DVD RW no record tab in XP

[Bruce Watson]

I have added a LG combo drive GSA 4040B to e: and a LG CD\DVD R drive to f:

I do not have a recording tab!
I have unloaded and loaded the drives with and without rebooting and
phisically removing and reinstalling one at a time.

I am out of ideas!

How do I get a recording tab?

Windows XP does not have a built-in DVD recording program.
You'll need to install a third-party program such as Nero:

Did your DVD player not ship with a CD that contains a
DVD recording program? Did you install it?

Hello,
Thanks for the promt response
It is a combo drive and does not have a record tab?
It is compatable with XP - on the list and uses the default drivers.
It came with Nero, will record VCD need upgrade for DVD.
There is no record tab even with a CD R in it - my Micosoft movie maker does
not reconize the drive.
PS

Have installed drive on another computer XP pro and it worked!!
Drivers looked the same as mine
Drivers in use: both optical drives have the same drivers
c:\wiondows\system 32\Drivers\cdrom.sys
" \imapi.sys
\redbook.sys
c:\windows\system 32\storp.dll

Any suggestions?
