CD Burnner trouble - Samsung CD-R/RW SW-248F

I'm having some trouble with a CD Burnner. I can't seem to find the right drivers for it, and no burnning program will recognise it. The program I'm currently trying to use is Burn4Free, and it as well won't recognise the drivers. The error I get is "install aspi driver", and I've tried downloading and messing around with ForceASPI, the program that the developer recommends for the error, to no avail. If it's of any use, the system info for the drive is:

System Information report written at: 01-09-2005 03:15:40 AM
[CD-ROM]

Item Value
Drive D:
Description CD-ROM Drive
Media Loaded False
Media Type CD-ROM
Name SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-248F
Manufacturer (Standard CD-ROM drives)
Status OK
Transfer Rate Not Available
SCSI Target ID 0
PNP Device ID IDE\CDROMSAMSUNG_CD-R/RW_SW-248F_________________R602____\5&2641F507&0&0.0.0

Can anybody help with what's wrong? Any help would be super-appriciated.

EDIT: I should also mention that I can access the CD drive through Windows when there's a non-blank CD in it just fine; and that I'm using Windows NT under a non-administrator user.

The first thing a tech will do is test it logged in as an administrator.
If you can't do that then this is a far as you'll get.

NT? Jeepers! That old bird belongs in the garbage can.

Oh well. My dad (the administrator) won't do anything about it, so I guess I'm screwed. Thanks for replying, though.

I agree, NT sereously needs to be thrown away. Almost as much as XP.

Your welcome.

Tell Pops it's 2005 now and he missed at least 4 new operating systems and
if Longhorn ever gets here it will be 5!

Haha, yes it is. I'm more of a Linux guy, though I think a split boot between Windows XP and some variety of Linux is pretty essential. Somehow I can't wait for Longhorn, just so that I can rub the Five into his face.
