Autoplay Blank Media

[Nik]

Hi

I wonder if someone could clarify something for me.

I have 2 drives that are capable of burning blank CD's. Both SONY, one is a
DW-U18A (CD/DVD Burner as my D: drive) the other is a RX230e (CD/RW as my E:
drive)

I have Nero 6 as my burning software.

I have XP set so that when I insert Blank media into my E: drive (the main
52x burner) it recognises it, and launches Nero (Set to "perform same
action" each time)

I have tried to set the D: drive to do the same, but it will only allow one
or the other.

I have gone into drive properties and enabled "Allow CD burning on this
drive" on each drive, but as I select it on one, it deselects it on the
other.

It's a minor point, but occasionally I may use the D: drive as a CD burner.
Is there a tweak I can use, or a setting I am missing, or is this not
possible?

Also, I have updated the Firmware on the 52x speed drive, as it would only
recognise a speed of upto 12x.

After I had done this, I got an email from the PC supplier to say I should
try to set it as a PIO drive under the IDE controllers in Device manager. As
it seems to be working I'm trying to establish if this is necessary/better
for the drive (E?

....I've yet to experiment with the DVD drive, and I'm sure I'll have loads
more questions! Sorry!

Thanks for any advice!

Nik.

My experience with multiple CD/DVR drives indicates that only ONE can be
set as a recorder at any one time.
