"Hope this fixes my problems, drive performs somewhat erraric since 3.05 with EZ CD creator (sometimes eject after burn, sometimes not sometimes not recognizing just written CD,...)"

"Tried to install, even with latest aspi. Doesn't want to upgrade the firmware. Maybe Nero's aspi is in the way?"

"I need version for Windows XP Profesional Edition. The SO stop and send a blue pages asking for driver."

"I need help! I have a phillips cdd4851 cd-r/rw. When I try to burn a CD my whole computer locks up and I have to reboot in order to even open the thing to get the blank CD out! It used to work fine .. I don't understand. Can anyone help me???? Please!! and thanks."

"Philips 4801 CDD CD-R R/W (PCRW804) If you're having trouble with this drive not recognizing blank CD's, a firmware upgrade is available at Compaq's web site. www29.compaq.com/falco/sp_result.asp?Family=1&SwCategory=45&Os=94 This will upgrade the BIOS to 2.5, allowing it to identify the blank CD's. I have a Presario 7000 desktop running ME. Though my particular model(computer) is not listed, I downloaded it and it now works. Flashtool.exe (Version 3.1.4)"

"Driver loaded without a problem. Now I can burn 700meg disks at 8x"

"This driver 's not working for me. My computer reconize the cdd4851 i can read whit it but i can't write on it because there is not his own driver associate."

"Fixing a friends computer and found out that both Packard Bell and Philips support SUCKS. Driver Guide however rocks. This driver works great in a Packard Bell C2120AW with the Philips CDD4851 (PCRW1208) installed."

"according to adaptec easy cd creator, my drive is using 2,1, on my pcrw804 i tried the thing and it didnt do crap, said no drives found, so i guess i'm screwed...hat a fet problems with this drive it would initialize, and then never quit initializing found playing with the disconnect option under hardware manager would work around the problem..anyone got any feedback and is willing to help me lemme know, i'll appreciate it very much ) later everyone and thanks in advance"

"Dude check this site out... and u will find even newer stuff. www.pcstuff.philips.com"

"works good in the PCRW1208"

"Upgraded CDD4401/72 (in a Compaq 5BW120) - now works OK with XP, and accepts 80min CDs as a bonus! Not tried with audio yet, but definitely OK for backups. Thanks Boobers - now I've got a working CD-RW and I can afford to feed my kids as well!"

"It seems promising but it is not recognizing that my ASPI is installed. Adaptec's aspichk utility confirms that I have verions 4.6 and 4.7 files and that it is 'properly installed and fully operational'. Have you heard of this? (win 2000)"

"Why can't I download it? It seems to have been omitted from the site."

"PCRW804 Updated firmware WITHOUT ANY problems. Now able to burn 700MB-Disks! Thanx a lot!"

"ainda bem que encontrei! fiquei empolgado com a magnitude do site da philips, mas de que adianta se o servico de chat para help fornece apenas respostas obvias querendo cobrar US$ 19,99. ainda bem que temos www.drivers.com"

"Help i down loaded this driver and now my cd-rw will not work, It reads ok but when i start to copy it reports a hardware error no addition sense information(4 OX44 OXO1) does anyone know what this means and how do i get my cd-rw to work again"

"not getting it to work. im getting a aspi send error about 2% into the install. i have pcrw404, firmware 1.4b running win2000. anyone any ideas? thanks. Jason"

"phillips...hummm.. not very good on their customer support...anyways... i found that the Adaptec " create cd release #4" already has the drivers for this internal cdrw, and it works just fine now, first time the burner ever did. i am running win2000. I had nothing but problems with the "write2 cd" software supplied with the burner running under win98 and win2000. good luck. Note I did not try this driver"

"It would not allow me to flash the driver without the Adaptec APSI installed. How do I do that?"

"thanx, worked out perfectly"

"This driver works good, only one problem. I can copy data disks but when I go to copy an audio cd, it goes through the process smoothly until it gets to the "writing" phase. It writes a small amount and then an "output error" pops up and the disk pops out and that's all she wrote!! Do you have any idea how to fix this problem? thanx"

"I've got tje following message. "The setup-file is corrupted.""

"downloaded smooth, no problems."

"This worked perfect. No problems, very easy to install. I used it to up grade my Philips CDD 4801 R/RW 8/4/32 so it would write 700mb disks. Thanks"

"Have a Compaq Presario 5012US with a Philips 4801 R/RW and would not accept 80min CDs. Installed this driver and it did the trick. Thanks."

"Upgraded my Philips CDD 4801 R/RW... It finally works!!! 700M/80min disk recognition etc... Thanks a bunch!!"

"The link doesn't Work...."

"Worked perfectly. Upgraded my burner to 2.5."

"Nice work Boobers will give it a try."
