cd burner not finding drive

[Cass944]

when i try to instal my copy of easy cd creator 5 durring
the instal there is a popup and it says no supported
drives were found, continue wiht instal? i click yes but
still when i even try to open the program it wont let me.
if i get lucky and it opens it wont burn cds becuse no
drive is suported or something. I uninstalled windows
then reinstalled a fresh copy of XP and i havent been
able to make cds since then. I can burn cds using windows
explorer by just dragging things into the cd. but i want
to be able to make audio cds again. Its almost like its
not recognising that i have a cd-rw installed. how can i
make sure it does?

Update your ezcd version 5 with the patches from the roxio website, then try
again.

Be sure you have all the current drivers for your burner and software

By now, the Roxio/Adeptec Easy CD / Direct CD software is
well documented as being the major cause of this
undesirable shutdown behavior. SOLUTION: Roxio has
released new drivers (here) to solve this problem in both
the Platinum and Basic editions of Easy CD Creator 5. As
expected, at least half of the Win XP shutdown problems
went away with the release of these patches.

First is your cd drive a cd burner drive? What software are you using to
burn the cd's? What happens when you try, errors?
