Cdrom "skips"
This is a discussion about Cdrom "skips" in the Windows Hardware category; Very annoying problem I never really had in win9x: The cdrom refuses to read certain cd's that do work on other pc's (Intel based. . ) the cdrom itself is fine cause i placed it in a different pc (intel) and it worked fine with cds i cant run on my system (amd).

Someone suggested changing the timeing of it. I changed PIO mode in bios from 3 to 2 but that doesnt seem to do much especially cause its on UDMA anyway. What more can i try?

You might try installing the latest Via 4 in 1 drivers from the website - have you installed these drivers at all?
Also try putting the CDROM on a different IDE controller, and switching it from Master to Slave or vice-versa.
Finally try another drive with your machine, there may be an incompatability between the cd drive and your motherboard.

OP
Will get those 4in1 drivers asap
btw. those 4in1 are in the NT section and there is no mention of them in the win2k section..this aint a prob?
update 2 : they wont run, installer aborts when it detects 2k
Possible to install stand alone drivers?

Try to force its controller to run in PIO mode, instead of UDMA. You can do that from device manager, IDE controllers i think
There are sone beta 4 in 1 drivers avalible for Win 2K (V4.22) If you look at fargo's thread - Via Drivers V4.22 in this forum, you'll find the url from with you can download them.

Update - 4.22 is out of beta - you can download this and AGP driver v4.03 from Via's website - these both install under Win 2K
