Unable to create a Network Setup Disk

[Guest]

The Network Wizard gives me the following error message 'The wizard has
detected that this computer has no floppy disk drives or other removeable
media. You need such a device to create a Network setup Disk'
However I have recently installed a DVD/CD writer (Philips DVDR1648K/00) as
a slave to an existing DVD ROM which normally works fine. I've checked the
driver etc... If I view via 'My Computer' it states that a DVD-RW Drive is
installed, in properties it has a 'recording tab' although the 'hardware tab'
only lists the manufacturer as (Standard CD-ROM drives). If I cannot sort
this is there a way of creating a Disc without the Wizard ?

I believe you can only create a Network Setup Disk on a floppy. However
you can set up the network with the XP CD. IMHO you would be best off
purchasing a router which are priced as low as $60.00 US.
