Error 4251 when burning a CD

Question

I cannot find an answer to any of the previously posted topics about unknown error 4251 when attempting to burn a playlist to disc, and I've gone through 25 CD-Rs trying to fix it myself. I've reduced the write speed, maximised the write speed, and changed CD-R and CD-RW brands twice (Maxell and Fuji). Please, please help!

Answer 1

I guess the model number is V2414NR. Does that sound right?
that's perfect. i found your downloads page at HP.
although there's nothing there by way of firmware for the Pioneer drive that is throwing the error, there are a few other downloads of note:
Software & Driver downloads: Compaq Presario V2414NR notebook PC (XP)
check to see if your HP Notebook System BIOS is up to date.
check to see if that AMD Processor Update for Microsoft Windows XP is relevant to your particular configuration of V2414NR. if so, check to see if you're up to date with that.
check to see if your up to date on that IDE Controller Enhancement.
check to see if your Graphics Driver for ATI Radeon Xpress 200M Chipset is up to date.
once you're satisfied you're up to date, do you still get the 4251?
(if no joy, we'll start checking on that virtual drive showing up in the diagnostics.)
