Thanks very much for your reply , i am going to wait until mourning to
disable xp burner. i went to the support site that you sent me and this
dumb old man can understand about half of what it says.
I got a cd-rom and a dvd/cd-rw drive in my computer now , well my
cd-rom
drive is going bad and i have a sony cd-r/rw that i was going to use as
a cd-rom that would make me have two cd-rw's. Will this be a problem?

Nero does NOT need Windows XP's Built-In CD Burner. If you want to use
Nero, uncheck Enable Recording on this Drive for your drive.
From a NERO readme...
[[Go to your Windows Explorer or My Computer and right click on your
Recorders drive letter, and then go to the "Recorder" Tab and in that
window disable the option for "Enable Recording on this Drive".]]
If you want to use Windows XP's Built-In CD Burner at a later time, you
have to check Enable Recording on this Drive for your drive.
Enable XP's recording wizard
Open My Computer, right click the CD Drive icon and then click
Properties. Click the Recording tab.
Check: Enable CD recording on this drive
Click: Apply
Click: OK
Enable CD recording on this drive
This setting turns on the built-in CD recording features included with
Windows XP.
Third-party CD/DVD burning programs sometimes disable this setting.
You can only enable CD recording for one device at a time.
