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

If your computer is runing under windows XP, the computer recognises your lg GCE-8160B cd-writer as a cd-rom device. first of all you should check this. If it does then the next thing you have to do is to download, for example nero 5.5.9.9, this program is used to copy cd's and it will recognise your cd-writer.
Just by doing this everything will be solved.
If you have any kind of doubt or this email has been helpfull for you, tell me something.

Sutrai.

RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

I am running windows XP and it is not recognising my lg GCE-8160B cd writer. i have nero 6.3.0.2 and it still cannot find it. How can i check if my computer is recognising it as a cd-writer and not as a cd-rom device? i have a cd-rom drive as my secondary master because it has a faster read speed so my cd-writer is the secondary slave. it was working fine with that configuration for months but then i just turned my comp on one day and it did not recognise it. I cant find the drivers either so if anyone finds them can they please email them to me at lane4swim@hotmail.com. Thanx!

RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

I went to this page "http://gb.lgservice.com/index_b2c.jsp" ==> "PRODUCT SUPPORT" ==> "Device Driver" ==> "CD-RW" ==> on the second page and it's right on the second from the bottom.
After I downloaded it, I did everything the same on introduction. However, I got problem at step 10 (in introduction). My MS-DOS said that "failed to open input file"
What should I do? please tell me!!!
Thanks

RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

Hi,
looks like im not the only one having problems with the GCE 8160B CD Rewriter.
I also have a CRD 8521B CD Rom both of which are LG.
After having my machine re-formatted i upgraded to XP, and for a day all drives worked fine, but now both of the above are inoperable.
Can anybody tell me where to find the correct drivers for these please.
I did see mentioned somewhere that if you download Nero this may work? has anybody tried this?
Obviously to download this will cost about £30, and i don't really want to do that if it won't cure the problem.
Any help you could give would be much appreciated.

Can you please send me a driver for the LG Electronics CD-RW: HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8240B for Windows xp. I reinstalled windows and it does not see my burner as a burner, just a regular CD-ROM drive. It shows only as a read only drive.

Thanx

adam on April 6, 2004
RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

all windows versions recognize this drive. if windows doesn't see it, try reinstalling windows. or else the drive itself died. the problem with he DVD, i'm not sure. everyone else, XP WILL USE THIS DRIVE TO RECORD CD'S! I've done it. Many times. It will even do CD-RW's. My problem is that the Memorex 4x CD-RW discs won't work right. I also use Easy CD Creator 5.0 BASIC and it works just fine. I've had the drive since December 2001 and I've never had a problem with it.

RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

My WINXP computer came pre-loaded with this cd/rw program. It worked WONDERFULLY until a week ago. Now Win XP doesn't even recognize that I have the drive.

When I try to troubleshoot, I get the message that "Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)"

HELP, please.

RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

Right click on My Computer, click properties, click on hardware then device manager. Open CD-ROM, click on the disfunctional drive. Under properties on the drive, remove the check from Enable digital CD audio for this drive. Restart the computer. Worked for me.

Kevin on July 11, 2004
RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

It looks as if I am not the only one who has been screwed by LG. My burner just stopped functioning one day, like some of the other people on the this message board. I have downloaded the obscure driver from driverguide only to find out it functions only with Win 98 and to make it compatible you must be an advanced programer. The read me files for the driver are complicated to say the least. Has anyone with Win 2000 had any success in finding a driver that functions with this OS?
Any Help would be appreciated before I smash this cruddy Burner

RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

I belive i had a virus on my computer, so i got all Data completly erased. I had purchased many programs ( a C-D Burner being one of them) and dont know how to re-install them, as i dont have the disks to install them. Any help would be appreciated as to know how to find the correct CD Burner software.
slngsht on October 25, 2004
RE: Driver HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8160B

My burner is rated 4-8-16-32, being that the first 3 numbers are the write speed and the last being read. Since I got the drive with my computer, I have not been able to burn at 16x on any media without underrun errors. I *have* to bump it down to 8x. How can I find the firmware version on this model, and can I flash it to update it, and will this help at all?
