 | | G.M. on January 2, 2003 | Sony CRX210e1
I purchased this burner, set it up, but then windows detected it and installed the drivers for a standard cdrom drive. Since the drive didnt come with any form of drivers or anything, I am stuck with this burner that only works as a cdrom drive. If anyone has the driver, knows where to get them, or has any suggestions what-so-ever, please reply and help me out. The help is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance. |

G.M.,
CD-Writers do not generally require any drivers when running under any version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, since Windows contains built in drivers that allow your drive to behave as a CD-Rom reader. This is the reason you did not receive any drivers with the purchase of your Sony CRX210e1.
To use the writing capabilities of your CD-Writer, you will have to install a recent version of some CD mastering software such as Roxio Easy CD Creator or Nero Burning ROM. Since support for new drives is included which each release of the software, it is highly recommended that you obtain the latest version of the software, especially if your drive is a recent model.
If you wish to use your CD-Writer under Microsoft DOS, you should download the appropriate drivers directly from Sony at the following address: http://sony.storagesupport.com/cdrw/dosdrivers.htm
If no writing software came with your writer, you can purchase a copy at any store that sells software or directly from either Roxio or Ahead Software.
Hope this helps,
Eric Georgieff |

does anyone find any software for this cd-rw,nero doesnot recognize crx210e1 as a writer, only as a cd rom, just like old versions of nti , and some others cd burning software!! |

| | OzzY on February 5, 2003 | RE: Sony CRX210e1
I had same problem with this burner.
I downloaded some addition for Roxio EasyCDCreator and now I can write disks using Explorer in Windows XP (and DirectCD).
But nero still don't recognize my drive as a burner.
Why???
I think I still have install for this program.
Write on my e-mail and I'll send it for you.
And if enyone knows where to get drivers for crx210e1, please write on my e-mail. |

This explains a lot. I just bought my drive from Best buy yesterday and i've been killing myself trying to figure it out why it doesn't work. I'll give it a try... Serials for NERO 5.5.10.0 would be nice...
I'll report back with results...Thanks again!

Yes! That's quite right!
Just now I've spent a lot of time trying to explain Nero 5.5.6 that my SONY CRX210e1 can record CDs with no result. I've read this conf, uninstalled old Nero, Installed Nero 5.10.0.0 and I've got it! Now I'm recording.
Best Regards! |

Arghh!
I also just bought this drive, and I'm finding that a lot of burning programs are not recognizing it. What's up with that, Sony??? Nero 5.5.8 definitely doesn't work with it, and a few others too. I'm currently in the process of trying to find 5.5.1 to see if that'll fix the problem. If anyone has it and wants to send it my way, that'd be great! |

| | Dave on February 20, 2003 | RE: Sony CRX210e1
I can not believe I found this board! I have been pounding my head for a month trying to get this burner to work. And Sony refuses to help because it is an OEM unit. I got it to pass the online test with Sony, but I have yet to find a program to help me burn. Does anyone know if Nero will work with windodws 98? |

Has anyone out there done this. I realize I
need an EIDE/ATAPI adapter as well as

| | Falla on February 27, 2003 | RE: Sony CRX210e1
Hey Jolar, i got that same crappy writer aswell, basically i spent 3 days trying the ge the thing to work thinkin it was a problem with my mainboard, but it ended up that no software supports it. I got Win98SE and the only thing i found thatll do it is if you get NERO Burning Rom, download the update file to make it the latest version, and then itll work but even then it wont recognise the full capacity of the drive. |

Do the windows updater under firmware and use the lastest Nero program (they have a link to a trial version of Nero) It works great with my windows 98. I am up and running at full capacity!!! |

| | Ostamb on March 2, 2003 | Sony CRX210e1 works, give it a try!!!
Okay, after some trial and tribulation, I have found which software works for me and what doesn't with this drive running Windows XP Pro.
Nero did NOT work for me (I tried a couple of versions). Easy CD Creator NEVER worked for me while running XP. The ones that work flawlessly for me with this drive are Stomp RecordNow Max 4.1, which is an awesome program, and Clone CD 4.2, which is also an awesome little program.
Once you get the limited amount of software that's compatible with this drive, it runs great. Not the quietest drive I've heard, but it's still fast fast fast. 3-4 minutes to burn, that's it. Well, good luck all!!!
Ostamb ;) |

| | Kamen on March 7, 2003 | RE: Sony CRX210e1
Hi, everybody. I just wanted to say that this forum here really helped me. I had problems recording under XP like most of you. I tried Nero 5.5.6.6. and it didn't help. Then I read here that it should work with 5.5.9.0. and guess what it did. I have Nero 5.5.9.9. and it's working great. Thanks |
|
| | Me on March 14, 2003 | RE: Sony CRX210e1
I got this drive over Christmas. I've had it running in Windows XP using both the built-in burning capabilities(which are kind of weird to work ) and "NTI CD-Maker 2000 Plus" burning software. I currently have it running on Windows 2000 Pro with NTI burning software. I haven't tried the latest Nero, but the one that I have (5.5.4) doesn't recognize it.
If you have to buy software for it, I suggest getting a version of Nero that works (looks like 5.5.9.x, from previous posts), as it gives you more options and control, and side-by-side interface instead of top-and-bottom interface.
I've noticed the drive is pretty quiet when it's recording, but when it's reading, it tends to squeal a bit, which gets annoying if your playing a CD in it. |

| | Gareth on March 16, 2003 | RE: Sony CRX210e1
Just to reiterate: the CRX210e1 works fine with Nero 5.5.9.9 under WinXP |

| | Harry on March 23, 2003 | RE: Sony CRX210e1
In answer to my own question regarding the
CRX210E1 burner on a Mac. Here goes.
There was much more to the process than
just adding the burner. I was doing major
surgery, ie adding an IDE adapter, 256 Mb
more ram, the 40Gb IDE hard drive and a
USB/Firewire card. I installed everything
according to the instructions and it was very
simple. But did it work ? No. It booted OK but
it kept hanging.
Here is what I learned. Do one thing at a time.
Check after each installation. Is the computer
still working? If yes then proceed.
My problem why things didn't work properly or
not at all was not hardware related but
software related. I was using OS9.1 and a
SIIG ATA Ultra 100/133 Pro adapter. I found to
root of my problem was the Iomega Zip drive
extension to be the problem. After removing it,
everything worked fine including CRX210E1
burner. In less than hour after all was put back
together, I had my burned my first music CD. |

|
| | Ostamb on April 15, 2003 | RE: Sony CRX210e1
Derrick,
My personal suggestion would be to get on to Kazaa or some other P2P file sharing program, and downloading some more software for it. For example, Stomp RecordNow Max 4.1 works great for me using this drive. I suggest you get it. Good luck! |

Regardindg the freezing up at 3-5 %, i was in touch with Nero who have ignored my problem, however NCI 6 Platinum works fine with this drive |
|
| | G.M on April 20, 2003 | RE: Sony CRX210e1
About the freezing at 3-5%...I was looking around at the settings trying to figure out what was wrong. Then I decided to go into Control Panel, System, to the Hardware tab, and then into Device Manager. Once there, I went under DVD/CD-Rom drive and uninstalled the CRX210E1. Then I restarted and it was back again and everything worked fine. It didn't stall at 3% and the burn process finished successfully and the CD worked fine. Hope this will work for you too. |
