CD-ROM (CD-RW) only reads/plays audio (music) CDs Friday, April 25, 2008 at 11:43 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Joe (1 messages posted) I've got a Samsung CD-RW drive (SW-252S) that detects all CD's as audio. Data CD's are displayed as one track audio discs in Explorer. And Device Manager lists the drive misspelled as SAMSUJG C@-R/RW SS-252S. Initally I thought there might be some kind of virus on the machine the drive was in so I put it in another computer (I know is clean) and got the same results. Due to the mispelling and garbage in the device's text id tag I thought the drive's firmware was corrupt. I downloaded the latest firmware and flasher from Samsung. Their flash utility said I had the wrong firmare for the drive specified (thanks to the misspelled device id). However, I was able to flash the drive with mtkflash through DOS. But that didn't help and the drive is still having the same problems. Any info/suggestions greatly appriciated. Thanks.
