ACID 3.0 Pro Can't See my CD Drive -ACID Product Family

Subject:ACID 3.0 Pro Can't See my CD Drive Posted by: roparker Date:1/5/2002 1:39:14 PM I'm a new ACID Pro 3.0 user trying to learn how to use ACID's features for saving and ripping audio from my CD drive. When I try to assign a drive, ACID can't find it, even though my Toshiba Satellite Pro notebook does have a CD-R/RW drive. What's up?
Subject:RE: ACID 3.0 Pro Can't See my CD Drive Reply by: roparker Date:1/5/2002 2:39:59 PM Somewhat of an answer to my own problem: I'm running Windows 2K and discovered that ACID can see my CD drive iff I login as Administrator. Anybody have an idea how to enable CD access for another user?
Subject:RE: ACID 3.0 Pro Can't See my CD Drive Reply by: PABrockway Date:1/5/2002 3:39:19 PM I have the same problem with an internal Sony CD RW drive. The Device manager says that it is a CD RW CRX160E Scsi CD Rom Dev. When I got to write the CD it can't find any RW device. I have no problem with Adaptec Easy CD Creator, Direct CD or Quicken. I got ACID Music for Christmas and so far can't use it. By the way, Version 1 that I got with a HP external CD writer had the same problem. Their answer was to get a replacement CD from HP. So let me know when you find a solution rather than loggin in as admin. I installed ACID Music under my own ID not, admin. but I have the same priviledges.

By the way the directions on knowledge base 1053 does work to save the file as a mixed wave file and write from another software package. I am also using Windows 2000 professional.

ACID Pro 3.0 will only let me write (or read) to (from) the CD drive if I'm the Administrator on Win 2K. I guess it's not a terrible problem, but it's certainly a security issue. I suspect there's some way to give myself permission to access the drive...but that undoubtedly requires some kind of arcane chant. -rich-

Somewhat of an answer to my own problem: I'm running Windows 2K and discovered that ACID *can* see my CD drive *iff* I login as Administrator. Anybody have an idea how to enable CD access for another user?

I have the same problem with an internal Sony
CD RW drive. The Device manager says that it is
a CD RW CRX160E Scsi CD Rom Dev.

When I got to write the CD it can't find any
RW device. I have no problem with Adaptec Easy
CD Creator, Direct CD or Quicken.

I got ACID Music for Christmas and so far can't
use it.

By the way, Version 1 that I got with a
HP external CD writer had the same problem.
Their answer was to get a replacement CD
from HP.

So let me know when you find a solution rather than loggin in as admin. I installed
ACID Music under my own ID not, admin. but
I have the same priviledges.

and it still could not find my CD Burner.

does work to save the file as a mixed wave file and
