There is a firmware update for the drive here (only for Win95/98/ME):  http://www.teac.co.jp/dspd/download/firmware/cd-w54e/explain.html
but I don't think this is going to solve your problem.

Are you getting an error of some sort when attempting to use the RW capabilites?  What Windows are you running? Has RW ever worked for you in the past?  What Media (CD/RWs) are you using?

Try the firmware update drawdef linked, if that doesn't work I'm afraid that you just have a hardware compatability issue; the drive doesn't support recording to 700MB CD-RW discs.  Also, are you using 1~4X CDRW media?  The newer HiSpeed or UltraSpeed CD-RW media is not compatible to burn on older 4X CD-RW drives.

Operatin system is win98se I used 650rw speeds 1-4 but when I try 700Mb rw (verbatim or similar)speeds 4-10 ne doesn't burn them or erase them just read!!
I head a hp-rw 2x i dont remember the model he coudn't burn 700Mb disk till I patched his bios then he worked fine i wonder did they make some patch for teac also!

I don't think this will work but thanks a lot!!!! :)
