I too am experiencing similar problems with a CDRW drive
that XP Home sets up as a CDROM (read only drive) with a
Microsoft driver, which seems to override the Adaptec
Roxio driver that does recognize it correctly as a cdrw
drive within the Easy CD Create module under tools Drive
Info. I think Microsoft has been pushed to provide fully
functional drivers for a whole universe of older drives
and has defaulted to partial testing of these drives, and
it's frustrating. Driver Guide.com is one site that might
have the correct driver for your drive where I have found
drivers before, but the older drives are getting harder to
find OS updates for. Good Luck.
