cd-rom not recognized by burning software

[tim]

I have tried Nero 6 and Roxio 5 but on both programs the
cd-rom is not recognized. When I insert a disc the cd-rom
acts normal by reading and so forth, but the recording
software will not pick up on it. Anyone got any ideas.

It is a CD Burner drive isn't it and not just a CD Rom drive?

Easy CD and Nero will not work with CDROM drives. You need a CDR/RW
drive!
What drive do you have?

I was having, what sounds like, the same problem. I could install and read cd's no problem, but it wouldn't recognize blank cd's. Uninstalled, reinstalled, no change

Finally, I went to www.snapfiles.com, and downloaded cdburner xp pro. Works just fine now. I don't know if it was a driver problem, some problem with a Roxio file, or what. But I can burn any cd I want to now. It was, apparently, a software issue, not a hardware one

Hope this helps
