I have the problem described in KB 316529: CD-R Drive or CD-RW Drive Is Not Recognized As A Recordable Device
I have two DVD-RW drives installed. They are both on the second IDE channel (cable select). The title of the article accurately describes my problem: After years of trouble-free operation, Windows XP has decided that both drives are not writeable.
The registry edit suggested in the article works, but it does not 'stick'. As soon as I start the CD Writing Wizard, Windows treats the drives a CD-ROMs again. Uninstalling the drivers does not help.
I can't tell exactly when this problem started, but I can say that these drives have been burning CDs and DVDs for years without a hitch. No question that these drives are 100% compatible with XP. Both have the latest firmware.
What can I do?
