cd-rw problem

Kopf

I haven't been able to burn cds on my laptop since i installed XP pro (it came with xp home). the cd-rw/dvd-reader is a sony CRX830e.. The funny thing is, when I open nero infotool, it recognises everything perfectly; says the cd drive is able to burn cds,cd-rws.. However when I open Nero and try to burn, the only device available is the image recorder.

When I try to burn using Feurio!, it simply says I don't have a blank cd inserted (when I do, ofc)..

What should I do?

thats a strange one, which version nero you running? its to be like a driver problem! theres a windows update that adds cd burn to xp, i never tried it as i dont have to but its worth a try, and try do something with the drivers as well!

i've tried looking for drivers with google but to no avail. also, i have the win xp burning feature, but haven't tried it, since it's a piece of **** and i don't want to be relying on it....

nero is 5.5.10.42

try nero 6 see if that helps

Current highest 5.5 version is 5.5.10.56

May as well start by at least updating to that (at least you can do that for free).

There's a service in windows xp for cd burning that can cause problems with other software, I can't remember exactly what it's caused but it should be easy enough to find in the list and disable it.
