is it in the HCL page ? or any NT4 drivers included in the setup cd ? or one thing that could be happening is that its normal for it to work as a normal cdrom, the same thing happened to me, i have a philips seriers 400 4x4x32x and it just works as a normal cdrom drive. except if you use a cd burning app like CDRWIN or NERO which support my cdrw and definitely yours, it will burn stuff with it. except since your drivers are not installed like in win98, you dont have all the little nifty features ..like drag and drop recording, we all have to live with it until final win2k! or philips makes sum win2k drivers ;oP
let me know if that was what you were looking for.

OK, here we go...
I have the exact same burner, and before I tried anything else...I installed the updates recommended at this adaptec site for their product ezcd creator 3.5...
http://webcheckup.adaptec.com/ecdc-win2k/
I don't know if my burner worked prior to this, but I can run CDRwin perfectly, so it can't be that bad.
Adaptec supplies a file that you run BEFORE you install their software, I don't know what it does....could it be their aspi driver? Don't know, but it works. Check it out.
