XP wont see blank disc in CDRW, but Nero works

[Jay S]

I've already adjusted the drive type for my CDRW and
DVDRW, but XP will still not recognize any type of blank
disc when trying to burn the files I am able to send to
the drive. Nero works fine.

Ay one point that "My Computer" used to list and show my
drives a "CDRW" (E and "DVDRW" (F, but now it just
labels them generically as both "CD Drive."

Thanks.

Use something like INCD or DirectCD.

XP's built-in burning sux. As it doesnt support
packet-writing, or formatting of CD's.

Indeed it does; it inflicts the worst of both CDR and CDRW.

Like CDR, you can't do packet writing
Like CDRW, you never know what's actually *on* the CD or not (yet)

Anything else is better, even Roxio/Adaptec
