Auto-Insert Notification

Pr.Sinister
Does anyone here know how to enable the Auto-Insert Notification on a CD-ROM drive in Windows 2000? In Win98, you could change that in the CD-ROM's Property in the Device Manager but there is no such option in Win2k's Device Manager.

PartitionMagic 5.0 & W2K

Palos
Just came back from CeBIT and I was told by Powerquest representatives that they have a patch in the works due for release sometime in April. . . Conclusion: do not convert all your partitions to NTFS if you have the slightest thought of going back to W9x (or dual booting).

Canon LBP-660 & FB630U

hjf
Is there any possibility getting these Canon devices to work under Win2k. I´ve tried the NT-driver for the LBP-660 and windows-printing-system seemd to be ok, but the printer-drivers won´t install. For the scanner FB630U I couldn´t find any Win2k-drivers although the MS-compability- list says that they are availible.

Driver for Sony DSC-F505

jmiller
I have a Sony DSC-F505 the USB drivers for WIndows98 works great but there are no USB drivers for Windows 2000 that I can find and the RS232( serial port) is just too too slow. Is there anyone out there that can take the Windows 98 USB drivers and modify them to work with Windows 2000.

We got Liveware2000, now how 'bout some DXR3 drivers...

Ryo-Ohki
Now that I've got my full support of my Soundblaster Live! Value, I'd know like to use my DXR3 in 2000 (yes, I've tried the Hollywood Plus driver with terrible results). Is there any way these nice people who got us the Liveware2000 stuff could also get us DXR3 owners some drivers for 2000 as well? Just wondering.

IDE channel problem (?)

klang_
Guys, I think I have a problem with my IDE channel(s). On and off, the computer locks up when I access my cd-rom (creative 48x). Could be when I start a game or run an installation. The HD led goes on (constant light) and a restart is needed.
