Hmm,
Interesting, I haven't changed the drive properties yet,
but I also tried using Nero and it doesn't even see the
DVD-Rom drive while Windows does - in my computer -
Windows thinks it's a cd-rom. Are you saying I should
disable cd burning on my internal cd rom drive and enable
burning on my external dvd-rom drive and then try Nero, I
suspect Nero will still not see the drive at all.
